I got quoted $390 for the clutch kit and parts, and 7.5 hours at $75/hr labor. Hopefully the job wont take that long... i cant imagine a proffesional with the propper tools taking that long, but if it does then sobeit. These engines are ALOT different than the old EA81's im used to working on, and i...

32mm it is. like i needed another $12 socket to add to my collection :) I took the car to my mechanic today. he's going to have a new clutch in it by tomorrow. He quoted me $950 total for parts and labor. That includes 7.5hrs of labor at a reduced labor rate. Hopefully he'll get it done sooner and s...

This weekend is kinda booked. I think i'll be working on the Legacy. I need to put a new clutch in it... anyone feel like they wanna help? I was supposed to drive to Tahoe Sunday to do some wheelin' but not sure if I'll be going.

Also: And if i hold the steering wheel steady and let the car make a wide right turn, the front of the car will steer hard, then steer back, then sharp, then back... and repeat... all without me even moving the steering wheel. This is what scares me the most. Only happens when i steer right. Seems a...

Definatly. Now that i got a EJ22 we'll have to meet up. I noticed there are a couple others from our area as well. Didnt I see someone from Roseville?

Ok, i'll have my mech check it out. But the camber looks good in the rear.

1992 Legacy Turbo Sedan. 5spd, AWD, 4dr. When i accelerate real hard, seems like the rear end wants to swerve to the left. When i let off the gas, the front end wants to veere to the right. Makes it very difficult to handle the car at high speeds when it wants to fishtail everywhere... and its kinda...

Thanks for the info. The CV's should be a sinch to remove then... is the castle nut at the end of the rotor still 36mm?

I operate #subaru on irc.dal.net

Its hard to get on a server these days tho, you can find current dal.net servers at http://www.dal.net and follow the link to the "servers"

Im usually on when im online.

I just got a new set of pneumatic tools too :) Time to break them in. I assume being a Subaru it uses the standard Metric sockets. Is it necessary to remove the CV's or could I just disconnect them from the tranny end? Everything seems pretty cut and chase. Another question, sorta offtopic... but sh...

Is the 5spd in the EJ22T the same as any old EJ22's 5spd? and do they share the same clutch and assembly?

And if i decide to replace the clutch myself, can anyone recommend a good place to start searching for one?

-Brian

How difficult is it to drop the transmission. is it just a basic 5spd or are there a bunch of complicated things in the way?

Thanks guys

I Found a 1992 Legacy Turbo. Its a 5spd AWD and it has a bad clutch. How difficult would it be to replace the cluch on these things? I'm used to smaller engines like the Subaru EA81 and the 8.5" clutches they use. How much larger are these clutches? and how much harder is it to replace them? Wo...
