zhabodav Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 So My clutch got completely roasted at 41,xxx miles. It somehow rusted aswell. My throwout bearing was screwed up and since they were replacing that under warranty they recommended that I switch the clutch aswell. Here is the picture: I went rough on the car a few times but I didnt think that the clutch would go so soon. Anyways, the dealership was great, got an 09 forester as a loaner. BTW, the gas mileage on the base forester non-turbo is worse than on my legacy gt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFromPA Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wow....I can't really tell the depth of that thing, but it looks done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 So you got this repaired by the dealership in PA? I guess your dealership back home broke things more instead of fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got the throwout bearing fixed the first time the clutch felt extremely tight. I am guessing that they tightened the pressure plate too much somehow and the throwout bearing wore out the clutch prematurely. I am guessing this. I have no idea even if it is possible. But up close it looked like a war zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhabodav Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 BTW What is the break in mileage and misc. Infor for a new clutch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbite3360 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 ^^ My stock clutch looked a lot worse than yours, but mine had 74K on it. One thing we noticed after taking it out, was that the throw out bearing was dry as a bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
