I WAS ADVISED BY THE SUBARU REPAIR MANAGER THAT THIS CLUTCH IS NOT GOOD. HE RECOMMENDED I INSTALL A HIGHER PRICED FORRESTER CLUTCH BECAUSE IT WILL LAST LONGER. HE SAID FAILURE OF THIS CLUTCH IS COMMON. I ALSO UNDERSTAND PREVIOUS YEARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK

THE INHIBITER SWITCH WHICH PREVENTS THE CAR FROM BEING PUT INTO GEAR WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING DEPRESSED GETS STUCK AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO GEAR. THE CONSOLE MUST BE TAKEN OFF. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FROM 9/95-1/96 JUST AFTER I PURCHASED IT. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL I LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 3 DAYS. THEY REPLACED A CONTROL UNIT, WHICH DID NO GOOD. THEY REPLACED THE INHIBITOR SWITCH AND IT WAS FIXED. NOW, 3 YEARS LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN.
