    i had the same problem... was working FINE one day.. then BAM wouldn't work.. so i turned the car off put it in first.. started it up.. and worked fine for 3-4 more days.. then BAM started not working all over again.. had to have the clutch replaced...

    mechanic told me after replacing it that the "clutch plate" was completely "colapsed".. to be honest i don't know much about clutches and what not.. so i don't know exactly what that means.. but after the replacement car is running beautifully again.. (just got it back yesterday)

    I'm almost positive its not the flux capacitor..they are known by all to be indestructible.

    on a forester.. 750... 450 labor 250 parts.. (then like 41 in tax or something)..

    this was a local mechanic in copperhill tn.. i live in north ga...

    i coulda SAVED quite a bit on parts if i had the spare time to wait for standard shipping and i ordered/bought them myself..

    from what i was told.. doing a clutch on an awd vehicle is tougher so labor costs more..

    i had another mechanic quote me 1000 parts and labor.. so i figured the 750 was a good price.
