No worry. I'd have completely forgotten about it were it not for notifications here, hah!

I'll have a dig around the basement for that part. I know it's there, but I'll double check.

 

Did you want the group N mount as well? I'd have to ask what dude wants for it, but that's just a text away. I want to say they're like $120 CAD new, and I believe this one was NIB. I'll need to see what the OEM short shift kit sells for as well. I have no idea, but would guess they are in the neighbourhood of $200 CAD? Dunno.

 

No worries, as I said as well, no rush. It'll take me some time to allocate my funds properly since school is so damn expensive and my car isn't a huge priority in comparison. 

To answer your question, I wouldn't mind the trans mount either, just the same ideology previously stated. By the time you're back over the border, I should be stable enough to pick it up however. Whenever you get the chance, let me know how much he'll let the trans mount go for.

I've got a Subaru short throw kit in my basement, which I don't need, since I have a COBB in my car with the bush kit

Where you at? If your not in a rush, I can wait until next time I jump across the border to ship it. I'd have to look at what it's worth, but it's unused.

Sorry for the delay, busy week. Located in the suburbs outside of Chicago, IL. Not in any rush at the moment, just working on getting my car in better condition than when I bought it.

I would politely suggest starting with a short shift kit, new STi trans mount and a shifter bushing kit. Flush the system with new fluid and adjust the pedal to spec…. Relatively cheap compared to an uprated clutch kit.

That will definitely change how the shifting experience goes for you.

No, it won’t fix the slip, but an OE clutch is fine for the power you’ve got, and I would hazard a guess that the money you save getting something you don’t need on that end would cover the cost of the rest.

I was looking at this as well and figured that I'd do it if I ended up replacing the clutch. But now, after seeing that there is virtually no point in upgrading my clutch because I don't really have a real reason to, I think I'm just gonna go with the short throw and the shifter bushings.

Do you have any recommendations for short throw kits or should I just go COBB for the full set?

Different how? And why the desire?

I guess it really just comes down to wanting something with more umpf but not having the funds for it right now and I'm just taking the easy route by changing the feeling of the car. In all honesty, there is no rhyme or reason as to why I truly want to change the clutch from OEM other than just wanting to do it. 

Sidenote, I've decided to just wait it out until the clutch starts slipping under load rather than just shuddering when getting moving from a stop once it gets hot.

Genuine question, please answer: What characteristics are you expecting out of an other-than-OEM clutch that would make a bone stock, N/A subaru more "fun" to drive?

Being completely honest? I'd probably want something that's just a little different than what I've got now. Even though it's bone stock, I still enjoy the hell out of driving my car and was wondering what the recommendations were for something that's good for daily driving but feels different from the original clutch.

I've got a 2008 2.5i Legacy Sedan and was just wondering what clutch you all would recommend. I know that going OEM would be my best bet as the car is bone stock but I was wondering if you all had any other suggestions that'd make the car a little more fun to drive. (Note: I'm not replacing the clutch for fun, it's starting to slip after driving for an extended period of time collectively. I'm pretty sure this isn't normal but can't be too sure.)

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

I bought my 2008 2.5i Legacy in November last year, since then, it's had nothing but problems. As of late, the newest problem is as stated in the title. Whenever I'm coming to a stop and I push in the clutch to put the car back in neutral as I make a stop, it turns off every single time without fail, but only once the car is warmed up. I'm at a total loss as to what I should do as I don't want to keep throwing parts at it hoping that it fixes the problem. So far, I've replaced all of the spark plugs with OEM NGK ones, all fuel injectors with OEM spec injectors, spark plug wires, ignition coil, and MAF sensor. Any and all help is greatly appreciated
