Hey all, recently got an STi and I am pretty sure my clutch is on its way out. I want to get it replaced but don't want to get screwed. Does anyone know of a good shop or person in town for working on subarus?

these guys could probably point you in the right direction

 

is your clutch slipping or just engaging late? Mine didn't engage until what I considered to be too late as I released the clutch, so I thought is was shot. I had it replaced, come to find out the clutch plate itself was only worn to 70%, but the pressure plate had some issues. Point is, wait for it to start slipping before you get it replaced. Just my $.02

 

If you are in 5th or 6th and go WOT, it starts slippin all over the place, revving up high, but going nowhere. I think it is toast, or well on its way.

Just contacted the dealer and they quoted $1050 for parts/labor to replace the clutch! wow. Anybody got some Vasoline?

 

I'm vouching for blkwagon. His name is Chris and he is a very good guy who knows his stuff.
Give him a PM.

 

Also, we're having a mini meet on the 21st. It'd be nice to see more suby people in town.

Most of the guys don't post on here though. They're usually on www.fresnoracing.net.

 

Yeah i saw the post there for that lollipop place. Unfortunately, by the 21st i will have fully transformed into a raving lunatic. I am studying for the bar exam which begins on the 24th.

After the 27th though, i am down for whatever. I live in Olde Town Clovis, and do most of my shopping over at herndon and fowler, and in just that little area i have seen some nice subys around.

 

if you have time you can come by friday-sunday this weekend and i can look at it. send me a PM

 

Try to swing by anyway for an hour or so. Never hurts to meet new people and enjoy some nice drinks.

 

i can vouche blkwagon. im gonna get my clutch replaced pretty soon and im goin to him.

 

Cool, lets go in there and see if we can get a 2 for 1 deal.

 

Oh also, i got on that fresnoracing.net site and created an account and can login but can't see anything...i think i am in limbo or something.

 

fresnoracing takes a while to get activated because of all the spam they've recieved lately. Normally it takes a day or two

 

Yeah i noticed the only section i could really get into was one where you are supposed to introduce yourself and the whole forum consisted of erectile dysfunction pills and asian donkey **** vids.

 

yeah to prove you are not a spam bot or whatever, just say hi..what car u drive...just intro urself. then play the waiting game. im blubaru on fsr
