downtoearth Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 this has been happening for a while now, ever since i got my clutch replaced because of a bad TOB when ever the clutch is let out a creaking noise is heard from the tranny engine area of the vehicle, almost like your stepping of a creaky wooden floor. it seems that when any amount of torque is applied to the transmission it creaks. could this be a symptom of a bad tranny mount, or engine mount or is the end insight? any other idea? 5mt NA Leggy 64,000 miles around 14,000 on the clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Sounds like throw out bearing you might be able to pull back the boot and spray some lubricant like lithium grease straight down on the sleeve of the transmission and on the clutch fork itself. When they replaced the clutch they probably didn't lubricate the clutch fork and center of the transmission where the TOB rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 It is typically not advisable to spray lubricant towards your clutch disc.

Brett Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 It is typically not advisable to spray lubricant towards your clutch disc. hey BAC, my tranny sounds rough, but it feels smooth, aside from the slow roll in 1st gear where it's jumpy when you let off the throttle. is this common in a 5mt?

Totally normal for a Subaru. Stiffer motor/trans mounts help reduce the jerkiness, but it's caused partially by engine management. There have been some that have tuned it out, though.

BAC5.2 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yep. Subaru's have been doing that for the whole 23 year history of the EJ engine.

Max Capacity Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 What, a Subaru 5mt that sounds like a bucket of rocks when you lift off the gas...why I never hear mine when I have the radio turned up to about 14.

FJuan Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 downtoearth, this type of sound is also heard from the clutch pedel itself. Underneath the dash were the clutch rod goes through the firewall is a spring. I would get this occasionally and putting some lube around this spring and it's contact points to help reduce the noise. Check to see if this sound is coming from the firewall underneath the dash. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
