Go to a dealer & they'll rip you off as they'll charge you £600.00 + (inc fitting).

If you're willing to drive to near Horsham then i'll give you a number of a scooby specialist who does a very decent price.

Mail me.

Bit far for me mate, from South Wales but thanks for the reply, £600 is worrying me badly though.

I had an STI clutch fitted in my UK for £300.00 (inc parts & labour) :)

Sound any better now ;)

From a dealer the clutch is about £350-£400 for a standard one & then the labour is 3-4hrs (at a guess) on top of that :eek:

Edited to say "Don't quote me on the price of the clutch." I've just heard of it costing £600.00 or more at a dealer to fit.

I'm sure someone will confirm :)

Where can I get a standard clutch, or the STI one. I can get it fitted for about £150, is this reasonable?

I don't actually know where you get a Subaru cluch other than from a dealer but I know that Mark Aigen (lateral performance) sells the daddy of all clutches for about £450.00 & apparently it's bulletproof :). Other options are AP, Helix etc... That's if you want an uprated one?

£150.00 is pretty standard if they're quoting 3hrs labour. I think dealers are maybe a bit more.

Cheers mate for the quick replies and help.

LOL :D

SAMMYH has mail

Turkish1 give me a bell I may be able to help 07771767874

i wood recommend u go for an updated un like AP or the various other good uns as a lot of the cost, unless u have a special friend:p, is the fitting so u might as well spend a bit extra on the unit as it IMO will give much better performance for not a great deal more cash ;)
Si (+recently fitted AP organic jobbie, lightened flywheel & lightened wallet :eek:)

I am also looking for a new clutch for my STI Type R.

I got a price from Scoobysport for something like £760 inc VAT & fitting.

This was for a Helix organic clutch and also included - release bearing, exchanged re-machined flywheel, gearbox oil and also suggested replacing the thrust bearing while I was having the clutch replaced. The above price includes fitting.

I don't really think its worth going for a standard clutch as my car is running 319Bhp and from reading posts on here you can still get the "Scooby clutch judder" after a very short period of the clutch being replaced.

I know Scoobysport is a long way from you but should give you some idea on price.

same 4 me i think scoobymania (as i recall althou me memory sux) were cheaper on the price of clutch but didnt have any in stock when i needed so went to TSL & AP racing organic clutch + lightened flywheel + STi release bearing etc + fitting was £800 & it is boss even thou i dont have OTT power it is nice to be able to stick right foot down & side step clutch without risk of slippy clutch :D Not that i wood ever do such a thing ;)
Si (bring on santa pod :p)

Cheers all for your veiws, help and replies but have just bought one earlier today and am having it fitted asap.

Maffa, just to point out that when dad worked for the dealership it was about £1200 (think it was around £1180) for a fitting of a clutch. THat was the cost of the clutch, fitting and new flywheel. It was such a joke but loads of people used to pay it!!

Find out a good place and ask about before you go. You can get a clutch fitted nice and easily for £400 if not less. Just find out! So may cowboys near here have quoted £300, sh*t themselves when doing it, buggered it up and the customer ended going to the dealership and then paying another grand to get it fixed!

Not saying everyone is a cowboy, just make sure you find out someone who has used them before :D

Mate i've got my mechanic. He's a Subaru specialist & he's an absolute diamond ;) Wouldn't dream of going to a cowboy or even a dealer...can't tell the difference anyway :D:D:D
