problem #1

Nov 302003

Baja 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 600 miles
Clutch shudder/judder: Cool, cold and/or high humidity clutch shakes driveline & entire car. Duly documented on the ultimate Subaru message board on the internet. Some models covered by manufacturer for parts and labor but many seem to have the same problem after new clutch is installed. Seems to be the only manufacturer that has this problem with an otherwise outstanding car.
