Mine was done a month after I bought my car. October 2006?

[alexGT]

perhaps they might be made in the states, large number of issues on NAISOC as well. let us know how you go dylan.

OEM subaru one looks very pretttttty.

sorry to hijack dylan, what clutch are you using in the 6'er?

[Dylan]

Hmm Alex, from a quick read on that thread they seem to speak of the OEM spec. Exedy ones being the noisy ones ?

I've run HD spec in my box now for 12 months and not broken anything, I am aware of the risks but I know what I want, and that's the HD kit. Obviously if there is a huge noise from an inferior clutch kit I will be disappointed.

[Soop]

Clutch wont break the gear box, noby using the pedal will...

[alexGT]

only difference is the pressure plate, with a higher clamping pressure the clutch disc is the same.

OEM has nicer feel than HD aswell, but if HD is what you want then theres not much changin you mind haha.

was just incase you were thinking it was req'd for 200kw + as mine is still on the OEM clutch after 147k with 15k being with non-stock turbo (200++)

[Soop]

Are the standard clutches really that bad?

Well found the problem. I don't think I need to explain what happened:

[Alex]

8/10

impressive

[Dylan]

Hah, woohoo. I honestly thought the box would die before the clutch!!

[Alex]

Me too!


Got me paranoid about my clutch now.

I've noticed that it gets "unhappy" a little more often now...

Like driving in traffic for a couple of hours, and the pedal starts to feel funny.... like it looses its feel.

I think mine is starting to collect some hotspots.

6 speed and 7k sidesteps should remedy this.

[Scott]

wow

atleast your gbox should still be all good

that clutch doesnt look like it got much meat on it for only 10k

[RX25SE]

Nice one Dylan.

Must have making a hell of a noise!

Better this than the box. Have you been floggin' it?? (I mean the car)

[Dylan]

Hahaha, yep. That clutch had a very very hard life. I won't deny it.

I did quite a few hard launches on that, plus a skid pan day. Well, quite a few may not accurately sum it up, but yeah, I am very surprised the clutch gave out before the gearbox.

All is well though, the big fish is hooking me up with Exedy OEM spec. replacement which might go 10,000k's if I am lucky !

[Jock]

I know what happened. Goats got to the clutch.

[Alex]

Soak the clutch plate and the pressure plate overnight in phở.

I did.





the more i soaked it, the better it came up.



it now looks like this:



even this girl is admiring how awesome my clutch is now.

[alexGT]

just FYI this is a Subaru Genuine part with its part number stamped on it.


so exedy calling theirs an OEM replacement is a bit of BS as you can see that the OEM has dual springs.

got some photos of the pressure plate by any chance???

[Dylan]

Interesting. I don't have any pictures of the pressure plate now, but it's in the car so I will snap some of it a bit later on today and let you know.

Interesting about that difference of clutch plate, wonder what the hell it is then?

[Soop]

Dylan, how the fork do you manage this random shit?
You're good at destroying things in ridiculous ways!

[Dylan]

Hahahaha, wait till I put up pictures of my starter motor. It just fell apart the other day when I unbolted it. Rediculous.
