5 Spd Manual. Repaired 3rd and 4th gear. Needed synchros and other parts. Did the clutch while we were in there. |
172000 mi US $185 |
Complete clutch job. The clutch disc looked great and could have easily gone another 200k. It was the throw out bearing that was beginning to give that telltale raspy whisper. The bearing looked like it had 170k on it. |

Started to get the telltale click, click, click of a worn cv joint on the front right cv axle. Pulled and replaced complete axle. |

1057000 mi | I replaced the Crosstrek engine at around 675,000 miles because of a burnt valve and increasing oil usage. Earlier this year, after 3 transmissions, I decided to swap the 5 speed manual with a 6 speed manual from a 2018 Crosstrek. The only issue I had with the original 5 speed is that I spend 85% of my time in 5th and it just kept wearing out 5th gear [ed: after about 300,000 miles] because of a design issue. The 6 speed is a much better fit for that car. |
97000 mi US $100 |
Noticed a hum/whistle only in 5th gear, particularly between 45-50 mph. Dealer replaced 5th gear assembly under extended warranty. Gears were slightly worn creating the hum. |

Left front axle began making loud metallic ticking noise - had been ticking softly occasionally for a month. Replaced left front axle assembly. |
120000 mi US $500 |
Right front axle was making a tapping noise only when accelerating , and turning to the right ... Upon inspection was revealed the axle joints were damaged. Since I travel 150 miles a day and this has been going on since the last scheduled oil change ( ~6 weeks ~6K ) took the hit to have the component replaced ( not very happy & am beginning to question Subaru's reliability, since this is the 2nd repair this year..( so far) , hoping this is it for the balance of the year.. |
