jread Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Looking to buy a new clutch and just wondering what the difference is for the xt6 clutch. I've ej swapped my car so looking for a bit better clutch. I was looking at this one on Rock Auto which has 24 Splines vs the normal 21 for the dual range. Is this the only difference for the XT6 Clutch? Mostly asking as this one isn't listed under XT6 but the one that is has 24 splines and thats the only difference I can tell. EXEDY 15008 Info 4WD; Disc mm 225; Disc in 8-7/8; Splines Dia 1; Splines 24 (Only 2 Remaining) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jread Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Also any preference for Brute Power vs Excedy vs Beck Arnley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 If you want more holding power, you have to have your EA82 flywheel stepped to the ER27 specs, use the XT6 pressure plate and an EA82 disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jread Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Whats different about the step? Is the 24 spline vs 21 spline better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I believe the ER27 has a smaller step. The ER27 pressure plate has more clamping force. The discs are the same except for the spline count. That spline count is only for the ER27 with the 5spd AWD trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 They don't make the xt6 stuff anymore just use the exedy 15008 kit. Otherwise you have to source new old stock to get the pressure plate which is pretty hard to do at this point. The xt6 pressure plates in the kits they make now are the same as a ea82.

jread Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) They have a 24 spline count for the go listed on rock auto. I guess I'm sol. That excedy is the one I listed but not sure what that spline count is. Is it of the input shaft? I definitely need the 24 then? Also there is a luk with the same part number thats 60 bucks less. Lots of people seem to recommend them might as well give it a try! Edited October 20, 2016 by jread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yes, you need the 24 spline, the 21 spline is a 2wd clutch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That's good info Turbosubarubrat. I did not know they weren't producing them. I did read here somewhere that someone had shortened the step on their EA82 flywheel like a 1/16th of an inch to gain more clamping force with the EA82 clutch st up.

jread Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Going to get the LUK one, have read quite a few good reviews and its quite a bit cheaper! Thanks for all the info. Guess I'll be sticking with regular strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The XT6 flywheel step is 0.815. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan K Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Even if you get an XT6 pressure plate from your local Subaru parts department, when you open the box you find a VALEO pressure plate with the same part number as the EA82. And no, they dont take returns. Learned that one the hard way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 And according to my local dealer, there's no more XT6 pressure plates left. Luckily I have a few spare XT6 fywheels, discs and pressure plates in my stash :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
