Timmonsbm33 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hi there, I have an 05 LGT with 5 MT. I am trying to install a Competition Clutch 15026-2100 Stage 2 Street Series Clutch Kit. I pulled out the old clutch kit. I went to install the new lightweight flywheel and I don't have any bolts. I thought they were in the kit. What can i use? I am hoping to install tomorrow. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I came across the thread below, and I think this might be the same kit you have? If so, you might want to PM m sprank and ask him. It looks like he might have reused the old bolts, but I'm not sure, I've never replaced a clutch myself. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/gb-competition-clutch-kits-w-lwfw-05-09-lgt-675-167134.html *I just realized you were in the middle of the job, misread and thought you were going to do this in the next few days. Not sure if pm'ing will get you an answer quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmonsbm33 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 SO i just use the stock ones on an aftermarket kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes OEM FW bolts is what every FW is designed for. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

bluesuby Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes OEM FW bolts is what every FW is designed for. So the OEM bolts for the dual mass flywheel can be used even if your replacement is single mass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 No. But yes, My Spec DMFW used the OEM DMFW bolts but it was the first Spec LWFW sold. You can see the pictures in my click here link. When I went to a SMFW, I used OEM bolts, yes I did have a OEM SMFW installed. I did not install it. I did not get the 8 new OEM bolts returned to me. I'm not sure if the Spec LWFW still uses OEM DMFW bolts. I'm sure all Aftermarket LWFW's can use OEM SMFW bolts. There are enough members here with other then OEM FW's. I'm sure one of them can prove me wrong ? I say that based on the assumption that most clutch companies design the FW based on the SMFW in WRX's... for these cars. I also believe only the 05-06 LGT's had DMFW's. I could email my contact at Spec and ask them. I think I still have the email at home on my PC. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Here's the reply from Spec Clutch, "When you order our single-mass flywheel it includes crank-bolts. As for the ACT unit…I would suggest that the customer contact ACT. I have no info on their design specifications.

Timmonsbm33 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 So according to your source there should be 8 bolts with the kit? The Competition Clutch kit i got did not have those bolts. The stock bolts are not accessible as they are stuck in the cage of the DMFW. Sorry if it feels like i am repeating everything, i just want to get the right bolts before i put it back in. Once it goes back in i don't plan on pulling it back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I still say go to the dealer and get 8 FW bolts for a 07-09 Legacy GT I'm sure ACT or who ever didn't design their own bolts for the FW. Think about it. The stock bolts on the DMFW should be a Torx T50+. I believe their head is not large enough for a SMFW. You can see pictures of them in my click here link. Post 146, May 19th 2012. That the Spec LWFW with new friction surface. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x40/92Si/DSCN4784.jpg 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
