Which clutch?
Right, i'm after an uprated clutch and flywheel for my 98 v4 sti type r standard 5 speed box with dccd. But after reading a post on snet about someone possibly being sold the wrong clutch for a six speed i would like to know what year range/version impreza clutch/flywheel i could fit to mine without a problem as i have seen a few for sale but now a bit cautious about buying because it may be wrong.
cheers,
James.

Can fit either 225 or 230 just fitted an exedy and its sweet think the 6 speed clutch is 240mm
if you go for a lightweight flywheel dont go too mad on the weight with going too light

what sort of power you running / aiming for as that makes a difference and is it used everyday or just trackdays and weekends ?

I think you don't really wanna go below 7-9kg on the flywheel for everyday road use.
Yeah the 5-sp is a 225 (OEM size) or 230mm. If you get API's modified road-use-friendly Exedy Organic, you'll be guaranteed a pukka quality item that won't break up (like a cheap eBay price-driven special might). Also, I think it's rated to 400bhp/400lb ft., so if you want more power/torque, you'll need to look elsewhere...

Dont buy a pink box exedy, they judder real bad.
Both me and a mate have them bought from different sources and they judder the same.
I'm sure its a material issue.

i had no problems with the exedy supplied and fitted at API, i also did a flywheel exchange for one of their lighter ones and it improved acceleration. the flywheel was 7kg, i had no issues on my classic. my brother has a 6kg flywheel with his exedy clutch and his judders

Funny how people claim to have judder on an APi clutch on a forum, but almost NEVER call me to talk about it..................
We have recently changed ONE for a slippage, once at a time when fully loaded and in 3rd gear. Never ever swapped one out under warranty before or since.

The clutch for your car is the 230 mm version. We don't keep the old 225 mm version 'cos the 230 fits straight in place of the old 225 - no mods - nothing, just straight on to the flywheel.
Yes, a flywheel weighing no less than about 6.5 Kg's is fine for every day road use. Much lighter than that can cause problems.
