Is the warranty from yourselves or Competition Clutch UK, i.e. Mike Marchant?

If there is a problem with the clutch being faulty/incorrect & Competition Clutch UK refuse to refund on warranty, will you still refund money back to customer?

In the unlikely event that your clutch is defective we'd send it back to the manufacturer for testing under warranty. If found to be defective it would of course be replaced or refunded, which ever is more convenient to the customer.

If the clutch is found not to be defective, then warranty will be refused. You would of course be within your right to have the unit independantly tested by an expert eslewhere to dispute the outcome.

I'm happy to say that we've NEVER had a reported faulty unit from Competition Clutch thus far and the feedback we've received from customers is no less than outstanding.

330bhp & 333ft Lb and no issues at all in my friends STi.

16 customers since mid September, some of them running closer 450bhp/Ft Lb on the road with no issues reported.

You shouldn't buy a clutch to suit a cars BHP output, buy a clutch to suit your driving style given consideration to the torque output at the flywheel... then rate it.

I put a competition clutch in my uk impreza wagon, cant fault it! Had it dyno tested when my ecu got uprated, It peaked at 312bhp! Jp4mance know there stuff, Can highly recomend them. Not the usuall nonsense you get from some traders, real honest advice.

they probally will be ok at the small end power but when you go over 350bhp 340ft then if you driving on a road and nto trakcing then you want an organice clucth that likes being load up on the motorway and these are not the ones

I wouldnt say 312bhp is small end power, granted it isnt 400+ like some people have, but then again, I havnt spent thousands on a rebuild! just modest amounts on an ecu, clutch, induction kit etc..
And as much as i like my car, a track seession in is NEVER gonna hapen, If i want to go ***** out on POWER I would have something a bit bigger than a 2 litre 4 pot! At least a 6 cylinders, and german. But i live in the real world where 312 bhp is ample for the comute and roads where i live!

But the point was about what clutch is being used, a modest upgrade, as what i have. The clutch is great, not heavy as some can be,as happydude303 is running 350+ well done him for knocking perfectly good clutches, that he may have never tried before. 'small end power'

There is a USDM Impreza STi, but they are 2.5L engines from 2004-2008. As far as i can tell they use the same 240mm drive plate as our 2.0 STi (6 speed), but i'm not 100% sure on the pressure plate.... wasn't there a cross over in 2004? Maybe someone can clarify this for us?

im not knocking the power i use to love my wrx when it was 280bhp then 320bhp then 350bhp now 390bhp but what has P$ssed me off is not this company but another company that sold me this cluth for my car and said they will take up to 400bhp and the ft to go with that ,these cluthes are good for upto 350bhp i used to have a blue print (copy) cluth all the way up to 350bhp with no problem and they can be purchased form any autofactors for a lot cheaper then 300.00 pond you can asked tritton on that it took all the stages of tunning right up to 350 bhp then when i put the old 20g on that was it,, ps i had one of these competion clucthes and it just could not handle the job horbile run in period and then slipped.

Come on guys,

we pay a respectable amount of money to advertise products in this particular part of the forum. If you want to slate off a product based on your personal experiences or personal opinions, i have no issue with that, but there are plenty of OTHER area's for it on the forum.

Dont get me wrong, i respect your opinions good or bad, but if your not looking to buy something or ask relevent, constructive questions which could be of some use to others then please, with the upmost respect, sod off and argue it out elsewhere

Thanks.

Why the confusion on 6 speed clutches -you are selling them here:
STAGE 2 COMPETITION CLUTCH SUBARU IMPREZA STi 2.5 Turbo on eBay (end time 24-Feb-10 15:54:06 GMT)

All 6 speed boxes use the 240mm plate but there is allegedly a beefier version put on the 2.5 engine.

I know they both use the same 240mm drive plate, but is the pressure plate the same as used by the 2.0 STi?

Please note: the six speed clutches in my experience will not work unless bought in conjunction with their CC Flywheel. It will not work on your std flywheel. I found out the hard way £300 of labour later, as Competitoion Clutch UK were not informed so by Competiton Clutch USA. I only found out after scouring the US forums & then CC UK/USA admitted the problem.

I've checked part numbers with other manufacturers such as ADL for the 6 speed GDB Impreza clutch kit. There are 2 part numbers from ADL: Pre July 2004 models, and July 2004>

I was asked to supply a Vin number to make sure they supply the correct P/N, and Comptition Clutch told me the same thing; check the VIN...

USA websites show the 240mm drive plate wrks with UK 2.0 STi models as well as the USDM 2.5L STi. So i can only assume it's the pressure plate that differs??

Any thought given to the releasse bearing? I have had it before with uprated clutches and flywheels, Where the bearing length is diferent, and the cable needs a spacer between the bulckheadand cable, reducing the length of cable at the clutch lever end, and giving it more movement??

Reliable sources suggest the 2.0 STi & the 2.5 STi 6 speed boxes use the same clutch kit, as also suggested by BUTTY above. This is true at least for the UK/JDM models.

Why did yours not fit? What is the difference between the 2 flywheels that caused fittment to differ?

The Competition Clutch is thicker in diameter to std Subaru oem & also uprated exedy clutches & hence will only work in conjunction with the Competition Clutch flywheel.(which I assume must be thinner) This is for a 6 Speed Clutch that I tried to fit in a JDM Hawkeye. This was confirmed by the not so helpful Mike Marchant of Competition Clutch UK.

Below is the thread which confirmed my findings & which I put to Competition Clutch UK who then admitted the problem.
