HELP.. Clutch for my classic WRX as current 1 going I think..
 
Hi, my clutch has been slipping for the last few weeks as the bite from stationary does not feel right. Does this mean I need a new clutch?? or can it be repaired? If I do need a new clutch how many hours work is it for a garage and is it an easy job for most mechanics? :freak3:

easy job when you know how. i did my on my own the other week, only had someone to help lift the box. but is easier than most gearbox out jobs.

i would say a garage would have you up the back pipe.

£depends on what clutch you want and how you drive.

Well ive seen an exedy aftermarket clutch kit one on ebay for around £120- £150, my car is standard so im sure that it would be more than sufficient right??? I am planning on taking it to the subaru specalist (rowleys performance engineering) so how long would you expect it would take them just so i know in my mind so I can put a pric eon it.. (pretty skint see)...

Be careful, there are a lot of copy Exedy's around on tinternet and Exedy are now sending out bulletins about how to identify them. So that no one gets a nasty surprise when they send it back under guarantee with a judder, only to find out it is a Chinese copy.

I have a proper standard genuine Exedy with a proper warranty for you at £180.00 +VAT. Many people on here use them and I can genuinely say, we have never changed one under warranty YET. Not even had a claim either.

Call if I can help, we fit too if that helps.

There was a thread a while ago when I was looking for a replacement & a guy had been running 300/300 for a couple of years on the standard exedy 225mm but guess it all depends how you drive & if you've got the pockets for the exedy 230mm

mr_D 29 September 2009 12:06 AM

well im around 350 at moment and plan to go to maybe 400 soon. so looking for the right one

Hi I'm also looking to replace my clutch. Running 337bhp. Can anyone advise on pro's & cons of fitting an uprated clutch. Does it feel heavier on the foot?

Not looking at increasing the power but do like to put my foot down a bit when diving and looking at the ocasional track day. Thanks
