My clutch is starting to slip. 60,000 miles I don't know how it could be going out already... Anyway, is an aftermarket clutch going to last longer than an OEM clutch? I don't really need one for horsepower handling reasons since I dont plan on ever exceeding 250hp, but if it has added durability I'd maybe be willing to pay the extra money. Edit: Who wants to show/help me how to put it in Assuming compensation would be in order of course.
I don't know about the durability of a performance clutch, but I put a clutch in my friend's 240... I'll never do another one without a lift. [xx(]
I have the same problem, I research at this moment for my rs we can assemble together to get the clutch done.
I have had a spec brand clutch in my car all summer and have had several trips to BIR for the drag races with no problems. And i feel im well over stock horsepower as well. Also a friend is running one in a rally car and has had no problems. I am running the six puc sprung hub and love it. Drives like stock! and the price is great. I got mine from horsepowerfreaks.com. and if your looking for somebody to put it in for you let me know. The friend that works on that rally car and my car is a very good guy. he is a master suby tech. at bloomington subaru, plus works for a pro scca rally team. He has a lift at his house and does good work cheap!
I did my clutch Early this last Spring with the help from Matt (OB1) and my buddies. This was an exedy stg 1 clutch kit I got from clutchcityonline.com At the time, it was $315 with free shipping, now the price is higher. I'll help guide as well and help organize the bolts because things won't be so good with missing bolts.
I went couple times at horsepowerfreaks.com, I might let your friend look at MY01 RS, I will let you know brian.
I called and asked him tonight and he said 350.00 for just labor. u will need to get the clutch and you may need to turn your flywheel but thats cheap. he is busy till after x-mas, but after that he can do it if you want. any other questions let me know. later Kyle.
i got mine done at work for...get this...FREE it was a warranty clutch with 2K miles on it, they complained about chatter, its an exedy clutch from a 05 WRX...my freind, a mechanic put it in, and gave it to me, in the end i payed about 7 bucks, because i bought him lunch jealous?
if i have warranty, full warranty til 2008 or 100k miles ( i only have 34k right now), the clutch is part of the warranty, right?
i think so, tell them (whoever) that your clutch is chattering and they should replace it for free or very cheap

Couldn't be happier. Car is a little more noisy now but other than that, they work great together.
