C'mon guys don't feed the trolls. The thread had returned to an informative one without the attention whores stirring the pot between oil changes/car washes.

I'm happy that there haven't been any denials in your region (that you know of, though I'm curious how you would know that for a fact).
But there have been denials, so your earlier blanket statement was wrong and still is wrong.
It isn't a blanket statement really. 10 dealers report to the same district rep that approves or denies these claims. If he's fixing one car out of warranty he's fixing them all. As I have stated that is if that is the actual diagnosed problem. Considering my dealer and another dealer an hour away are in the top 25 largest dealers in the us and up there for largest on the east coast I'd say we've seen more then the average sized Subaru dealer.

I know my "region" (i.e. the people that are active in our local group) is 3 for 5 for 08-09 MT Imprezas having the clutch bracket fail, but that's a pretty small sample size.
Well someone went through and quoted a handful of people who said theirs were verified and fixed. Being generous would say 10-12 people? Others had other parts replaced therefore not having the failure. Pretty far from the 95% that the brainiac armyofhorriblemath claims.

Right....there are only a couple of people in this thread "in the know" and you clearly aren't one of them or even own a vehicle with this issue.

What have you don't Subaru related today? Drive your car? Post on a Subaru message board? I worked on an 08' Tribeca with a 4 and 6 misfire, diaged it, removed the engine, replaced exhaust valves, lapped the valves, put engine back in and shipped it. I did however have drain the oil and refill it so yeah I guess I technically did an oil change today.

Out of curiosity, what are the other parts that have been involved? I've still got a noise (different from the initial cracked weld noise), but I know my welds are fine now. Noise still bothers me, though, and I'd like to eventually fix it.

Throw out bearing, pressure plate. Pedal box pivot sometimes can make noise. Really depends. It's not really difficult to find a noise, just gotta get someone to take a listen.

If you're hearing a whistling sound when depressing the clutch pedal, it could possibly be the throw-out bearing.

Haven't read all 16 pages because of all the crap some ppl have been saying. Can someone actually resume the truth about this story? Have some ppl got their car repaired under warranty? Is there some kind of "recall" that we haven't heard of? (In Canada, recalls actually are not the same as the US) What about the throw out bearing? Is it a factory issue that is affecting lots of owners?

My car ('10 WRX) has 70 000 km (43k miles) and I did not experience the clutch welds issue (yet). However, I have the throwout bearing noise issue especially when the car is cold. Is that another common issue? Bad bearing from the factory?

No, supraru is the truth that no one wants to hear because all people wanna do is point fingers and over react to noises that don't have anything to do with the firewall issue. I apologize if my truth makes people mad that they can't blame someone else and get stuff fixed for free.

Yeap. There's an echo with an actual description of the sound that the OP may be experiencing.

I've owned my car since it was brand new off the lot and have had to take my car in 3 times for the throw-out bearing and twice for a clutch replacement due to premature clutch wear as a result.

From your hurt response it's obvious you resemble who i'm talking about.
You're right, other than posting and being quoted about my repair numerous times I have no business posting in this thread.

But yeah in between your oh so important jobs you seem to need to prove yourself on the internet posting about an issue you don't have nor have you offered anything but childish arguments about that have made the thread a portrait of your insecure ego? but I digress i've fed the troll too...

Since the threads turned into mostly a cry for attention, ill repeat that mine as well as others have been repaired outside of warranty as well.

Try reading the post above yours when you said that. I already said that plus another couple possibilities.....good job.

It's funny because because I'm right about this your last resort is to try to bust on my skill set as a mechanic. A guy who can probably barely change a flat tire. Rofl. Don't talk to me about fixing cars.

I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I just state what I see. I have still yet to hear from army of case about his 95% bet. Sounds like he's just a lame smelly vagina.

I'm curious. If you have a master cylinder brace installed, does it exaggerate or lessen the potential of this problem happening? Being that a MC brace lessens firewall flex.

I only bust on your "skill set " because you're so insecure about it. If you're not here to prove anything or flame people then try limiting your posts to things that can actually help people get their car repaired. That might mean no posting but at least you'll actually be helping the thread for a change.

All I've seen so far is more childish bitching and name calling about people's problems with their cars All you're proving is that you didn't get enough attention as a child.

It seems to be that it won't necessarily prevent the problem, but it does help for piece of mind. I did it just in case, and it does make the brakes feel much better anyway. I haven't personally seen any long term reviews on it yet.

If only the two front welds have come apart, is it possible to drill through and apply 2 very strong anchor type bolts to hold the sheet metal together? Or like a super powerful rivet?

Far from insecure about it. Just find it hilarious out of me posting the truth you throw lies out about me and yet I'm the immature one here. At least come here with some facts.

You keep posting after all your "don't feed the troll" campaigns and you make up lies. I think it's obvious which one here didn't get any attention as a child.

Can we all just leave Supraru alone. He's obviously trying to boost up his member status. Let's all see how long we can go without quoting, responding or mentioning him or his name from now on (Myself included).
