With my Subaru 2.2 installation I had the same clutch installed. It lasted about 9 months. I (stupidly) had another of the same installed and by the time that 2.2 was taken out, I had to have a KEP Stage II put in, and that has been good for the last 3+ years. Both those LUK's lasted me just under a year or there abouts. > > > In any case, where should I look 1st? Does this sound like a clutch or > transaxle issue?

I would suggest checking your hydraulic fluid level in the dash gauge cluster, and do a bleed at the slave "just to be sure". It's more than likely that the newest part in that system is not the culprit, but that proved to NOT be true in my case example, above. I'm pretty sure that it is recommended to use a vacuum bleeder. The brake-bleed method apparently is not recommended, despite the Haynes manual say that it "doesn't matter". bob |
