Should i change my clutch?
Original clutch is 41k miles/9 years old and i do like the odd 1/4 mile
When Rich last serviced my car, he said it was showing signs of wear, not slipping, but when driving off from a stand still as the clutch is nearing being fully released, the revs drop down more than usual
Now Aztec are doing a good price on the exedy pink box and today with an extra 10% off. So with the lightened flywheel the price is £557. Bargain
Now i only do 3000 miles a year, and have no near future plans for any drag days so i am undecided whether to go for it now or not. Last thing i would want to do is for the clutch to let go when im out and about though as said its not slipping yet so still has a bit of life left i guess

Mine done 79k so far and i also have a high bite clutch. No slips yet and been checked out ok, But i hear this is quite normal on impreza's and I've also heard even after a change they can still bite high.

Mine in the classic last over 80,000 on the original. Severe clutch judder but it never did slip.
In the JDM I got Rich to change it at 46k but when he took it off he said it still had plenty of life left in it.

I'm 57K in my STI - still the original one, and that has been a high bite for the last 5k - no slipping problems so far, so unless it starts slipping it stays as it is!
