Forester Flywheel, Kennedy 6-puck disk, 02 RS pressure plate

They all fit.
The forester flywheel was HEAVY, like 5 lbs more than stock. But it was $25 and new. The Kennedy 6 puck disk was $97, unsprung and is carbonic (?). The 02 pressure plate is virtually identical to the 90 legacy pressure plate. So is the disk and throughout bearing, but I just used the pressure plate.
I expected a bad/touchy clutch feel. Feels better than stock. Of course this is just in my driveway. So far I have driven it about 10'. I will give a better report tommorrow.

if the forester driveline items work, wrx aftermarket flywheels and clutch kits should work too. wow subarus are like legos.

After a day of driving, the unsprung disk gives back two feedbacks. Super smooth when taking off evenly, and supergrap when shifting hard. Still havent done a drag launch.

Did a drag launch today. Squealed the tires on dry asphalt.

This sounds great! How heavy is the clutch over stock to drive?

No difference.
But.....Shattered something in my tranny yesterday.
I was shifting from 6k in 1st to 2nd, but was off the gas and something went "clunk-bang".
Still drove and wasnt a gear, but I suspect something attached to the main shaft because I could shift into all gears but the "bang bang click" repeat incessently, would go away for the most part with the clutch in, and go away all the time when stopped. And had no problems in gear, except for the horrible noise coming from the tranny.
I pulled the motor yesterday (getting good, took 1 hour 15 minutes), and pulled the tranny today. Will powerwash it tommorrow and tear it apart and see what I broke.
So basically, the monster flywheel combined with the Kennedy 6-puck transfers huge torque. Too much for my 220,000 mile tranny to take.

Yeah, when selecting my clutch I got into a discussion with the sales guy, a WRX owner... he heavily recommended that I not put a puck-shaped clutch into an AWD drivetrain, that would be asking for broken parts. Otherwise, I'd have a 6-puck ceramic right now and would probably have broken my tranny as well...
(1 hour 15 mins to pull the engine?! I'm impressed)
