Hey guys my subie is making sum interesting noises, when i try to accelerate it feels like my clutch is slipping (revs but no speed) but at the same time I can hear sumthing that sounds like metal shavings in my gearbox, this has happened all of a sudden not slowly.... it may have been closly timed around launching the car, so im wondering have I most likly stuffed my box or the diff or the clutch or what?

I knew it was coming, but now that its happend i dont want to replace my gearbox to find my rear diff is rooted and vs versa

Cheers

Ben

sounds like the first thing to do would be to drain the gearbox oil and have a good look for chunks.

Since you've had it, have you checked gearbox fluid levels or changed it at all?

I was waiting for one of these threads

i have known the gbox was on its way out for the last week or so, to be honest im not THAT worried, they go for about 300 bucks on trademe and another 200 to install with integrity auto's down here.

Well if its the gearbox or the clutch you have to take the box off anyway, may as well do that and see whatsup dog

Sounds like you've blown a CV or halfshaft. Mate at work had same problem with his rwd WRX, even replaced his clutch before he realised that he'd broken a rear halfshaft.

I'd go with that as those early legacy's have open diffs so its just driving the easiest corner which happens to be the broken one.
