AUSTRALIA
Can anyone tell me please if there is any such thing as a TSB (does this
mean Technical Service Bulletin??? ) for Subaru AUSTRALIA relating to
the common clutch shudder problem???  I particularly want to know where

Just drove my brand spanking new '05 Forester home today.  When I parked,
before turning off the engine, I sat there just soaking it in.  And I
noticed that when idling, the idle has a pattern in which it goes up, then
back down, then up, then back down.  All by itself.

I've got 165k miles on my impreza and the clutch is on it's last legs. Does
anyone have an estimate on the cost of replacing the clutch either at a
dealership or a  local repair shop ?

A few weeks ago my brothers '01 Impreza had a dead battery. After
recharging and driving the battery failed again. Today after replacing
the battery I heard a constant clicking coming from behind the fuse
panel. After feeling around, the source of the clicking was determined

I own a 1997 OBW with 70K miles that has an intermittent starting
problem.  On three different occasions, when the key was turned the
first or second time, you would hear one click but no start and no other
clicks.  When turned again, the car would start.  This has occurred

4 questions about the tires on a Subaru Forester; mine happens to be a 2004
XT.
   1) How fast can you drive with the full-size spare tire?
   2) How many miles have Forester owners been getting out of their initial

I'm posting this for my wife's coworker who has a 95 Legacy Wagon RHD
mail vehicle with 130k miles and a blown auto trans. He had the trans
replaced by Subaru at 90k miles. One thought about why would this
trans go out 40 k miles later is that maybe it was a rebuilt unit. He

Just finished a 5000 km trip in a 2005 auto OBW with a lot of time on
freeways at 75 mph.
When using cruise control at high speeds (75-80  mph) and a moderate
hill is encountered forcing the auto to change down to 3rd, it often

Two questions:
1-Is there an "over-the-counter", if you will, product that can be bought at an
auto supply store that is the same as the Subaru "Cooling System Conditioner" ?
2-What should be used to removed those stick-on bumper protectors?

I have a 2004 Outback 3.0 and as the weather is turning colder, I was
wondering if I need snow tires. I live in Western Massachusetts and travel
up to Vermont on a regular nasis in the winter. My thought is that I do,
because with every other car I have gotten them, but I was ...

About 15,000 miles ago, I replaced the original tires on my 2001
Forester with Yokohama Avid Tourings.  I've been pleased with their
ride, particularly on wet roads.  But lately I've noticed a distinct
humming sound from the tires that I don't think was there before.  A

For some strange reason the headlights on my 97 legacy GTB only last a
couple of months max before they blow, I have checked the earthings and they
all seem fine and have had the alternator checked out also. I thought this
may be something subaru specific that someone else has ...

I am looking for a pre-oil system for my '04 2.5L OBW. This system
would prelube the cylindering, bearing, and seals before the engine is
started. Calls to my local auto shops, NAPA, Autozone, and Fisher
resulted in lots of confused service reps. After doing an Internet
