Replying to: drivelikejehu (Dec 13, 2005 10:08 pm) That happened to our old Mitsu Mirage right before we sold it.   I removed it, aired it out to dry, then replaced it.   If I were going to keep it, I'd probably add some sort of sealant, maybe silicone or the black stuff used for RVs.   -juice Replies to this message: drivelikejehu (Dec 14, 2005 10:52 am) ateixeira (Dec 14, 2005 10:54 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 14, 2005 9:12 am) if thats the case, since it's only a week old, i may ask the dealer if they will replace both of them. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Dec 14, 2005 10:54 am)

Replying to: drivelikejehu (Dec 14, 2005 10:52 am) Just replace the one that is condensating, unless both of them are?   -juice
#2977 of 3121 Clutch Chatter? by benjamind Dec 15, 2005 (5:12 pm)
Hello all!   I'm new here and I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I bought a 2002 2.5 TS wagon last year and I love it to pieces. I only have one issue with it, when the weather gets cold the clutch gets a little funny and the car chugs when I take off. I've heard that the Impreza does that, but why? Is my clutch slowly destroying itself?   Thanks,   Ben Replies to this message: rsholland (Dec 15, 2005 5:45 pm) ateixeira (Dec 15, 2005 5:52 pm) threesin (Jan 05, 2006 11:19 pm)

Replying to: benjamind (Dec 15, 2005 5:12 pm) Hi Ben. Unfortunately clutches do wear out, and it sounds like yours could be on the way out. BTW, it's not just an Impreza problem, as most if not all clutch-equipped cars will eventually run into this.   Bov

Replying to: benjamind (Dec 15, 2005 5:12 pm) There is a TSB about this, though I doubt adjustments will help.   Oddly, it doesn't seem to affect longevity of the clutch, only the operation. The chatter should stop once the powertrain is warm, or if you do a couple of burn outs in reverse.   Not that I'm recommending the latter.   -juice
#2980 of 3121 Wheel Offset: How Critical?? by threesin Jan 05, 2006 (11:03 pm)
Back again, after another long absence, and I'm looking for answers......... again.   I'm wondering how critical the wheel offset is to wear on the wheel bearings?? I've tried to read all the wheel charts presented on I-Club and other sites, and it appears that if the wheel and tire combo will fit without tire contact with the wheel well, then owners will go with what looks good to them. Yet, in the Suby service manuals, a specific wheel offset is called for on each individual model.   I want to use an older Impreza RS sedan wheel (offset 53mm) on an '03 Impreza OBS wagon (spec offset 55mm). Can anyone tell me, based on experience or technical knowledge, if this small difference is going to have any long term bad affects on my wheel bearing wear??   TIA for your input, and best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous NY to you all..........Terry Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 06, 2006 7:48 am) threesin (Jan 06, 2006 5:21 pm)

Replying to: benjamind (Dec 15, 2005 5:12 pm) Ben, my first Suby was an '02 OBS, and it was plagued with the so called clutch shudder/chatter or whatever you want to call it. Many "old Suby owners" claimed this was normal and typical. I didn't buy it; and after two clutch replacements, the second one as a result of the bulletin mentioned by Juice, the problem was resolved.   I have since owned an '03 Impreza, and it did not have any of the clutch chatter problems. I have also owned several other Imprezas, dating from the 2000 model through the current 2006 model; and I have not had any clutch chatter problems with any of them.   You didn't say how many miles you have on your wagon, but a good service manager may get the problem resolved for you under the old service bulletin. Unfortunately, this didn't ever become a "recall" item. You had to ask to get the problem resolved. So, you've got nothing to lose by asking about the fix at your local Suby dealer.   Good Luck..........Terry

Replying to: threesin (Jan 05, 2006 11:03 pm) 2mm is a very tiny difference, you should be fine. My aftermarket wheels are 6mm different and I've had no issues at all, in fact the tires wear more evenly now than they did with the OE rims.   -juice Replies to this message: threesin (Jan 06, 2006 5:21 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 06, 2006 7:48 am) juice,   I appreciate your input. I didn't think it would be a problem; but wondered why the Suby shop manual didn't give a range of offset fits rather than a specific offset for each model within the same model year.   Thanks again.........Terry
