Michael EP91 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Alright guys,Had the car up at falkirk cruise last night and on the drive home I was driving calmly,came up to a roundabout next to the stadium and was in fifth slowed down and changed to third then tried to accelerate out of corner and the car just revved ! there was nothin, no drive atall, no loud crunches bangs or nothing? The car goes into gear without puttin the clutch down and it doesn't drive atall. Anyone had anythin like this happen to them?I've got a mate who's a mechanic at subaru and knows them very well, says it could be a clutch or a gearbox?Thanks for any help/advice/thoughts in advance !

Michael EP91 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 thanks guys,was hoping it was the clutch as the gearbox is a year old ! and it's the cheaper option ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 first check the slave cylinder is on properly. i had the same problem when i took mine off and didnt put it back on properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael EP91 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 i've had the car four weeks and it's been fine ! never touched anything mechanically ! changed the HT Leads and fuel filter is about as far as it goes. When I started driving the car it was starting to crunch slightly going into gears, thing this was a sign the clutch was about to go as it went 5minutes(if that) afterwards ?

Steve GT Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 id get a new clutch anyway mate even if its not clutch if you take the whole box off its a big job just to put it straight back on again. worth putting a new clutch on while the box is off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
