wrx racing clutch

[mikewrxturbo]

Hi guys I picked up my wrx wagon yesterday and it's great I love it but it had an expensive racing clutch on it.

now I'm not sure if it's me but it's really weird to get used to , I have had 5 other subarus and they were all so easy to drive but this one with the different clutch seems to be all or nothing when pulling away in first gear making it a little tricky on steep hill starts. I'm sure I'll get used to it but just wondered if it was normal ?.

Thanks.

Racing clutches when I used to have them on another car were nicknamed snatch clutches and yes they were pretty unpleasant to drive especially in traffic. Just need loads of revs to prevent stalling. They're not really designed for road use.

Is it worth putting a normal clutch back on ? And could I sell the racing one or would no one be interested ?.

Thanks.

I couldn't answer that I'm not sure what it's worth of anything. There's people with more knowledge about subaru specifics than me, I've just had a race clutch before. Were it me, I'd probably change it for a sports clutch, sort of half way house. But that's going to cost a few quid I would imagine. Depends really if you can put up with it or not as to whether that cost is worthwhile

As Dog said sounds like a sports setup would be a better option for you or dependant on mods the car has a standard wrx clutch would be enough

Sounds like a paddle clutch to me mate.I have one in mine a 6 puk and to be honest I think there ok to use.Took a few days getting used to it though lol.My missus uses it as the daily runner as well ;)

Yeah the guy said something About it being 6 something clutch lol.

To be honest I have been out In it all day and it's been way easier today .

I had an Opel Manta with a full race clutch, I used it daily for work, the clutch wasn't much fm in traffic but I got used to it, some people don't. If you're ok, save he cash for something else.
