hey all, just had my clutch done yesterday, exedy stage one and competition clutch lightened flywheel. garage said that judder would be there till they have matched together, is it likely to go away? and also on incline starts the clutch smells,
is this normal and going to go away?
cheers, shawn.

 

They all seem to judder to some degree............

Get used to it

 

big difference from the standard one, its the smell i am more wanting to get rid of, how long/manymiles for bedding in?
cheers

 

I've done about 3k, not much has changed tbh.

The only way to stop it juddering is to get the clutch hot, I guess it cleans the pickup off the flywheel for a while, Not really a cure though as it reverts back after a day or so.

 

Couple of hard launches should clear the crap off, and helps with judder.

Dont think there is a bedding in period

 

The exedy if it's not the APi version will judder and smell, especially in reverse, may I suggest a strong air-freshner?

 

I had the Pink 230 Exedy and it's not smelly or juddery The combo of the clutch and 6.3kg billet flywheel have made the deceleration much noisier though.

 

dont think it is, are the smells and juddering likely to go away? garage said so after a couple of hundred miles or so. that right?

 

The smell goes away to a point, the judder is there to stay...........

 

do you have to take the exhaust off to do the clutch? if so which parts?
cheers

 

Got the pink exedy version fitted roughly 400 miles ago and it still judders and the smell from the clutch is bad...2 air-freshners now........its also coming out again

 

are the pink exedy ones an upgrade on the oe ones then ? and do the oe ones judder and stink? need clutch soonish in my 02 sti so need to know whats what.

 

i have one of api exceedy uprated 400/400 clutch and i put standard reconed fly wheel in and it has not juddered once and it is taking 390bhp 370 ft spot on is this fly wheel brand new or old as that coulde why its juddering

 

brand new flywheel.

 

API clutch plate seemingly dont judder at all..............just the excedy stage 1....and the pink later version aswell

 

Thats not true, my mate has the API version and that judders. Although to a lesser degree than my pink box........

 

Any1- else got an API that judders...........

 

Yello i've fitted loads of exedy clutchs to imprezas and never had 1 judder I've always found the spigot bearing in the flywheel goosed which is the main coarse of the judder,so everyone 1 gets a spigot bearing replaced now with a new clutch and they only about £10

Nope, not that has appeared on this forum. As I keep saying 172 sport seems to be the only voice that the actual owner of the alleged juddering clutch speaks with.

The owner himself has never contacted me about a judder, or appeared on a forum or asked me to do anything about it.

If it is a genuine faulty clutch it could be changed under guarantee; given some simple certain conditions about use and abuse.

There is history there on that transaction and 172 is concerned only with stirring it up every chance he gets.

My standard 01 plate with 68000 miles judders very badly from cold but seems to cure itself after a few miles of warming up. I raised this on the site last week and I think the problem is just part of the design I'm afraid...

 

Simply not the case, I couldnt be bothered to stir.

Now stating the facts,

Which, If you care to pop down this way, you can do a back to back with a Aztec pink box version and your own branded version.

I'm sure conclusion will be, they both judder, with yours doing it to a lesser amount.

 

Exedy UK now do an uprated anti-judder friction plate, which we supply with 5 speed kits:

AZTEC PERFORMANCE ONLINE STORE - WHOLESALE PRICES DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC - Clutches & Lightweight Flywheels :: Subaru Impreza :: Exedy Uprated Organic Racing Clutch Kit - Pink Box - Anti-Judder - 5 Speed

The old/original Exedy uprated friction plate can judder.

 

I cant believe you guys can put up with a juddering clutch, Are these meant to be uprated versions I couldn't think of driving my scoob everyday with this happening it must take some of the shine off your car
Whats wrong with the O/E one? I have heard they can handle up to 360 torque

 

my oe one went at 300/300 and it had only just gone my exedy judders but mainly when changing down through the gears rather than up!

 

no mention of it being anti judder on the exedy website either just states clutch plate!

 

removed my exedy 2night after suffering 700miles of judder. did settle slightly but never 100 % and the smell from it was unreal.... hope my oe clutch can handle 420-380

 

mines been in 12months and about 15000miles judders like firk on down change unless you blip the throttle or are very agressive with the change , its the 4 paddle version and in that time has not been abused at all . it is now at the very top of the pedal and feels like it slips a bit under full load in 4th but only for a few seconds then bites and stops . sujestions please is it knackered or is it the clutch slave cylinder going lazy as has been sujested ??? it had a lightened and balanced refaced flywheel fitted at the same time

 

judder gone mate, maybe some one would like to comment on the exedy uprated clutchers. Since when as judder been an upgrade, there is def more people with exedy problems say 75-80%. Looks like my judder his here to stay

 

yes standard pressure plate and friction plate fitted and not a sign of judder anywhere......pleasure to drive again

 

I have a Exedy clutch, bought the car with it. Its about a year old. Car is never driven really hard, and i never rag it in first at all. Have not had any judder whatsoever. Also its my 4th Impreza, and all the previous ones had it.
