Thanks for any input.

I have a Clutchmasters FX300 in mine. It feels like stock and will hold up better with what you are running over the stock clutch.

Clutch masters fx350: is a good clutch I use on my car good pedal feel way better then my spec clutch will need a single mass flywheel or lwfw

 

ACT: the most popular choice, good reviews. Will need a single mass flywheel or lwfw

 

Spec: Most people don't have good results with them. You can reuse your duel mass but not recommended

 

Comp clutch: they are out there have not read any feed back. Come as a clutch/flywheel package.

I have an FX350 in mine and it chatters like a bitch. YMMV.

 

Mine recently stopped chattering

What parts do i have to order/replace when getting a clutch replaced?

 

The mechanic told me Clutch pressure plate & disc, throwout bearing, pilot bearing

 

does that sound about right?

I would recommed the FX350 for light pedal effort and great driveability. Check the FX350 thread in the Trans section.

 

You will be looking to replace:

Friction disc

Pressure plate

TOB bearing

Flywheel (unless replacing with OEM or Spec clutch, then depends on current FW condition)

Pilot bearing

TSK3 trans snout sleeve kit (comes with TOB) usually recommended

 

Might need replacing: (unlikely, but possible)

Clutch fork (if cracked/broken)

Slave cylinder (if leaking)

MC (again, if leaking)

Lines from MC to slave (if cracking)

QFT. It scared me a bit

ACT clutch SMFW TSK-3 kit. prefect.

I have a clutch masters FX300 and it's quiet as stock, not chattering or anything. This is with the WRX single mass flywheel. The pedal is LIGHTER than stock, but the engagement is much more abrupt / grabby. Reverse can be a little tricky for me.

 

I had a Spec stage 2 before this and it only lasted about 30,000 miles....I think because I did not resurface my stock flywheel when I put it in. I only gave it a light sanding / roughing up and cleaning.

I ended up going with the spec clutch kit... I didn't want to change my flywheel out.

 

I got 100k out of stock clutch. Plan on getting a new car in a year or so.... Thanks for the input everyone

 

About 5k easy miles, maybe a little less

If it makes you feel better, I'm the one that get's great service out of my Spec clutches. My 2+ was great when I replaced it after 80,000 miles. It chattered every now and then when the weather was right for it, much like my old stock one did.

 

My current Spec 2 is great, over 20,000 miles. Has never chattered. Works great.

 

I had another member drive the car last night, he's going to order a Spec 2.

after the mechanic took the trans down he noticed the underlying issue that caused the failure.... the ******* clutch fork cracked!

 

ended up replacing the clutch anyways and now its super easy to press down... its kinda weird. almost like pressing down the gas pedal

i know DMFW's aren't supposed to be resurfaced according to the stearlership, But i went on ahead and resurfaced mine with a stock subaru sachs clutch kit. No issues at all what so ever....yet. Don't see why we cant resurface them, i havent found information as to why yet.

I need a clutch as well, mine finally started slipping. I'm stage 3 on stock clutch hahaha. i have a WRX flywheel BNIB, what clutch should i get with this? Or does anyone have some laying around?
