bosco Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yes it is. That is why you need the whole kit (fly, PP, disc) and you can't match & match 06 rex type pieces with LGT pieces. All or nothing! i have the whole kit just wonder how the smaller fw affects the starter. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awdG35killer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 ive had this combo on for over 25k miles WITH a LW Perrin Pulley. i love it and its a helluva lot better than the OEM obviously sucks to drive in Los Angeles bumper to bumper traffic, just give it more gas than usually and your fine ... but your wallet will hate you when you get to the gas station. if you drive right theres no chatter. no stink. no slip. have NOT launched it yet NOR used LC. sorry this is my 3rd clutch so im thinking i i shouldnt even try it likes flatfoot shifting tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansGT Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 ^ 5% nice. Annual limit? back to the clutch. she's still breaking in nicely. the only thing i've noticed is a very very slight vibration after shifting early into 3rd and applying some gas. While in 3rd around 1500PRM-2000PRM i get a minor vibration. Again it's so minor you can't feel it through the steering wheel. You more hear it than anything. And to hear it you need to be paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 That sounds like chatter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 yeah, but i remember with the oem set up or probably any set up on any car, if you shift too early then the low rpms you get a little vibration or bucking as the car is looking for more gas. in this case, it's just a different "feel" and/or sound. Nothing that makes me think I made a bad choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I just got my ACT clutch and FW in the mail and I noticed that I only got 6 FW bolts and there are 8 holes to fill? Am I missing something? Also I do not see any spacer ring in my FW assembly. The 6 bolts that come with the flywheel are to hold the pressure plate on to the flywheel.

JSaladino Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 i'm at the mercy of friends giving me a ride ^^ lol, could have some fun with that one too . the clutch takes a little getting used to, but it's definitely fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Took me about 15-20 take offs to get use to it, only stalled once. We're all good now. I can't wait until it is broken in, this thing grabs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 picked up car today, 4.5 hrs. labor $382.00, ACT kit $616.00, WRX 06 fw $227.00 total $1225.00 (all numbers rounded off). shop said it's one of the easiest clutch installs he has done and all parts fit as stated. clutch is very easy to push in, a little firmer than stock but not enough to worry about actually has more of a performance feel. "take up" is the same as stock i can't really tell a difference. starting off in 1st gear there is a mild "chatter" sometimes and when i adjusted my technique chatter is pretty much gone. car shifts smooth up and down, no issues. on the way home i "rolled into it" a couple of times and clutch does not slip at all now. original fw/pp has minor "bluing/glazing" and very little wear on the disk i think with the power i have the stock system just doesn't have enough clamping force. engine seems a little more responsive but what do i know i'm old and stupid anything feels fast to me. will check back when i get some more miles on it so far so good. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 My PP/FW was horribly scorched, clutch disc had plenty of meat though. I still have yet to experience any chatter. The install is very straight foward only difficulties were trying to seperate and reconnect the motor and trans without a lift or hoist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
