    Anyone have a recommendation for a body/frame shop in Oakland or nearby in the East Bay? Neighbor ran into my parked truck and I'm looking to use the insurance money for a rear bumper upgrade. Would normally just get a DIY bolt-on, but since their insurance is paying I'd like to get some professional eyes on it and see if there's any hidden damage.

    @theesotericone @FirstTimeFirstGen @ian408 @Robmonster117 @nDub and @ whoever else wants to chime in.

    So, walk me through this a little bit. I'm just trying to wrap my head around this cutch stuff and you guys obviously know more than I do, because I'm a blank slate on manual transmissions.

    I'm looking through, to get an idea on parts. Looking at Sachs clutches at AutoZone (online). There are a bunch of different options for 08 Impreza Turbo AWD.
    I'm seeing
    Outer 8 7/8 inch,
    Outer 9 inch,
    Outer 8 1/2 inch...
    Inner 1 inch,
    Inner 7/8...
    optional oversized bearing and sleeve
    :violent:

    I'm assuming this is something I'll need to measure when I get in there? That's a bitch. Or is there a way to know what I'll need? Seriously, I have no fucking clue on this.

    Next question... I'm also looking at doing the slave cylinder, pilot bearing, release bearing, and possibly rear main seal while I'm in there. Is there something you think I need to add to this list?






    Yes, I know this hijacks a TW thread to Subaru. But I'm thinking people can learn things that can be applied to their Tacoma, from the conversation lol :thumbsup:

    See if you can find a Subaru parts website. Size you need may depend on providing the VIN number.

    Autozone part search is not going to be alot of help. Sounds like Subaru will have will have what you need. That list looks pretty complete. One other thing you might need is the spline clutch alignment key if the kit doesnt come with it. Another thing to inspect once you dive into it is if the flywheel needs resurfacing. My guess is it will be fine but its better to be sure

    Woke up and tried to make coffee. Well, when you work in the woods all week and aren't able to make sure there is coffee, your kinda handicapped.
    Glad there's a starbucks here still and only a minute and a half away.

    Oil change, spark plugs
    And ih yes have a new issue! Loss of throttle power which may have something to do with a poor brake bleed. I may have read something about this somewhere on TW?
    Ideas?..
