At first I thought my foot slipped but its defiantly starting to slip at high revs.
I'm hoping to get as long as possible out of it as I'm thinking while the engine is out I should get a few.other things done, Parallel fuel rails for one.

I'd like a 7kg flywheel as its for daily use with endless stop start so don't it stalling all over the place. I'd also like a clutch with 6 springs over 4 after seeing the exedy video.

Are these 2 items correct for my jdm 2005 hawkeye?


Ill happily buy a packaged deal from any supplier but still want 7kg & 6 spring clutch.

 

You don't need the engine out to do the rails. I'd change out the flywheel for a more reputable brand. Competition do one for less than 400 at that weight, have one in mine with a stage 4 clutch, bit of an on/off button but works well and feels good

 

you need 6 speed pull type clutch

plus act 7.1kg flywheel for 370 quid

 

is there a cheaper one

 

i had pink in the past,fitted by scoobyworx , never again, oem flywheel is fine, You do not need 7kg one, Competition clutch and flywheel could be 2nd option

 

I don't remove the engine to do the clutch?!?

Drive shafts off, prop off, down pipe etc. 'Box drops down from underneath! Engine stays where it is.

 

As above, engine stays in place as a rule, but I have heard of some doing it engine out, would have thought that was more work though?

 

id prefer them to do it from below but not knowing who I'll use to do it means I don't know the way they work.

Unless one of you lovely soles would like to do it 😘

 

What part of the world are you in?

 

Milton Keynes.

 

Ah a bit of a stretch for me so I can't recommend anyone for you, i'm in South Wales, but I am sure someone will be along with a recommendation.

 

Speak with TDR, not too far from you and Mark is honest.

 

If doing it at home without a lift and gearbox jack engine out must be 10x easier, surely?

Even fitting a box to an empty chassis at home was a PITA, let alone trying to get it to mate up with an engine at the same time 😰

with a proper lift, probably a different story

 

I intend paying someone.

 

I know someone that changed theirs on the drive themselves, but they chose engine out to do it, much easier if you don't have a lift.

 

Dunno where he's based and ain't sure if he's still in the mobile game but Tim Farmer always had a very good reputation in the Subaru world, travels to your home and does the job on the drive.

 

Just stick with OEM clutch and have your flywheel skimmed. OE setup is more than capable for 400lbft.

 

I have to agree with the above as well, unless you are planning big power, the stage 1 clutch is a ball ache to live with as a daily by all accounts. A mate of mine has an 04 WRX and went stage 1 and he wishes he never did, he is even thinking about swapping it back out as he is a mechanic and he doesn't have to pay for the labour.

 

have used and supplied various Exedy products for years and never really have any issues apart from the very early 5spd uprated kits which were notorious for transmission vibration..........
the 6spd in particular doesn't tend to have these issues and both the std factory fit style and the lightly uprated 'pink box' are easily capable of being used in "daily's"

 

seen lateral performance has pink on offer -370 quid

 

or this, not sure how much flywheel weights, think i will go with 7kg one like You

I have a stage 4 cc in mine, its not that bad to be honest, just have to make sure you have some revs when you set off and it's smooth sailing, hell the Mrs can manage it and she's weak af

 

Thank you all for your input, it's appreciated.

I'm of the mind set of when replacing something replace it with the option to go big power if required.

If I'm paying out to have a clutch fitted u may as well upgrade the flywheel so that if I want, or future owners want to chase power it's another thing that's already done.

I'm considering the exedy clutch and flywheel package (4 spring) as I think it'll be easier to source from one shop but it's all about saving as much £££ as I can while upgrading.

Euros look like the cheapest option but its ensuring I buy the correct package.

 

have You link to euro clutch? when i put 05 sti reg they claim there is no clutch in stock for it
pink is rated to 320-330lb ft
cg motorsport 380 lb ft
cc stage 2 not sure 500 but it is kevlar not really good
act sb10 hdss m1 over 520 lb ft - need to use oem subaru pilot bearing
xtreme clutch stage 1 420 lb ft - to expensive
for me 2nd if comes with 7kg flywheel or act- 200 quid price difference
could be tempted with pink from euro for £330 if true + flywheel costs
otherwise price will be similar to 2nd option

 

6spd 'pink box' will cope with far more than early 300ft/lbs of torque?? even std 2.5's make that sort of figure.............

be amazed if Euro's or Lateral offer the best pricing.......

 

You should be talking to that guy ^^ (stockcar), did me a good deal on mine, beat every price out there.

 

any of them will cope above their rates question is for how long when You put over 400lbft on it, looking how much You have to pay for fitting it could be worth to go with act package
could You dm me price for SB10-HDSS m1 with streetlite flywheel?
