Q: How Do You Access and Inspect the Clutch Disc,Clutch Fork,Pressure Plate and Release Bearing on Subaru Forester?
A: To access the clutch, remove the transaxle, leaving the engine in the vehicle. Check the flywheel and pressure plate for marks, and loosen the bolts. Inspect the clutch disc lining, flywheel, machined surfaces, diaphragm spring fingers, and the Pilot Bearing for wear and damage. Clean the flywheel and pressure plate with brake cleaner, position the clutch disc and pressure plate against the flywheel, center the disc, and tighten the bolts. Lubricate the release bearing, install it, and reinstall the transaxle and other components.
