In reply to Faidon. I would suspect an issue with the throw-out bearing, the pressure plate, or the clutch fork. Before dropping the transmission, double check to make sure you don't have any air in the clutch lines.

Hi all,
My issue is quite different than yours, when i depress the clutch pedal, it gets stuck exactly at the point where the gear should be engaged, and then noise is made like metal parts are hitting each other and after sticking there temporarily then returns to the original position. The fact that it sticks there for these moments and the normal movement of pedal depress is altered, makes the clutch to engage very suddenly and the car jumps to the front.
Any idea what could be the cause of this issue please?

In reply to Lee. Sounds like it may be the throw out bearing. If so, replacing the throw out bearing would require you to either pull the engine or drop the transmission. Pulling an engine on those old Outbacks isn't too hard if you already have experience working in the garage. You just need a cherry picker (also called an engine crane) and ideally an engine stand. If you've never done this before, it's best to do this job with another person who's done it before.

Hey folks,

I have a 2000 Subaru/LEGACY/OUTBACK LIMITED, when i release the clutch it makes a squealing noise. Is this a throw out bearing issue? Would it be difficult for a novice to repair himself, if so?

Any insight would be appreciated.

In reply to Mary. Check your clutch fluid level. I would bleed the clutch also to make sure you don't have any air in the lines.

Hi,

I have a 3 1/2 year old Dacia Sandero Stepway 2, 1.5cc Diesel, and driven 70000km. Guarantee expired after 3 years.

I’m no car expert at all :/. Fairly recently I began to hear something resonating as I feather the clutch pedal. In neutral there is already a rattle but that is normal I think but seems to become louder when the pedal is partial pressed but then disappears when the pedal is fully depressed.

Is it the throw-out bearing that rattles ? A few weeks ago I hit a pothole hidden under water. I cannot remember is the sound was there then. Could that have damaged the bearings ?

In reply to Ron Mason.

The 2015-2018 WRX has a technical service bulletin (TSB) for the throw out bearing. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10150949-9999.pdf
