su-version Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Any input or preferences on clutch mfg's.? Is Exedy any good? The few Exedy reviews I've found discuss they're chattering characteristics or taking 2000+ miles to seat??? TIA.

Legacy777 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Exedy makes Subaru's clutches, however after doing a little homework when researching clutches for my 6spd swap I discovered that the stock STi 6spd clutch has dual springs on it vs. the Exedy aftermarket only having one single larger spring. This thread on NASIOC has some pictures and more info. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2092146 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ImprezaOSport Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just my 2 cents... I replaced my stock EXEDY clutch with a ACT HD/Perf Street Sprung clutch & pressure plate. I also replaced my flywheel with a ACT XACT Flywheel Streetlite. (see profile pic ) During my last timing belt replace and engine yank (267,000), I figured to change my clutch and pressure plate with the engine out even though I wasn't having any clutch problems. I replaced it with a stock SACHS clutch... BOY WHAT A MISTAKE. I HATE the soft clutch feel. I can't wait to replace this clutch with a another ACT HD/Perf clutch at 357,000 EXEDY/SACHS = softer pedal, some clutch slip especially when high revs - good if you do not DRIVE your subaru ACT HD/Perf Street = hard pedal, no slip, fast transfer of power even with high revs - recommended (my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Exedy/Sachs are good for a DD. ACT should be used when your stage 2 and up. Clutch Masters is another good brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luko Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) I just put an exedy in my 2001 lego sedan which is a daily about 4,000 miles ago and it's not bad for a daily driver, but that's about it Edited August 7, 2013 by luko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
