My friend leased a 2017 Subaru STi and it completely broken today.

>He was showing me how he can shift without putting the clutch in...
>guys why it's broken

>>17747439
Is that the sole reason the whole car shut down though? That's pretty much my question

>>17747412
>Lease car
>pay to replace parts
Pick one

your friend sounds like a genuine dick sucker

To be fair the dude seems like a fucking idiot. Given what that clutch probably has gone through, 5k miles is a blessing

>>17747412
Aaaaaannnndddd...This fucker right here folks is why you never, ever buy an performance shitbox used. Because 80% of the owners are fukbois.

I am now legitimately wondering what your bonus chromosome friend might have done to that poor car

>>17747412
Call the cops and tell them there's a mentally disabled fuccboi revving his snow blower

>>17747412
tell him to learn how to drive

bmw fag here

if ur clutch is fucked at 5k miles ur a jackass and should probably stick to automatic

manufacturer has little to do with it

also stay away from your friend. shitty driving technique can be contagious.

Can someone post that guy shifting the automatic corvette please?

>>17748036
someone post the guy driving the manual corvette where hes just awful at driving.

>>17748076
Please no. I don't want to see Isis gore videos today anon

>>17747771
Redline clutch dump launches every time he needs to set off from a stop?

I'm surprised his rear diff is still intact and AWD car with enough power and grip will happily slam the diff into the underside of the car if you don't shift smoothly. Can't imagine what happens if you launch all the time.

>>17748351
*an AWD car...

You mean "sawsage" fingers

your friend is literally a retarded person.

Are you serious? Who the fuck buys a car that powerful without knowing literally anything about driving or cars? Most people with a 1.2 l shitbox with a stick know more...

>>17747490
Damn. That's how to be a good human right there. And you're absolutely right the OPs friend is absolutely a fucking waste of air

>>17749079
not same anon but, fuck dude i know that feel.
grandmother gave me a manual truck she couldn't drive anymore when i had never driven manual before and my dad just told me i was on my own. now anytime he is in the car with me he just shit talks my use of the clutch.

T. I have no clue what floating gears are and why it's neither beneficial or harmful to do but I'll project my retardation anyway.

>>17749299
You're the retard.
You are assuming he was doing it perfectly every time.
Which he obviously wasn't.
You can destroy your transmission by doing it wrong

>>17749264
Import a GC. The body is usually not in the best shape, but the engine and drivetrain are usually well-taken care of.

Well your friend is a shit driver

Have owned a 944 Turbo and e36 M3, both with over 180k miles, and both on their original clutches.

>>17747521
2017 STI has a 6-Speed, nice try though.

>>17750265

Had a 2010 Toyota Matrix. Got it with 95k on it, put 3k on it, killed the throw out bearing. Replaced bearing, killed it again 3k miles later.

Had a 2004 Cavalier. Put 50k+ miles on it, had over 160k miles on it when I got rid of it, learned to drive stick in that car, never had any issues with the clutch. Was the original clutch as far as I know.

Some cars just have shit clutch designs.

This is the 5th post I've seen similar to this. The premise is always the same: someone buys a 2017 wrx, and then they do some dumb shit and all the anons proceed to shit on OP and subarus. I can't help but feel OP is an anti subaru shill, or some vapebro fucked his girl.

He was a foster dog. Found wandering the streets of Brooklyn age 10 and emaciated. Spent 6 months in the shelter and found a foster who was willing to take him home. He made it home and died peacefully in his sleep that night.
Look him up on susiesseniordogs ig. His name was baisley

Somewhat new to manuals. What was he doing wrong here? Other than being a typical 40 yr old car virgin that vettes market towards.
Did he have the clutch depressed, but still engaged, and then tried to floor it or what?

He basically was pushing the clutch in but not enough to bring it "out of gear" so the clutch was rubbing the diaphragm spring at several thousand RPM's for a long time without cooling or anything. The smoke is his clutch burning from the friction and wear.

If he let the clutch out a little more, the tires should start spinning relieving stress on the clutch.

>>17747474
Any damage caused by an owner throughout a lease has t be repaired. Even a Subaru won't shit out it's clutch at 5k miles... That's clearly owner caused wear.

>>17751312
You're an idiot. The factory clutch simply didn't have enough clamping force to engage with the driver's halfwit clutch control. He's not just sitting there with the pedal partially engaged.

>>17751376
Really? this doesn't seem to be an issue with mustang owners like those at cars and coffee, they just let the clutch out and it goes.

>>17747412
>subieshit

>>17751287
>triggered subaru fangirl
wew lad

>>17751384
If the mustang owner tried to slip the clutch half assed with to much RPM it would struggle to clamp. The secret to doing a static skid with a manual is moderate throttle, low brake pressure and a committed clutch dump.

>>17751401
I think you missed the joke about mustangs and burnouts at cars and coffee meetups

Vehicles with independent suspensions have the differentials fixed to the frame/sub frame already. So there is no "slamming" if it already is attached.

>>17751407
I didn't, that was an easy reference to pick up. Simply explaining in further detail why the post above was a complete misunderstanding of clutch operation.

*not a subaru owner
>always see boy racer subaru drivers, including grills
>The one thing all subaru manual drivers have in common is overreving and bucking the car on each shift
I am not suprised at all, all shitbaru drivers are like this. Oh and they love to press on the gas when put a blinker on.
From what i'm reading, your "friend" would toast an auto within a year.

For me its a set of rpm threshold, like under 2500 and above 3500, anything in between and my car bucks in any gear.

>>17749229
>white people

Floating gears fucks up your syncros, not your clutch. Syncros are much harder to replace tho.

>>17751416
>fixed

Its mounted with bushings that are more than happy to compress enough to transfer driveline shock into movement of the diff. The idea being that it's better to have the diff move a bit than to transfer that shock to the transmission. However if you shit like OP's friend there's probably no helping you.
