Legacy L 2.5L

  • Manual transmission
  • 170,000 miles

Can't complain too much. Purchased the car knowing it had a failing input shaft bearing. Just posting as a lookout for others. Car made a grinding sound in neutral while clutch engaged. With the clutch disengaged the noise went away. Noticeable grinding/whine in all gears, louder under acceleration. Replacing this on my own should only cost a couple hundred dollars with new seals and fluid. Expect upwards of $2500 or more if you take the car to a repair shop.
