Clutch Opinions?

**DJBRANDER** · #1: 05-01-2013, 11:30 AM

So when I purchased my car the clutch was kinda slipping when I had alot of people or stuff in it, it's progressively gotten worse. So it's time to replace it.

Now I've done some research and the OEM one is a decent price, but if I want to go with an upgrade which one do you think I should choose? Does anyone have any suggestions to ones you have installed or ones that you've previously had that you like?

Exedy KSB04

It's perfect. Search it on here and you'll see all the nice things I've said about it. It's $150 and MUCH MUCH better than OEM.

Is there an upgrade for the cable on the cable clutches? Like some sort of thicker braided cable or is it just a good idea to replace with OEM?. I feel like that would be alot stiffer once it stretches..

I hate how soft my clutch feels, makes me wonder if the person before me was a person who sits on the clutch at red lights, because the pressure plate feels weaker than it should..

Nice! thats how much an OEM one costs, I think I'll do that.

Sludge, you shouldn't have a cable clutch..... But maybe yours is one of those weird ones. Being a Brighton and all....

Honestly, cable clutches feel very different from hydraulic clutches. There may be nothin lg wrong. You have a 2.2 so your pressure plate might be really light as well. I dont know for sure.

Yea I wouldn't pull wool over yer guy's eyes.

The black cable on the backside of the "cable stop" goes into the firewall.. and to my pedal ass'y.

Yeah mines a brighton too, I also have a cable clutch.

now since I have a 2.2, can I still run the 2.5 Clutch? Or will I need the flywheel as well?

Because it's made to fit a LOT of Subaru's, including that one.

Crud. I forgot you guys had 2.2's

Yeah, you'd need a 2.5 flywheel as well. It won't work with the 2.2's

If you went Exedy, you'd have to use this one with the 2.2 flywheel: 15010

EDIT:

BUT....

Now I'm seeing that there are no size differences between the two clutches.... I wonder if the pressure plate is different. I am not quite sure what the 2.5/2.2 differences are.
