crash Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I hate chatter. I'm hoping the ACT clutch (w/WRX fly) won't chatter. I hate chatter. If you hate chatter, get a Stage 2 or LESS clutch from SPEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbobum Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Has anyone used a stage 2 SPEC with a 06+ WRX flywheel? Obviously it would have to be a WRX clutch kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 DAMN those are some good looking parts!!! I never got to see mine since the install was all set up by SPEC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groff Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 hey i posted up mine too you'll be happy w/ the setup rony, its nice. my 3+ has 1100 miles on it now, and i'm trying to learn how to launch w/ this turbo and fly setup. been trying to be easier on the tranny by rolling into it some. still haven't had the launch i'm quite looking for yet though, by no fault of the clutch, driver error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Is there going to be a round 2 GB for these. i missed out on GB1 due to lack of funds, but now have $ available for this. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groff Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 well, gb1 never materialized, i think some people were scared away by my original issues (from my misaligned pilot bearing...my fault). basically i'm very happy with the setup, very easy to drive and would recommend it, i just don't think there are enough people for a GB at this time though, especially since some of the people interested ::coughronycough:: have already bought their items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Ya, I saw all the pictures. you probably nicked it while aligning the input shaft. Been there and done that. That's alright JSCSpeed has the stage II clutch for $575 and the flywheel for $359 or about $935 for the whole setup so it's not too far off I'm thinkin. My stock clutch is still drivable, but won't hold on blipin track launch or a hard, high RPM downshift to third unless you hit it just right. Let's kick this pig!

groff Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 yup. stock clutch = the suckage. interesting how jsc has the fly for cheaper than SPEC.... damn business practices. you'll be happy w/ that combo for sure if you get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 If you are running more power then stock and want a clutch that holds I think they are all going to chatter some. I would much rather deal with a little chatter than not even be able to use the power a car has. Driving with a slipping clutch sucks the big ones!! I have a spec 2+ with my stock flywheel that I have had now for about 30,000 miles. I am running full stage 2 and my clutch is still working like it was new. And up until I moved 8 months ago I was dragracing on almost a weekly basis. Sometimes hot lapping at the drag strip. I really wish they had this flywheel over a year ago. And if anyones wondering when I dragrace I let the clutch drop between 4-5000 rpm's. The only thing I have ever broke was the rear halfshaft. That sheered on me once.. I have now broke 2 things.. Something is knocking in my tranny now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Another update on my Spec Flywheel and 2+ clutch, it's been in over 5 weeks. Sometimes a little chatter when taking off from a stop. But the ability to cherp the rear tires on the second gear shift more then makes up for that. Haven't missed a gear since the install. Subaru should take lesson's on clutches from these guy's. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

rony Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Clutch has been installed and has 500 miles on it!!! This is possibly the most responsive clutch I have ever had in any car. Easy engagement, minor chatter (mostly my fault, on a good day no chatter) and strong. This clutch is on/off but you can still slip it a little if you want, it's great. Now, unfortunately, I will be taking the car back apart to replace the clutch fork and put in a missing flywheel bolt!!! I have pictures of the clutch fork before and after the repair weld. All I can say is that the RPS required to much force to engage and the clutch fork was failing. It I had not replaced it, it would have been really bad...

qikslvr Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Has anyone installed both the Spec LW FW and a LW crank pully? I'm ordering the Spec LWFW in the morning just so I have it all here and ready to go when the stock one finally give out. I'm just wondering if I should take the LW CP off before changing the clutch pack and FW. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyShow Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Any check engine lights with the lightened flywheel? My clutch and flywheel are done for and im wondering if this is the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I just ordered my flywheel last Friday so i should have all the parts by the end of the week. I think I'll take mine to the strip one more time before changing it out. I sounds like with either the lightweight flywheel or the lightweight pully you shouldn't have any CELs, but what I'm interested in hearing about is wheather anyone has both a pully and flywheel installed and howthat is working out.

groff Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 buy me a pulley and i'll put it on no CELs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 If mine causes CELs after the flywheel and clutch install I'll take it off and send it to you free of charge. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobum Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 why would you want to? spec's fly is better. The spec flywheel is not better, it's lighter, which may be better for some. I don't want that light of a flywheel. I'd rather have the drivablility of a stock-weight one (or slightly lighter than stock). It the WRX fly turns out not to be light enought, then I'll install a light-weight pulley. I just can't stand the stock DMF. It makes the shifting too vague, smooth yes, but there's not feel to it.
