highlander Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Have ACT with LWFW and full face disc. Love it. a little increase in NVH. + motors spins up faster, smoother + solid consistent clutch engagement + easy to rev match + great price through Crucial Racing - can hear gears more during engine braking - learning curve to shift gears smoothly due to engine dropping RPMs faster - originally had wrong release bearing, ACT overnighted correct one. - - leaking oil seal on passenger front axle. Not a clutch issue, just a PITA for me. I considered the WRX OEM flywheel for a smaller decrease in weight, but closer to stock drivability. I'm not a fan of Spec's 2 piece FW. No data, just didn't like the thought of one of the friction surface bolts coming loose.

bigb3630123 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 ACT has been great for me.... Break in period sucks and as a driver of standard cars for 7 years....... I stalled like 4 times over the first week. I admit it haha. Now all is smooth and no arguments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abakja1 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Spec stage 2+ and LWFW and still waiting for the clutch chatter to go away. How many miles till your clutch engagement got smooth? Mine sucks right now and hating it more and more.... Feels like from the passanger front like a loose axle...Also had leaking axle seal on driver side tho that dealership fixed under warranty.

qikslvr Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Here is a link to my ongoing review of my SPEC Stg2 Clutch and LWFW. Smooth as glass and holding strong at 6K miles so far. Took it to the drag strip last night and it held fine on 4K rpm launches. My review thread http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78095&highlight=spec+review Let's kick this pig!

Beanboy Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Have the ACT kit along with shifter bushings and transmission mount. Was grabby cold the first few hundred miles for the first few takeoffs from a stop, nothing too bad though. Did stall it a few times. Now, just a touch grabby for the first one or two takeoffs from a stop. There is certainly some increased gear rattle from 3K to 2K in 2nd/3rd when you are off throttle. Clutch engagement is much, much more positive and consistent now. Can actually feel the engagement point versus stock. And I like having the engine rev a little easier, feels like a smaller motor versus before. -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 ACT HD clutch and WRX OEM FLY. No issues. Drives like stock, holds like a mutha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBlueGT Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 For the non-cheapos there is the mildly more expensive BullyClutch 06 rex conversion. I think I was the first one here to have an 06 WRX clutch and PP on their LGT. Mine is absolutely top-notch, one year old, and I couldn't ask for anything more. -Logged 0-60 in 4 secs. -No slippage. -No increase in pedal affort. -extremely easy to drive. I would have gotten the ACT flywheel (I was the first in line) but it wasn't ready in time, so I have an OEM WRX one. It is fine. I would prefer it a bit lighter, but it is a step up from the DMF that we have. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

highlander Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I had a 900 mile weekend break-in trip, so that actually worked out for me!
