russamotto Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 My clutch went out in the middle of the intersection yesterday. We've owned the Subaru Legacy GT for a month or so and the clutch has seemed touchy but the previous owner said it's because it was just replaced with a new clutch. It hasn't made any grinding noises or seemed to have any problems until yesterday when I pushed it down and it felt heavy, then the car died. I tried to start it up again and it was smoking from the hood and the clutch wouldn't engage, felt very heavy to push down so we had to have it towed. I'm trying to contact the previous owner to see who put in the new clutch but meantime can anyone tell me what might be wrong and possibly how much it will run me to get it repaired?

russamotto Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 oh sorry, I didn't give the info on the car. It's a 2006 Subaru Legacy GT with just over 100,000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recian Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Sounds like a problem with the pressure plate not wanting to compress like maybe a bent fin. Best way to know for sure is to watch under the hood and see what the slave does. Could be the slave cylinder or master cylinder pistons have seized up. Itd be easier to fix the hydraulic circuit than tear the clutch apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
