SSpeed Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm pretty sure I have a cracked pressure plate. What's the best clutch these days for a stage 3 car? No ACT please... Symptoms: Car won't go in to gear unless the engine is off If I rev with the clutch in and in gear it will creep slowly Bled the clutch and am getting full throw at the slave cylinder the clutch fork moves freely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSpeed Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 My Southbend is what welded itself to the flywheel on clutch #2. Granted, part of that was my problem, but not all of it... I liked it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian3676 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Been running my stage 2 endurance at 300whp for a while. No issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have over 44,000 miles on my Spec 2 clutch. It's been flawless. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

SSpeed Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Brian, I had a stage 3 organic. I guess that corresponds to their daily? Maybe I should consider the endurance? Max, I've been out of the loop too long, what is the spec 2? I should clarify my configuration: Like any mild stage 3 car in thin air Colorado, the car does 310 ft lbs to the wheels at 3200ish rpm, peak hp is about 290 to the wheels. I may increase this by about 50-100 hp (and ft lbs) in the next year or two and the clutch option should take that in to consideration too. I drag it from a stop rarely, but do floor it from a roll a lot, quite a lot. The clutch also does a ton of stop and go traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 http://www.specclutch.com/cars/Subaru/Legacy/2005/Single Make sure you get a steel SMFW. You might want to think a about Spec 2+. I had one of those two. It was a little chattery when damp, sometimes, but a side step of the clutch pedal would fix that. Or just stop babying it. At 85,000 miles the 2+ was still going strong. I went to a Spec 2 with the new ej257. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

doobaruGT Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Quite happy with my Comp Stg 2 clutch. Very predictable and reliable for my current power output. This is the third clutch in this car and I'm at 175k. Updated parts list since original part-out here. Original Full part-out of my LGT HERE!
