duffrey93 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hello I'm having some clutch issues with my 1998 Legacy 2.5GT. Basically the clutch pedal just snaps to the ground and I have to pull it back up. Neither the slave nor the master cylinder appeared to be leaking and there was plenty of fluid. And when the car is on and parked I cannot get it into gear but, when it is off it will go into gear. So from what I have read and from talking to some people I figured it was either the slave or the master cylinder. So I went ahead and changed them both and bled the the system but that did not help. I feel like I can get some pressure in the pedal now after pumping it but it is still pretty soft and I still cant get it into gear. The one other bit of info is the clutch fork seems to have a little play in it. It moves front to back very easily about an inch and it moves up and down about 1/4". Ive never have checked it before so i dont know whether this is normal. So I cant figure out whats going on. I was hoping it was something with the hydraulics but now I am thinking it is something internal. Does anyone know whats going on? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted October 29, 2012 I Donated Share Posted October 29, 2012 Its probably the clutch fork. I recently broke mine at the pivot point and had a similar issue. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

C I Smooth Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah I'm with brok. The clutch fork should have little to no play in it. You might also want to check out your throw out bearing if that's the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted October 31, 2012 I Donated Share Posted October 31, 2012 For what its worth, I bought a new clutch fork and the 3 associated clips from the dealer for roughly $30, so they aren't too expensive. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

duffrey93 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks for the help guys. I like the cost of the parts, im just worried about the cost of labor. I would love to do it myself I just dont have the time or resources. Ill have to search for a good cheap shop around the Seattle area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffrey93 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Alright, I just wanted to close the loop on this thread. The clutch fork did break and along with that, the pilot bearing and shaft were super worn out as well. And since everything was open, I went ahead and replaced the clutch too. It wasn't cheap getting it all fixed but, it had to be done. Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
