Mine is not as bad as yours, but i do get the shudder every now and then, cleaning the release bearing as recommended and done by SubaruETA helped quite a bit, but you can still tell its not right. It might be enough to get you moving again while you source a new one though.

for anyone thats done this, mine not being a VR4, thus not 4wd, is there anything i dont need to do, obviously transferbox, but is the rest all the same, like removing cv joint etc?
cheers

Do I understand you correctly - you are going to fit a Transit exhaust pipe to your Galant at the same time that you are going to repair your gearbox? - and have a lot of exhaust piping left that you can use to fabricate some other custom made exhaust pipes (eg. for the type 3 VW)

Its ok, he also drives a VW fastback thingie, fumes have obviously addled his brain....

the backbox doesnt matter what the hell its from, a straight through box is a straight through box at the end of the day, its not having the whole exhaust of a transit put on, just the centre box......weve got a XR3i with a granada box on it, a vw transport/aa van with an fto centre section in it, an escort van with a few boxes missing.......it doesnt matter what the hell the exhaust is from at all, a rear box is a rear box at the end of the day.......and it will be done this weekend,....gearbox will be done soon, gotta be done before the end of the month, going to big bang which is at santapod, and get a qaurter mile time..........
and you couldnt use the pipe from the transit to on a fastback, or really any stock vw the bore of a flat four is tiny.......


but more importantly whats different between doing the clutch on aVR4 and non VR4, is there anything i dont have to take off?
