I have a '94 WRX import. 59k miles. The clutch is in need of replacement, and I would like to know whether to go for an uprated one, and what type.

Possibilities mentioned so far:

Standard WRX clutch - £320 + VAT
STi clutch 3 paddle
AP organic racing clutch

Can someone please advise me on the advantages and disadvantages of the options, and costs, and what you recommend.

Feel, durability, performance, cost, etc. What is important?

What is all this about paddles? :-)

Thanks


Piers

 

The AP organic is quite popular,as is the helix.

If you go for AP dont get the cerametallic(sp?),no good for normal use.

The paddle thing is the way the clutch is made,so a 3 paddle clutch has 3 bits that are similar to brake pads which bite in when you release the pedal.

I've got an AP one.. bites a little quicker but that could just be all in my head.. I dont know how long its gona last yet

 

I noticed the smell of burning clutch after negotiating a hill today.2nd gear and really booting it.No noticable slip - just the odour.
