Smithcraft Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Hello! So it looks like TH Motorsports is having a sale on clutches. I'm thinking of staying with the nearly OEM Exedy stage 1 clutch, the 15803. Should I consider going with the 15803HD just to play it safe? I'm not looking for a big power increase, just a hopefully more reliable driver. Or is there a reason why I should avoid the Exedy and pick something else for a daily, once it's running again in a few months? Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Max Capacity Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I don't like putting a stock style back in a car. I would at least go with a HD. Also call the clutch company and make sure you get the correct disc and PP for your 08 Spec B. They are not that simple to get a correct kit for. Do your homework and make sure you get what you want. These are not the same as an STI kit. I googled that clutch and you need a FW to use it. Another good place to ask would be http://www.AZPinstalls.com as they have a real brick and mortar shop and would know what works. Buy from them. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Smithcraft Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Thanks Max! TH Motorsports does list that it needs the appropriate flywheel. I'll give that AZP shop the once over twice.

Holla Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I went with the Exedy oem replacement for my spec B swap, I love it. Clutch pedal is light as a feather, very easy to drive. I reused the spec B flywheel. This clutch will still hold 300+ hp, what kind of power are you putting down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithcraft Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 It's just stage 2, and I'm happy with where it's at, so I'm not looking to go crazy. About the only thing I'm thinking about right now is a EL exhaust when it gets rebuilt.

Smithcraft Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 I think I'm gonna order the HD and the flywheel later today, but just as a note, I thought the 15803 (which are the 'racing' parts) was the OEM, but the correct OEM part for the SpecB 6 speed is the FJK1002. Annoyingly enough, there are no specs for the OEM type clutch...

SubOperator Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I put two Exedy OEM replacements in my boys NA Outbacks, love the clutch in tehir cars. For my Stage2 LGT I had ClutchMaster FX250 installed, besides some chatter it works fine for last 80K or so.... I used WRX SM FW when CM FX50 was put in. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinj1990 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I just installed an ACT HDSS Clutch Kit with Flywheel SB11-HDSS for my 2005 legacy with the ej20y swap but haven't gotten it to the point to drive it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
