Time For A New Clutch
« on: June 14, 2006, 01:58:58 PM »
We need a drivetrain forum, so since there isn't one I'll be obnoxious and post this here. Yes, it is a dup from clubwrx.net
--------------


The STi now has 72,000 miles on it, and the clutch is beyond spent. To the point where the throwout bearing squeeks audibly outside (and inside) the car.

So what are my options? Even if I have some mileage left in this clutch (probably not much), since I drive 100+ miles a day I'd like to have a fresh one in there for the next 70,000 miles.

What are my options?

Does anyone know the rough cost of another factory clutch?

How about aftermarket alternatives in the same price range?

My car is all stock, and will remain that way. I just want durability, driveability (about like the stock clutch, a bit stiffer is acceptable), and reliability.

Thanks :)

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

Thats sort of what I was thinking but I figured "While (someone) has it apart, why not... "

Now I just need to wait for Fred to chime in :-D
