Clutch - Confirm Fitment Before Purchase Plese

So the clutch on my 06 LGT 5MT has been slipping at full throttle for a while now, and for the last two days there is a distinct burnt clutch stink when stopped at a light, even after very mild driving. I'm afraid it is going to quit any day now.

 

I figure I should replace the flywheel too. Since the dual-mass flywheel can't or shouldn't be resurfaced, I should plan on buying a new flywheel along with the clutch and pressure plate.

 

Since the dual-mass flywheel sucks, even for a daily driver, I should get an OEM single mass setup and be done with the crappy stock setup once and for all.

 

I'm under the impression that an OEM 07+ LGT flywheel and clutch or an OEM 06+ WRX flywheel and clutch are both single-mass and will work for me. Is that correct? Is one considered a better option for a daily driver?

 

I'm going to get the TSK snout cover or whatever too. Might as well do it properly if we're going to be in there. A fried from work and I should be able to do the job, hopefully over the course of one weekend.

 

Thanks.

your assumtions are correct. As long as you get both the clutch kit and the flywheel from the newer models you mentioned, they will fit fine.

Also, if I get the flywheel, disk, pressure plate, and TSK kit I should be good to go, right?

 

I don't need to get a pilot bearing, release bearing, release fork, or anything else do I?

the pilot bearing(if it does not come pre-installed in the FW) and release bearing should be replaced and installed as new items.

Very well. Thank you, whitetiger.

I found a post that claims the 07+ LGT flywheel and clutch setup is the exact same thing as the 06+ WRX setup, using the same parts.

 

Post #3 in this thread says the flywheels are the same part number : http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/dual-mass-flywheel-single-mass-flywheel-171570.html

 

Can anyone confirm this?

yes

definitely get the TSK3 Snout kit...big saver!

And the WRX flywheel bolts if you don't feel like dealing with the T50+ bits down the line.

 

Let me know if I can help save you a few $$$ on these parts.

Rick, just noticed the new vendor tag and sig. Congrats and best of luck!!!

I got my parts from Fred Beans. They are close by and I get regular UPS deliveries the next day.

 

07-09 LGT clutch kith with flywheel and TSK3 snout kit feels like a better clutch overall. Pedal feel is a bit lighter, the new setup is a little more grabby but not too bad and better than the mushy feel the stock one always had.

 

The only thing I'm not pleased with is the engagement point is higher up in the pedal release. I've pretty much gotten used to it, but I may consider trying to adjust it once the new clutch is worn in properly.

 

Overall I'm very happy with the new setup. There is no chatter, box of rocks, or anything like that.
