Hello everyone a little advice would be helpful. I have a 95 subaru lagacy wagon awd, 2.2l, 5spd. I am in the process of trying to put a new clutch in. I read both my chiltons and haynes manuals before starting, took my time, my cables, starter, pitching bar, axles, exhaust, , wires, driveshafts,top and bottom trans nuts and bolts, crossmembers ( I might of left a few things out im a little tired) then I started to lower the jack just a little ( I do not have a transmission jack but I use a 2x4 and strapped it to the jack) I dont have the special tool subaru reccomends for the top of the engine so I used my bottle jack and a 4x4 to raise the front of the engine a little. So now the transmission should slide rearward on the jack, so i think. Nothing, okay maybe a little more angle on the engine, nothing,okay, so I get uder the car and try to pull it back off of the engine. Huh, still nothing. Patience is a virtue, maybe too much pressure on the floor jack. Try too pull of again. nothing. So after double checking everthing is dissconnected and trying every variation to the n'th degree of raising and lowering and pulling I cant get it to budge, there is just half of a hairs with of a separation between them on one side. So now Im thinking maybe heat weld,I dont know it was slipping but it still moved I mean I didnt drive it till there was smoke and the smell of burnt brakes. But maybe the mrs did ahh the joys of sharing. Ther was a black powder on the starter I dont know if this is normal. I love this car but now shes starting to a:banghead: ct up and any reccomendations on how to calm her would be helpful. well, happy hunting everyone
