Nug Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I talked to Larry Clark at Centerforce today. He seemed suprised that they made clutches for nearly every subaru except EA82's. He asked me to send him a list of different subaru models, which engines came with what models and whatever years, etc. to help sort out the confusion in identifying ea81/ea82 cars.. I couldn't help him, because I can't tell them apart, really. I did tell him that RX's, XT's XT turbos, and Loyals shared variants of the EA82, and that no aftermarket performance clutches are available for these models. He also asked for some specifications on the clutch/pressure plate itself, such as input shaft diameter, spline count, clutch diameter, etc. I couldn't tell him this either. So, could you guys and girls help me put together a list showing the differences between the ea81/82's, and some technical data for the clutches so we could get some manufactured? He seemed pretty positive that if enough people were interested, they could manufacture some for us. He also asked that if people wanted to email him or call him, feel free to. His number is (928) 771-8422x30, and his email address is larryc@centerforce.com. I mentioned that I was a member of the Ultimate Subaru Club, so you might want to mention that if you contact him.

edrach Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Someone recently posted a table with disk diameters and spline counts for the various engine models. If I find it, I'll repost it.

chef_tim Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Just under $200 for the whole kit, PP, Disk, throw out and release bearing, and the aligniment tool. The one in my wifes car is acctually on it's second car. The clutch I fried at MWII was a LUK, I think guys can tell you it didn't go with out a fight.
