Is the 5sp manual transmission the same on the (2006) Turbo and non-Turbo Outback engines?
I have a 2006 Outback XT with 5 sp manual transmission and 73k miles. The clutch disintegrated and apparently chewed up the input shaft to the transmission. So I'm looking for a used transmission but am uncertain whether the transmission is the same on the Turbo and non-Turbo engines. (The new price is exactly the same at SubaruParts.com). Thanks for your help.
In case you are interested in the backgroud to the disintegration, I do pull a 1,200 lb sailboat and trailer to the marina each weekend and sometime take long trips with the boat. I also pull small powerboats in and out of the water fairly regularly. I also let other people use my car to pull those powerboats in and out of the water. Probably a mistake because I've smelled hot clutch material afterwards on occassion.
The clutch throw-out bearing (I believe) started making some noise. I didn't do anything about it. Then the clutch started shuddering a bit more than usual. It has always had a narrow slip point. Then one day driving home from work things got bad in a hurry. I was having problems shifting gears because I could not disengage the clutch (or is it engage?? I never know.). Then it went all the way to the floor and did not come back up.
