2004 subaru baja turbo

[Legwagon]

a friend of mine recently got a 2004 Baja turbo......today he came to me asking about the E-brake being stuck.......it did smell a bit like brakes.. but as soon has he opened the hood you could smell it more....especially near and around the turbo???? anyone know if this is normal?

thanks

are you sure it not clutch or is a automatic

 

[Legwagon]

no it's a five speed...he gave me a ride in it today and there was a bit of stutter starting off in first.

Sounds like he's frying the clutch. Does it seem to slip when he gets on it?

 

[Legwagon]

he didnt really get on it today...just noticed a bit of shutter

E-brakes being stuck wont typically make brake smell under the hood... Sounds like hes learning to drive a clutch, and the turbos winning.

I thought all turbo bajas were slush boxes.
