Spotted ABP Debadged LGT w/ mufflers & gunmetal(?) wheels on 80 westbound and 23 northbound on the way home today. Looked good.

Is there a How To on replacing the common bearings that go back on the 5mt?

So I need a new clutch (AGAIN). This clutch is an ACT HD Street Clutch With ACT Streetlite Flywheel (chatters like a mofo). It was installed about 2 years ago and has about 30,000 miles on it. NEVER been launched or beat on in anyway. The other day I was driving in traffic and all of a sudden the pedal stiffened up and it started vibrating and chattering like crazy and engaging very high on the pedal.
Took it to my mechanic and he said it seems like I bent my pressure plate but he'd have to the tranny to know for sure.
MODS:
Fully bolted
VF-52
750cc Inj
AVO FP
Perrin TMIC
Etc...
Power: 316whp (on a Dyno Dynamics rig, numbers may be a little higher than actual)
So before I pull my tranny I'm going to order another clutch so if I do need to replace it I have the parts on hand since this is my only car and I want to minimize downtime.
So I obviously not going with ACT again, 2 years and 30K miles on a "high performance" clutch that has not been abused is sub par to say the least.
Possible replacement choice:
Exedy Stage 1
CM FX200 or FX300
Question - Based on my mods and power levels do you think the Exedy Stage 1 (The cheapest) would be sufficient. And if I went with the CM, should I go for the FX300 over the FX200 based on my power levels?
TIA
My ACT HD Setup started acting up yesterday. What'd you end up doing?
-
Wow, glad this thread is still alive and kicking
-
Okay cool, I'll def keep that in mind. Thanks dude!
-
ok, i think im just gonna go with spt cbe. you should go to the ikea meets. maybe ill see u there
Hm, when and where? Ever since I got my bike last summer, I kinda gave up on the Subie haha. My trans sounds like its about to blow up.
-
Its definitely annoying after a while lol. I'm thinking of adding a resonator just to shut her up a bit haha

spotted a 05 white gt with red mudflaps at Mtn Creek today. I was in my friends civic coupe with the gold wheels.
-
spotted yesterday on dean street in englewood (7:30 am), a black '05 gt lowered with aftermarket wheels, drl disable, crooked exhaust lol, etc. i was test driving a car (ml 350) and honked as i passed.
-
It would still probably be cheaper to just buy a 07 STi tranny new.
But i'd still have to buy the rear diff, axles, driveshaft, AND figure out the dccd wiring. No thanks. lol
-
ooh okay. i haven't really paid much attention to this forum lately
but i think i've come to the conclusion i'm just gonna rebuild my trans, get a new front diff and replace whatever is necessary internally.
-
wouldn't it be easier to just use 07 spec b parts, rather than mixing with driveshafts and rear diffs?
-
Anyone have part numbers for everything needed for the 06+ STi trans swap? I have a feeling my trans is gonna blow up soon, there are too many noises goin on in there lol.
-
Spotted a Black LGT Sedan with a BOV and Exhaust on 208 North onto 287 South in NJ about 20 minutes ago. Had a headlight out and was driving 'aggressively' haha.
-
Spotted yesterday on 287 South near Wanaque, NJ. Silver LGT with a brandy new SPT exhaust. Drove together for a few, waved, and parted ways.
-
Intermittent misfires on cylinders 2 and 4 at the same time. My friend (subie tech) said he's seen them leak a few times. Same problems I'm having.
-
Anyone have a part number for the gaskets between the intake manifold and the TGVs? Mine are leaky =\
