thanks a ton! I wasn't even aware it had a hill holder, I will adjust it after work today. that totally explains the exact symptoms. you guys rock!

gear oil is good, checked and filled it at the end of clutch change service. trans was working properly before, I have had the car for about 8 months. cluthc cable adjustment was a bit weird as it felt like it engaged a bit quick, so the nut is down about as far as it goes on the cable end. replaced clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and throwout bearing

hmmm, it's a 1995, wasn't aware of the hill holder option. is that the other cable attached to the clutch fork? intersting, i will look into that

Hi all, i am new to the forums and fairly new to being a subaru owner. I also posted this in another forum here's my strange issue: I have a 1995 legacy outback with a manual transmission. last weekend a buddy and I replaced my clutch, since it was worn and slipping. The install went pretty smooth. after the install, we tested the operation while it was still on the lift and it made a whirring noise. we lowered it down and tried reversing it out of the shop, and the rear wheels were locked up and sliding across the shop floor. we put it back up on the lift and found no issues. we lowered it again and it worked fine. a day later, I drove it to a friends house and we stopped to get some beers and it started binding up in the parking lot, it felt like the E-brake was on halfway... after we got out of the store, the car drove fine. the next day on the way to work, it kept happening while at a stop light, here's the weird part... when I drive forward, it binds up like the brake is on, but if I put it in neutral and then let out the clutch pedal, the binding goes away, I can shift back into first gear, and it drives fine. then this evening it got a bit worse, it would not free up when I released the clutch in neutral, but when I pulled up on the pedal with the top of my foot, it would finally free up the binding. I have searched many times to find people with this issue, no luck. it does not do anything weird when I turn, as some people have had problems with turning and tires jumping... any help would rock, thanks a ton to you guys and gals! -Jared in Portland OR
