is the clutch on a MY93WRX the same as the UK version? Mine is starting to slip now and then, especially after sitting in a traffic jam.

You want to check out places like www.scoobymania.co.uk and the likes who do aftermarket clutches (AP and Helix) which are around the same cost as the standard item but considerably better quality.

i used a bluprint the last time i got it changed, around £150.

i have got a AP RACING one to go in as i expected the blueprint to give up running the power and torque i am now, but its still going strong!

around £150 to change it would be fair

The OEM Subaru clutch would have been £720 to be fitted by my very reasonably priced Subaru dealer to my 99MY. As the engine was out anyway under warranty they let me off the labour cost so it was £300 for the parts.

Don't delay speak to API in Leamington......

Been right down this route and they are by far the best priced bar None........Mine is there this week.

AP Organic, STi release etc etc etc..... just a smidge over £500.00 + VAT fitted.

Only extra is £30 for a fly wheel skim if needed.

01926 614522 API
