Red cars PWN me

Default

Name: Michael Wong

Make: 2002 WRX wagon

Mileage: approximately 41,000

Time Out Of Use: never

Problem And Likely Cause: clutch shudder (sound familiar)

Modifications: driveline related, none. I do have aftermarket wheels and tires. Edit: I did put Redline Oil in the both the tranny and rear dif. I used 75W90NS for the tranny and 75W90 in the rear dif. I don't see why using Redline Oil would cause Subaru to deny my warrantee if this ever got fixed. We'll see...

Submitted For Warranty Work (Yes/No): Not yet, I wanted to get my name in the list in case Subaru realizes they screwed up and decide to replace the clutches

Reason Given For Denial: None, yet

Your Story: Same as everyone else. My clutch shudders when I first start out. Once it's warm, it's fine. Doesn't matter if the weather is hot or cold. This only USED to do it when it was cold out. Now, it does it all the time. Hey Subaru, just admit it. You specced a less than ideal clutch. Replace it under warrantee and keep your customers. This is my first Subaru and maybe my last if this attitude keeps up.

edit: forgot I used Redline Oil
