Would like to hear any ones thoughts on this issue. When the temp. is under about 72 the ac works great. From about 72 to 82 it will run maybe 10 to 15 min. and then shut down. Over about 82 it may or may not run at all. I checked the clutch gap and it was a little over the recommended max. I took off the clutch and removed one of the shims this put the gap right in spec. Had the same issues, removed the other shim same problem. When it isn't working the clutch spins a little and stops over and over it is trying to engage. I now believe the coil is shot and when it gets hot it loses the strength to engage the clutch. I was able to find and buy a new clutch mechanism in it's entirety. I have no problem removing the clutch plate after that I'm not sure. I have read some clutches are pressed on some will come right off. In the event it is pessed I have assorted bearing pullers should I be able to use these?? Any ones experience with this please respond. Also when replacing it would heating up the coil and cooling the shaft help it to slip on easier? Thanks -
Today as I came off the expressway there were some bad pot holes I hit one of them and the radio of my 2008 Outback went off. Seemed like it had to be hitting the pothole that was the cause. The only thing I have checked so far was the fuse. It was good. I would welcome any ones thoughts on how to proceed trying to figure out where the problem lies. Thanks

I noticed a slight oil smell on further observation I see oil at what I believe is the oil pressure sending unit? the oil is on the lower part of the unit and to the left in the pic. and below there was a small puddle of oil. Since I've always known the oil from any leak to run mostly down never up and the unit has got oil on it I'm guessing it's the unit. Any one have any thoughts on this? Replace switch? remove and tape? Thanks Not sure why the pics turned sideways

My 2nd Outback. Ski Patrol caused me to buy them. Never had a real problem with them, until now: Position-lights are staying on, even with the keys removed. I will post that where ever appropriate. Heinz
