Certified Subaru Clutch Replacement Service for the Denver Metro Area

At Mike Shaw Subaru, the certified technicians in our service center have a lot of experience with Subaru clutches. Because of the flat BOXER® engines and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that Subaru models are known for, replacing the clutch is a little different than in Dad's old pickup. Below, we look at some of what's involved in replacing a Subaru clutch as well as symptoms of a bad clutch. If you have any questions, please give us a call or simply stop by our service center at 1650 W 104th Avenue, Thornton, CO 80234.

What are Some Symptoms of a Bad Clutch in a Subaru?

Early signs of a clutch that may be going out are usually found in higher gears. For instance, you may notice something of a surge when you change from fourth to fifth gear on the freeway. As the clutch becomes more worn out, you may start noticing the slipping in lower gears. If you don't feel the same acceleration you're used to when changing gears, the clutch may well be slipping and need to be replaced.

However, just because a clutch is showing symptoms of going out doesn't always mean that you need a new clutch. Often, a simple adjustment of the clutch is all that's necessary. Ultimately, your best bet to get straight to any issues you maybe be having with a clutch is to consult the experts who have been trained by the factory.

How Long Should the Clutch Last in Your Subaru?

This is a lot like trying to answer how long brake pads will last. There just isn't a set answer because driving habits will make a big difference in how long brake pads or a clutch will last. On some models, a technician may be able to inspect the clutch and tell you how much is left on it. However, not all clutches can be inspected without taking everything apart. This is a big job that means disconnecting the transmission from the engine, so your best bet is to keep up with regular maintenance by certified Subaru mechanics. That way, we'll be able to catch a bad clutch before it leaves you stranded.
