Thanks for the tips guys. I think I'll give OMA a call first as they have been rec'ed by a few people and are just over the hill from me.
I have some clutch judder issues with my MY03 WRX. Annoying the hell out of me as I do a city drive every day.

clutch judder is a common thing on a cold engine / gearbox and lower revs, mine does it too, well I think it does - it's been off the road for the past 4 months

From what I've been reading, it's possible to spend a lot of money tryinr to fix it and still have it no better, or return soon after. I'll just have to move further away from work to get a longer run

OMA is the only place to go for quality service....
Unfortunately...chances are the only fix for the clutch judder if it is bad, is likely to be a complete new clutch.

It got a new uprated clutch a year ago, so a bit soon for a new one!
I took it to Donegal at the weekend and it seems to be better when the car is hot. Can live with it at the moment.
BTW, can anyone recommend a good "safety device" for detecting radar/laser guns. I think if you drive from Belfast to Derry, you are guaranteed to pass van/unmarked car somewhere

Not all uprated clutches are the same. And if the flywheel wasnt resurfaced, or like new....you can get judder.
What type of clutch was fitted ? Did they resurface the flywheel when they did it ?
Exedy did have a few issues with a new material they used, which caused severe judder on their uprated clutches. Although that is now resolved with another new material.
As for the cameras..
There are only a handful of fixed cameras here anyway, so thats no big deal.
And with lasers etc....if you've spotted it with a detector, then chances are its also spotted you.
Dont know how good the radar stuff is...but any onces Ive seen in the past, detected more shopping centres than speed cameras.

It was the previous owner who had it fitted. I have the invoice but it only show supplier and Product code ADS73031C. I'll ring them and find out what that corresponds too.
I don't know if the flywheel was skimmed or not. I would suspect not. I think excessive city driving may have brought this on. If it gets worse I'll defo take it to OMA.

Part number is just a replacement Blueprint clutch. Perfectly good clutch, but totally standard.
It should really be pretty smooth assuming it was installed correctly ( ie, flywheel surface good )
You could try giving the clutch a little abuse, couple of biggish slips ( dont go mad ) and it might help things a bit.

Well, clutches arent cheap, although I'm sure others can get them cheaper than that.
But see here
Blueprint ADS Part Numbers CLUTCH KIT - ADS73031C :: £294.50 :: Blue Print Parts - ADL :: CLUTCH KIT ::
Also beware, as there are clutches out there, that claim to be quality brands like Exedy, but are clearly knock offs. Often sourced from places like ebay. So if places are selling them very cheap, be careful.
A proper performance Exedy, AP or Helix could be around £4-450, depending on type.
