importwarrior Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 well when things go wrong they go in 3's1st. accident in WRX tore front grill - bumper off the car.dont ask juts dumb on my part. 2nd. while that was getting fixed i drove the Quest. ran great until the slave cylinder took a dump.I understand it is old and lots and lots of miles. so no car for a few days because primary car is in shop. order parts they are out of stock and none at the ware house. Quest by far easy fix.no parts, no fix. 3rd. get subie back and drive it for one day and clutch takes a dump. after having the WRX looked at they find that the shift fork bent at the pivot ball.the shift fork is stamped steel from the looks of it. the clutch in the WRX was replaced about 14 months a go.ACT heavy duty with street disc. and it ran fine but maybetoo much for old shift fork with 168,000 miles on it.i will see this shift fork as tonight or tomorrow i will post apic if i can get one. I hope to be back on the road tomorrow night. Again Thanks for listenning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89PalermoSHP Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Have you deleted the air pump/air valve system for your WRX? Nothing to do with your issues but just curious if you ran into that pita problem yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Car is totally stock besides the radiator and clutch. i have been seeing codes for the TGV not working properly.Turbulance generation Valveit seems to be sticking and or not wokring properly. usually on cold mornings.i want to get rid of them but see mixed reviews of deleting them. not sure what to do.

jszucs Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yeah can't hate to much on the fork with that kind of miles, and a non stock clutch behind it. My girls subies have been bullet proff and easy as pie to work on. Got to love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 ^ He knows. Blobeyes are the best looking next to the Hawkeyes (06-07) in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstieg Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 yikes. I'm not surprised a cheaply stamped not cast fork wouldn't hold up to the inc force of an ACT. Sorry to hear of the string of bad luck. It'll turn around & you'll remember this at a time when all is falling into place at once instead!
