Hi Guys, I'm new here, and could use some help. As my name denotes, I have a 1990 Legacy. In trying to avoid a clutch job (slips when giving it too much throttle), I want to try adjusting the clutch. Where does one do so on this car? I read somewhere that on the pedal is not prudent because it can throw-off the hill-holder feature. I really appreciate your input. Thanks!

 

I know. I realize that's the solution, but after the quote I got, I don't want to dump that kind of $ into something 14 years old. Just trying to buy some more time - ideally to get one more winter out of her. I'll crawl under and look for an adjustment lever somewhere...

 

You know, that might be the route to go. Heck, maybe not... Just got married, and with 4 stick rides, she really wants an automatic, and I understand. Considering that I tinker with the other 3 (MINI Cooper S, dune buggy and a kit car), I really don't want another project these days...

Anyone want a Legacy wagon!?

I'm in the SF Bay Area (San Jose)...

Is it even worth pondering a conversion to an automatic on the Legacy? The car runs like a champ, minus the slippage... Thanks for the input.

 

Nope.

Didn't you say you weren't interested in another project... and didn't want to spend the $ on a new clutch?

 

First, it's not something I would do myself, so it wouldn't be another project to sap my time and energy...

And in the whole context of the situation, if I were to get an automatic out of it, then I wouldn't need to buy the wife an automatic where I was looking to spend at least 5 to 10k...

I appreciate the input guys. Thanks.
