El Presidente Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I ordered a couple XT6 clutches through amazon the other day and got a email back saying that exedy discontinued part 15009, which is a XT6 clutch. The retailer was Performance Parts Place. I can go with a beck/arnley, but I haven't heard the best things about these clutches If OEM clutches are exedy, that also means you can't get one from the dealer....where are you guys getting yours? I got two ea-ej swaps around the corner and no clutches:banghead: Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But beck and arnley I've heard good things about them. That's what I've seen most people buy. Rockauto is where I buy almost all my random parts for cheaper than every where else. And they have codes for 5-10% off which makes it nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I went with a Sachs XT6 clutch kit that I ordered locally for my EJ22 swap. Not enough miles on it yet to comment on longevity, but it feels/works great so far. GD has said just to buy the XT6 pressure plate from the dealer. I have no idea if they can still get them - pretty spendy option last time I priced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'subaru Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I bought my exedy kit here. Might be worth an e mail to see if anymore are available. http://subaruxt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12034&p=134788&hilit=+T%27subaru+exedy+15009#p134788 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I can go with a beck/arnley, but I haven't heard the best things about these clutches I've had 3 of them, 2 behind EJ22s, and a third in an XT6. Loved 'em. Will be getting one for the brat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I've had no problems with the 4wd EA82 clutch and the Flywheel machined to the XT6 spec. (shallower step, which makes the PP clamp tighter) IIRC 4cyl vs 6cyl .890 vs .815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 I've had no problems with the 4wd EA82 clutch and the Flywheel machined to the XT6 spec. (shallower step, which makes the PP clamp tighter) IIRC 4cyl vs 6cyl .890 vs .815 After talking around, I've decided to do exactly this. Do you by any chance know how far you can go under the .890" spec.? .075" under spec seems like a lot, when I planned to start at .010" under spec after talking with a clutch rebuilder! Thanks for the input Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input Josh If he's an ARBA memeber he should have access to the specs for EA82 4wd and ER27(6cyl) flywheel specs. JUst tell him to use the XT6 spec.

El Presidente Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 If he's an ARBA memeber he should have access to the specs for EA82 4wd and ER27(6cyl) flywheel specs. JUst tell him to use the XT6 spec. I was asking if you knew how far under .890 spec you can go. I've gathered that .815 works on a ea82 4wd clutch, but I was looking for the limitations, if you've gone past .075" under. I used to be an auto machinist and wouldn't consider taking anything to anyone that wasn't ARBA certified. Thanks for the help Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I used a Paraut disc and reused the PP and resurfaced the flywheel. Not entirely the proper way to do it but it seems to be fine. My disc was worn out but the PP surface looked good still. Got mine through WorldPac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
