Want a tougher or stronger clutch in hopes that it will last a little longer than the stock 2.2 did (~83K miles), but see no need to go for a high end clutch like a stage 2 kit. It seems to me that my wagon may benefit from a stronger clutch due to the high load of the AWD drivetrain? I figure that if the 2.5 clutch has a higher clamping force and is interchangable with the 2.2, then it should suite my needs without spending an arm and a leg. I do mostly stop and go city miles and drive pretty hard from time to time, but do not slip the clutch excessively. Concerning the flywheel, since the motor spools up faster with a lighter one, then is it safe to conclude the car should accelerate faster, translating to quicker 0-60 times? Thanks.

Thanks for the info Cory. More questions... Do the 2.5 clutches have a higher holding or clamping force than the 2.2? Does the 2.2 clutch cable work with the 2.5 clutch or do I need a 2.5 cable? Any other related parts needed to upgrade the clutch? What method did you use to replace the clutch? I need to do the timing belt also, so would it be best to just pull the motor? Thanks guys. :cool:

Hello, (Newbie here) Sorry for the idiot post, but did a search and haven't found much... Is the EJ22 (2000 Impreza Outback Sport) clutch and flywheel compatible with the EJ25? What upgrade options are there for the EJ22? Is a light weight flywheel worth a darn? Expected HP gain? Got dyno results? Any problems encountered upgrading the clutch and flywheel? Is the Exedy clutch (SKU # I2030-75808) good? How about the Cobb light weight flywheel? Does it chatter? I appreciate any help concerning these issues. Thanks.
