logic23 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I just had a 97 outback come in with a broken clutch fork(hydraulic). The car supposedly had a new clutch assembly installed. I'm guessing that the fork got a crack in it from the previous clutch/pressure plate and it finally broke. Does anyone have one of these forks.

davebugs Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 A more common failure than you'd think. I buy new due to this. I forget - but I want to say maybe 60 bucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic23 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've seen broken clutch forks in small pickups but not in the subaru family. Oh well add that the the list. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to call dealer and see what our price is / availability. subarugenuineparts.com had one for ~70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 See if anyone else has feedback - but I go new if I have a choice. It's kinda deep in there to be using used parts. Especially when I seem to get about 2 per year that are cracked. Infact maybe a third of the manuals I get have either the fork cracked or the clips (TO bearing to fork) broken. And I'd rather fix this problem than HG's. Then again I always pull the engine (never the tranny) and do HG's idlers, belts, plugs, baffle plate, seals, etc while it's out. But then again, I basically only buy broken cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic23 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 yeah... I'm all for the new parts. Off to the dealer in the a.m. This engine already had the HG etc. done at the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
