| Aug 2016172000 miUS $185 | Complete clutch job. The clutch disc looked great and could have easily gone another 200k. It was the throw out bearing that was beginning to give that telltale raspy whisper. The bearing looked like it had 170k on it. | ||

| Mar 20211057000 mi | I replaced the Crosstrek engine at around 675,000 miles because of a burnt valve and increasing oil usage. Earlier this year, after 3 transmissions, I decided to swap the 5 speed manual with a 6 speed manual from a 2018 Crosstrek. The only issue I had with the original 5 speed is that I spend 85% of my time in 5th and it just kept wearing out 5th gear [ed: after about 300,000 miles] because of a design issue. The 6 speed is a much better fit for that car. | ||
