Owner reviews for clutch kit

Wouldn’t trust anything but the luk kit at this point. Ur talking maybe $100 difference for something that might be fine be something proven to be oem quality.

Excedy HD is my go-to. Extra clamping force, no massive change in drive ability, reasonable price.

Every element I test drove had a heavy mushy clutch. The throw out bearing on mine went before the clutch, then replaced with an exedy oem kit and it feels way better.

I got the Aisin kit from YotaShop and it was affordable and drives great

So, if you just take that flywheel to a machine shop to scuff it up, lathe it down to have a perfect fresh surface, you can just put a new LuK or Sachs clutch kit on it.

If you're planning under 400tq, I'd go for the SPEC clutch kit that re-uses the dual mass flywheel to keep the drivability and ease of use.

I just had the clutch replaced this week with the Exedy FJK1005 OEM kit. Since yesterday I have noticed a consistent humming sound whenever the vehicle is decelerating/coasting in gear. This goes away when the throttle is engaged and I accelerate. It's a very consistent low bassy hum, no rattle or metallic clanking. Only happens when in gear and throttle not engaged. I've read that the Exedy dampers in the clutch disc don't block as much sound as the OEM Subaru ones. Besides this the actual function of the clutch is phenomenal and significantly improved from the old worn one. New Exedy flywheel as well.

Totally normal, been running a exedy stage 1 for 18k miles with this noise. Very pronounced in 5th gear 3k rpm to around 2.5k in my car

This is normal. I'm running exedy clutch with their lightweight flywheel on my 2014 as well.

The Valeo clutch kit is absolute garbage. It will make the car rattle and vibrate like crazy. Get a FX250 Kevlar clutch with a steel single mass flywheel from clutch masters. A lot less noise, lasts a lot longer.
