Subaru told me today that the TOB is
not covered under the powertrain warranty (I'm at 35k, but > 3 years). Called Subaru of America to see what they would do since this is a known issue with a TSB, etc... Case being investigated.
Get this : Dealer quoted me $2500 for the clutch job. Wanted me to authorize $750 for teardown now to get started. They apparently gave Subaru of America the $2500 quote as the work that needed to be done when they were contacted about my case to verify the problem. I don't feel they are helping me out any there...
From what I can tell - list price on everything would be about 780 (Flywheel, pressure plate, disk, TOB, clutch fork, pivot, 8 flywheel bolts, 6 pressure plate bolts, clutch fork spring, 2 TOB retainer clips) - How do they get $1700 in labor? #@&*!)$
Get all the parts from an online source and resurface the flywheel and it's closer to $400. Probably a little less if I get an exedy vs Subaru. Kind of doubt I need a clutch fork, but it's $20...
Called 2 local shops and they want about $800 in labor.
Happy Holidays!
