Going to be putting in a new clutch

Post by Mattheww044 »

OK guys, i got a few questions for you, and need some advice.

1. I need to swap my clutch ASAP. I was told by a few people that 02-05 wrx clutches will work.
I wasn't sure if I should go with a stage 1 f1 clutch kit for a wrx off of ebay, or buy the oem Exedy clutch replacement kit. Price is about the same (250ish).

I was also wondering if it would be worth the money to buy an aftermarket LW flywheel, if so, what do you guys recommend (is it ok to mix lw flywheel + lw pulley?)

And lastly, when I am swapping my clutch, I will be pulling the motor. I am also going to replace the motor and possibly trans. mounts, valve cover gaskets/grommets, and rear main seal. Is there anything else you guys would recommend replacing while I have the motor out?
Thanks for the help!

Matt,

Did you end up doing this work yet? Did you get my PM?

I'd go with the Exedy and the LW flywheel is kind of a preference. It does help engine acceleration, but can make the car a little more demanding in terms of concentration to drive it smoothly.
