2003 Outback high rev is this the clutch?
I had my oil changed and tires rotated last week. They overfilled the oil by at least a quart. I made them take some out and they did, though it is still at the notch on the stick. (above the full line)
This is a 2003 OUtback with 112000 miles. Manual transmission with all the bells and whistles...
I bought it in March and don't know the entire history on it but I am the 2nd owner...this is my first manual transition (other than many motorcycles) I've owned, though not the first I've driven.
My question;
I've searched the forum, but can't find much. Since the oil change, I've experienced a high rev situation between all the gears. The clutch seems to engage as it has since my purchase, but once in the gear, it revs way high, then settles out as speed is increased. I smell something like a burning oil smell when this happens soon before I stop, but not during driving. My AC also has quit output. I don't see any oil stains, the CV boots seem to be intact.....
The only thing I've ever found unusual is the difficult 1st gear. It is really tight ever since I bought it. Clutch throw and engagement seems normal, though much different (longer perhaps?) than a Toyota, Ford, or Chevy.
Is this related to the overfilled oil?
Is this clutch related?
Is this engine related?
Is this clutch master cylinder (or is that slave cylinder?) related?
Is this break related?
Is this an airline (senser) related?
Where should I start?
