Great video, when the bleed is done and the clutch is popped back up, is the clutch firm again (doesn’t stick to the floor) as long as the bleeder is closed?
Once you have completed the bleeding process and closed the bleeder, the pedal has to be firm, if it feels spongy repeat the process of bleeding, if it loses pressure or the clutch pedal does not disengage the clutch checks for leaks at the master or slave cylinder, or make sure no air is getting into the system while bleeding.
My grandson has a 2019 Subaru WRX, I drove it last week. I really had a hard time pushing down the clutch pedal. Is this normal? Thanks....Jim PS......once I got going I had no problems.
Hi Jim, its normal on a Subaru especially on a WRX or STI to have a heavier clutch, however it should not be hard to push unless this has been upgraded to a performance clutch or similar.
@@AutoBuddynz Even if it still drives pretty good? its only noticeably stiffer in bumber to bumper overheating type traffic. though i do notice it doesent releasing the clutch, seems to not want to let go.. car has 225k on the engine witha fresh-ish sti swap. took it to the track weekend and ran amazing.
@@FizuhcuL More than likely it sounds like an issue with the release bearing, however with all the labour involved it makes sense to replace the complete clutch kit and get the flywheel machined at the same time. As long as you have tried bleeding the system, adjusting the freeplay etc which it sounds like you have then my suggestion would be above

So maybe that's what i did wrong, mine goes down but not all the way up (only did today) will re do again

Thank you so much! Was actually looking for this 😀
No problem! Thanks for the comment.
How many times did it take to keep the pedal from sticking to the floor when opening the bleed screw?
Normally between 3 - 5 times it should build pressure.
my sti clutch gets stiffer once the car gets hotter thinking it may need to be bled the pedal itself seems to loose the top play aswell
@@FizuhcuL Try bleeding and adjusting the freeplay on the pedal this is important
@@AutoBuddynz i did it helped a bit noticed under high temps it gets stiffer still though
@@FizuhcuL Sounds like you will need a new clutch kit. Issue will be either with the release bearing or pressure plate

Does this work with a forester
Yes it will, depending on the model. If its an STI forester its pretty much the same as seen in the video.
Lol just never lists the tools required thanks
Thanks for pointing it out, will update it soon
