97ej22 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 What's a good stock replacement clutch that's farily cheap for my 97 obw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I usually get the Valeo "better" kit. By that I mean it's like another 20 bucks to get all the parts mad ein the USA or Japan (ie no Chinese or other crappy parts). I used to the the Rhino Pak cluthc kits locally but typically the clutch plate and often the pressure plate were Valeo and that kit cost like 250. Online with a complete Valeo kit IIR I could save about 100 bucks. But I haven't done one in a year and a half. Perhaps someone with other oprions and more recent experience can also answer.

Fairtax4me Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I bought the cheapest Valeo kit I could find when I needed one. Has't worked out that great. Very chattery when it's hot, and it doesn't take long to get it hot either, especially with the hills around here. But I think the only Valeo part was the disc, and it was Korean made. Maybe the American made parts are better quality, I don't know. Exedy and Valeo make OE clutches for Subaru. So the parts you get from a dealer are likely to be the same parts as what are on Ebay.

wavekayaker Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I've had good luck with Exedy. I've found the kits for ~ $120 online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Go to Ebay and look for Grip Force, I've used 6 or more of there Exedy kits and I've been happy. Make sure you surface the flywheel and re-seal the air/oil seperator plate on the back of the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Exedy all the way.. btw check the prices on amazon I found them (at least for my year) to be the cheapest out of all the other online stores.. ($124 vs $168) For the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davebugs Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Don't forget the clips? A couple bucks at the dealer. Everything else will be new. And I've seen them fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

211 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I just replaced the clutch in my 2k OBW less than 1500 miles ago. I bought this one from Clutch City http://www.clutchcityonline.com/products/15-021.shtml Couldn't be any happier. I noticed an IMMEDIATE difference just backing out of the driveway the first time. So much easier to depress and smoother, no more judder either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
