Hi guys, I'm in need of a new clutch for my 94 Type RA import and was wondering if its common to need the flywheel replaceing aswell? Also does anybody know if the RA already has a lightweight flywheel

Thanks

 

Just got my Clutch change on my 98 sti, i changed the flywheel also, i was told they could file it down but it would b back the same in a month or 2 so it would b worth the money to just buy a new 1

 

I'd suggest the Exedy organic. Very good clutch indeed; much stronger than OEM AND nicer to use.

What to do with the Flywheel depends on its condition. Usually it's a good idea to get yours skimmed at the very least, as putting a new clutch on a rough flywheel will just mean you get judder and reduce the lifespan of the new clutch.

I don't think the RA comes with a lightened flywheel, but stand to be corrected.

Give David at APi a ring and tell him NS04 says hi!

 

As above, flywheel is not lightweight afaik. Either have it skimmed (around £20) or buy a new lightweight one (est £300) if you like the idea of that (have a search for pros and cons).

If a standard clutch is enough for you you can pick one up from motor fators for £120 (Boxed as Borg and Beck - made by Exedy), otherwise an uprated one is around £300.

Best place for an uprated Exedy is Alyn from AS Performance (aka stockcar).

 

Thanks for your help guys all is clear now
