jameshawk25 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 So after searching I am yet to come up with a good solution. I killed my clutch a few weeks ago and I am trying to figure out what road to take. I am only at stage 1 right now but I will be going to stage 2 2.5 soon. Will a stock clutch hold up fine? What aftermarket clutch do you have? I dont want a super stiff pedal. When I look for a stage 1 clutch for the 06 lgt I find a lot that would force me to get a wrx flywheel. Does anyone make a kit that wouldn't make me change the flywheel? Thanks in advance. If I missed a thread please point me in the right direction.

ripemeat Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 you have a dual mass flywheel. get rid of that shit for a wrx single mass. you can't resurface a dual mass(well, practically). you can choose to keep your flywheel but if you're in there, might as well replace it so you don't have to later on. there's a transmission forum you know, http://legacygt.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/transmissions-79.html plenty of clutch info there.....

OutbackXT05 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ive been running the single mass flywheel and exedy oem replacement clutch for about 15k miles now at stage 2.5 and have literally about 200 launches on it and it still grabs just fine. Spun all 4 255s at the track through all of first the last time i was there. Just pulled my motor out a couple weeks ago and the clutch is still looking like it has a good amount of life in it too. So if your going to stop at stage 2-2.5 id recommend the exedy replacement for stock feel and engagement. If your going bigger turbo look else where. I snagged a clutchmasters fx300 for my build.

GTTuner Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 If pedal effort is a concern stick with a Clutch Masters unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobaruGT Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I had an Exedy OEM replacement before and it only lasted about 35k. The pedal feel sucked (it was really tough), but it did the job. I have since gone Comp stage II kit in anticipation of Stage III and I LOVE it! Pedal feel is fantastic, grips like a champ. Just my .02 but there's lots of info out there. Search it up!

JermTheElf Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Exedy Stage 1 is ok. Pedal feel is really heavy and it's slipped on me a few times now at Stg2 power levels. When I pull the motor I'll be upgrading to a Spec 2+ most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways the Seven Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I fried mine too recently and I'm looking at the Spec Stage 3 6-puck and just picked up a WRX flywheel.

doobaruGT Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 All you really need is the walkthrough and the tourque specs. I would recommend a tranny jack and some high jack stands (harbor freight).

jameshawk25 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I found a decent deal on a competition clutch stage 2 with the light weight single mass flywheel. I am putting it in over the weekend and I will let ya know how it works out. Perfect time to take care of my timing belt and install my sti up pipe as I am pulling the motor to make getting the t50p flywheel bolts out a little easier!

nhltfour Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have a Stage 2 Comp Clutch in with less than 2k miles on it. I DD and frequent the mountains of colorado alot. The 500 mile break-in period was HORRIBLE. But since then I have no issues and would reccomend it to anyone looking to keep an oem feel yet be able to throw some power into the clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolmers06LGT Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Here's the link for the DIY clutch swap. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/diy-clutch-replacement-video-126975.html This isn't that painful of a project (I just swapped mine a few months ago with almost no experience working on this car). There are some things to keep in mind... First, gather ALL of the parts you will need before you start the project. The biggest time suck I ran into was waiting for parts. Second, use PB blaster liberally, especially on the bolts/nuts holding the bellhousing to the engine block. The hardest part wasn't aligning the transmission- it was seperatiing the transmission from the block. Took me a full week and a lot of frustration to get the sucker apart. Third, I should reiterate that it is important to place all bolts in baggies and label each bag with respect to the step. Also, you should make a checklist for each step as you remove parts so you can assemble in the proper order. Lastly, this is worth the money saved, but only if you can't afford the labor. You're trading a severe headache for the cost of labor. I'm glad I did mine, but I'm not sure I'd try it again. There are too many small details that can add a few days each to the time you're out of the car. This starts to get really depressing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
