Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Adjust clutch or replace?

Adjust clutch or replace?

I went autocrossing last weekend and now my clutch grabs a lot farther out than it used to. Where can i adjust this or should i just replace... if i have to replace it, is it covered by warranty? i have an 06

Autocrossing, so you were beating on the car? Im sure that's probably what the dealership will say to you. All depends on what they find when they take the trans apart, clutch condition, pressure plate etc etc. It's an 06 and the clutch is already on it's way out though, that sounds like some serious beating? Bring it by and let em take a look at it.

i believe the clutch is considered a wear and tear item...so i doubt it'll be covered...and if it was you burned your out way to fast...they prolly wouldn't cover it because they wont cover any part broken by "racing"

Your refering to the slack adjuster (similar to what's on a air brake system) It's a rod that adjusts the hydraulic clutch. It does not adjust the clutch per-se but the amount of travel needed to engage/dis-engage the clutch based on wear.
