After being told that it is normal for subaru clutches to have clutch judder, and now out of my 60,000 warranty, i find that subaru has issued a tsb to fix the clutch judder problem. I feel this is a recall issue and i should get a warrantied repair of my clutch as should other subaru owners with this maufacturer's defect.*ak

It still has the same problem, but if i can't reproduce it for them they can't fix it. I have read other complaints from other forester…
