Clutch Recomendation

[legacy666]

Hi there, anyone recommend or tell me what to avoid in the way of clutches for a GDA wrx 5 speed. what are the clutches on TM like. NZAD sell few.

[subieboy]

I have not had any issues with a factory clutch so would recommend that, Exedy is another brand (the factory ones are Exedy iirc)

The excedy organic clutches are good iv run a few of them in other cars,id say there close to a slight upgrade on the stock clutch but not by alot,im sure if its a stock car a stock clutch should be sweet?

What will somewhere like Wingers charge for a stock clutch replacement?

They just did my cambelt kit for $1060

exceddy make stock clutches, got a genuine sti one in my impreza, nice unit. i\'d imagine the wrx one is a bit cheeper than the $700 plus for the sti one lol.

And on this, are you planning on any power mods in future? If you\'re going to replace the clutch, now would the perfect time to get something that would handle your future power increase.

Stock engine and no plans for more power. Just refreshing a few things. plugs and filters etc

Stock be around $500 I guess + how many hours work. 3?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

well, i know the sti one from reports is good for at least 25% increase in power

but yeah, i\'d bang an sti one into the wrx if i was upgrading power to similar levels.

my install cost $500 cash, through a mate, with a workshop, in his time, and took a while. so tbh, i ain\'t complaining.

Nice.

I was quoted around the $800 mark for clutch kit, fly wheel machining and labor. Should really look into what type of clutch kit it is .

sorry, thats not including the price of the clutch itself... lol

NZAD - Dont. Clutches that everyone has issues with overseas. Think they call them D1? Are branded F1 overseas os summat like that.

STI 5sp is $360ish gen without release bearing iirc. Uprated similar spec to a H/D - 20-30% I think.

Check out pro-wholesale.co.nz

Good pricing on Exedy clutches... the OEM replacement is worlds cheaper than a "genuine" despite being apparently the same part.

[legacy666]

two quotes back and they are 1200 and 1300 bucks. sheeesh

How many hours to drop a clutch in?

Pro-wholesale have oem excedy on sale at $495, or hd $575.

[legacy666]

^Pro came back to me with another offer. $475 delivered. Sounds like my cheapest option, now to find someone who will put it in for a reasonable price. Any suggestions for Hamilton workshops?

Mines\' got an Exedy HD in it. Nice clutch.

Why not just get a genuine sti h/d replacement? Cheaper than both at trade.

With a release bearing and spigot bearing?

For my 6MT the genuine came back slightly more expensive than an Exedy HD, and that was at trade.

Release bearing is 40-50 odd and spigot is 10 max. Im talking 5sp. Mine was $361 for cover/plate in sti.

^where and how do I get my hands on one of these 5 speed sti clutches.

another quote back for $910 which is the cheapest I\'ve found with an excedy hd
