Even Bearing suppliers sells them 1/4 of the price.
I bought ours MY07 Liberty for $308 as timing kit (belt, idlers, tensioner and seals) from Subaru Hobart (You need to speak to the manager at the dept there mention me - Tristan from Melbourne recommend him he will look after you)

Taz.. the clutch pedal might feel still the same, but what you'll need to check is the 'travel' that the clutch fork is moving. You might have a very slight internal leak in you master cylinder.

I have fueled up 4 tanks since this has happened and that has changed nothing. It does it at all revs, including idle. I haven't checked the fuel pressure... I haven't checked the timing belt, but I thought that it could be possible that it has stretched and jumped a tooth... It is way over due but...

Changed the oil and didn't change anything...hmm.. Have you checked the clutch cable or clutch assembly section - even cable is not sticky? Was it like that after rebuild or it gotten worse over the time since rebuild? linkages cannot fail because they have split pins in them unless they break with ...

Wont be related - MAP/MAF sensor?

So much info ! Thanks guys. I have just received a reply from Cross **** for the lift kit ,which is a good price. So my idea would be to install the CBP 2" lift kit and getting some heavier grade of springs for the sagging issue which I have noticed with all my camera gear loaded or even when we go...

To answer your questions above: Turbo Gearbox behind EJ22 - You use the turbo clutch. The gearbox will be hydraulic and EJ22 gearbox will be pull clutch. Tailshaft - different length between automatic/manuals (I think the spline is the same) Diff - You need to check, Gen1 normally has 4.11 in automa...

Put a "cap" (not cup) full of brake fluid in the reservoir, this will make the seals swell and usually stops leaks for quite a while, drive the car for a while after/if you do it. I second that - Ive done that in a few cars and it does help. Normally its a cap of fluid from the bottle's lid, or sam...
