Thanks.. I've yet to call SOA to resolve a problem and hopefully I don't have to go that far. Usually, from my experience, Subarus always cool about taking care of issues that I have. But this has been the biggest. If it comes down to it... I guess I'll have to call SOA.
My only other dilemma is that I'm at 30k and they're saying my warranty will be up at
33k. So I'm in a little battle to get this all figured out and hopefully not go over 33k so they won't give me any reasons to not warranty the issue. I got the gold plus warranty up to 80k and thought that would help it be covered but I guess not. I guess this clutch and bearing stuff is only covered until 33k?
Anyways, thanks for the help guys. Keep it coming. The insights good.
