bignickgt Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi guys I'm new this site/clutches and I tried searching this topic but i can't find anything specific to what i'm trying to do. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I' recently bought an 05 legacy gt turbo 5speed and the old owner didn't bother to tell me that the clutch was gone. SoO... last week I ordered the stock dual mass fly wheel (because that's what the dealer told me to get) and I order an ACT performance street clutch (part SB5-HDSS) from act. I think this clutch used to be called "modified street disc" but they changed the name... Anyways, I guess its a legacy gt specific clutch because thats what act's site gave me when I selected my car year make and model. Now the big question is why do I hear rumors that the oem dual mass flywheel won't work with an act clutch? All I see is people buying the ACT clutch and 06-07 oem wrx single mass flywheel. This is scaring the heck out of me as i've already ordered the parts! Someone please tell that they've tried this setup b4 and it's worked..! (fingers crossed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 the act setup will not work with the dual mass. the act setup is meant for the 06-07 wrx single mass flywheel. if you wnat to use the act setup, you have to buy a oem 06-07 wrx fly or the act light flywheel, or if you want to use the LGT dual mass, you can buy the Spec clutch kit. What you have now though, wont work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Get the dealer to accept a return on the LGT flywheel and get either a stock OEM 06+ WRX flywheel or the one from ACT. I personally have the ACT with streetlite FW setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjl0792 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 whats the specific differences between the dual mass/single mass flywheel. besides weight. why wont it work with the act? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTBiggie Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 by guess would be sizing on the two flywheels. Long story short. ACT clutch kits require a WRX style flywheel. PERIOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
