Max Capacity Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 That's old news, A 07-09 Legacy GT FW will fit your 2005. Its the same FW as the 06-11WRX, and I guess up to the 14' WRX. If you go to Spec Clutches web site you can look up a 07-09 Legacy GT and a 06-11 WRX and see the same part number. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05subileggygt Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 So I need to change my flywheel. I have a 05 lgt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Most do. You have a dual mass FW they can't be re-surfaced. A single mass FW can be. That's why we replace them. The 07-09 GT's came with a SMFW. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

05subileggygt Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 So I need the smfw to make that clutch in the link work with my car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 IMO yes. Also I'd suggest you talk with one of the trusted vendors here. PM, underdog or m sprank or contact Mike at www.AZPinstalls.com Talk with them, tell them what you have, they will sell you the correct parts the first time and give you great customer service. They take all the guess work out of it. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

MNRZR Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 If you wan't to go with that clutch, yes you need a new flywheel. The flywheel out of an 2006-up WRX is what you want. Google the part # of that clutch kit (FJK1001) to find it for $150 less elsewhere. I agree with Max though. Contact one of the vendors on here and they'll set you up correct. I think I got my flywheel through Fred Beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05subileggygt Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 What clutch kits bolt rite up with out changing my flywheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNRZR Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 You can get the oem from the dealer or places like rock auto and advance auto sell replacements that will fit your car. That said, you should always resurface or replace the flywheel when doing a clutch job, and the dual mass flywheel that your car came with can't be/shouldn't be resurfaced. So if your going to do it right, just get the single mass wrx flywheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05subileggygt Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 How does this one look? It's a local sale near me. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=678&ad=29225798&cat=&lpid= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanyb505 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Looks a lot like the stock smfw, not particularly a Greddy lwfw. More trained eyes may know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05subileggygt Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 So that's the smfw that I need to make that clutch work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNRZR Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 That is NOT an OEM smfw. This is what the OEM looks like: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTA5MVgxNjAw/$T2eC16V,!zoE9s5ne+31BQIB5OKneg~~60_35.JPG The one you linked looks like the Exedy lightweight flywheel: http://www.rallysportdirect.com/catalog_photos/products/exedy/exe_ff502_1_sd.jpg Personally I wouldn't go with the lightweight flywheel. While it will work, it has been mentioned on here several times that there are issues that come along with using a lw flywheel. Like a "bag of rocks" noise when decelerating. If you use a lw flywheel and lw crank pulley, you could get some false knock as well. I haven't seen it personally, but I did read it on the internets once. There are used oem smfw's around too. You'll just have to look around here and over at that other Subaru forum. It seems they usually go for around $100 and then you'll need to resurface it for probably another $30 or so.

BrianEarlSpilner Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Here's the flywheel you want part # 12342AA090 That's the SMFW they're talking about that will work with the aftermarket clutches. You have to replace that stock flywheel with a clutch change anyway so that's the go to part #. I just recently purchased a Comp Clutch 2100 kit with flywheel included. The flywheel that comes with that clutch is a lightweight flywheel, however. I am using the lightweight flywheel myself and can attest to the "bag of rocks" sound. I don't have any door to door driving in my commute so the LWFW doesn't bother me that much. The clutch was only about $675 to my door from thmotorsports. -infamous performance (m sprank) -AZP installs (Mike) -thmotorsports (Dewey) ^these guys have all the answers you need so just give them a call. If not a search of legacy gt clutches should yield all the info you need to make a good decision on the best clutch for your application. You never mentioned any upgrades- that can play a huge role in clutch selection as well. If you're stock OE should be fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
