Juddering pulling off
Sorry about the poor technical term btw......My 2000 uk spec turbo is doing this randomly,whether or not the engine is warmed up or cold. The whole car vibrates and i end up getting whiplash. It has just under 29k on the clock,has been very well looked after by its previous 1 owner from new so could it still be loose engine or gearbox mounts? Any other suggestions please? TIA

It's a common problem on classic shape impreza's. Common consensus is that a couple of hard launches sorts the problem, but it will come back over time.
For a complete cure, Subaru have been known to replace clutches under warranty - but try the first suggestion first.
Mine does it if I've been doing a lot of gentle driving over a period of time, i.e. no hard gearchanges, and I've just accepted it.

I never really drive the car hard,so maybe it is that,
I`ll be gutted if it does need a new clutch though.....Will car still be under warranty?Will get the mounts checked out first of all i guess then before flapping it about a new clutch! Thanks guys

Just got back from the mad mechanic`s.....We went for a drive,although i did tell him it`s only when i pull off the juddering occurs,he said that because he didn`t witness it,there`s nothing he can do.....He didn`t check anything anywhere(was more concerned about how much my hair had grown
) Said it may be a problem with the engine and if i left my car with him he would try it in the morning!!!Different garage?!

Just dump the clutch one time once its warm and next morning see if its changed. If no change maybe it is something else if its better or less judder thats probably what it is.
Like I say, mines a PITA in the mornings, especially when I use it during the winter. Judders like mad. To an extent they will all do it.

There will deffo be a problem somewhere. Power transfer should never be 'juddery', harsh maybe with an uprated clutch. Don't just live with it. I'm sure Subaru didn't make their cars with fooked clutches! Find another garage that is prepared to have a proper look. Don't listen to the mechanic's "oh, its a subaru <head scratch>" story. A subaru is just another car.
