connoisseurr Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 What did you end up using for the clutch job; all Exedy parts? Wondering if you did the FJK1001 clutch and TYF001 flywheel? If yes, what flywheel bolts did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamedude Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Pretty sure that's what I used. I had to get the other flywheel and it looks like that was the part number I was given from some of the other forum users. For bolts I used the wrx hex flywheel bolts. Because torx sucks. Mine came out with no issues though. https://www.fastwrx.com/products/oem-subaru-flywheel-bolts 50k+ no problems. I would have used the lightweight flywheel if I did it again.

I’d be interested in your feedback as to why you are more inclined to use Exedy’s lightweight flywheel?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro There are times when I'd like an ever so slightly quicker spin down of the engine and the exedy flywheel is lighter without going crazy light or expensive. Changing clutches is a pain since I work in my apartment parking lot so it's a do it right the first time thing. I also was only running a stage 1 tune that whole time so if you're planning to change out the down pipe or turbo, consider a stronger clutch. Because as mentioned it's not exactly convenient to change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about my goals with this OBXT and I think I've decided to keep it about Stage 1. I'll replace the turbo (plus down+up pipe) if the turbo ever craps out. Planning on doing all the regular maintenance I can (TB+WP, Valve cover gaskets and plugs, clutch, engine + trans mounts and some rad hoses). Everything seems rather straight forward decision wise but the clutch has been the thing keeping me on the fence which way to go. Your responses have been very helpful, so thank you, again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
