Dino Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Doing a clutch on these 4x4s is a pig of a job. If I were you I'd get some advice from an expert before attempting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah I agree with Dino. I've never Done one always just paid for it because I know there a pig to do and with no set of ramps to work under i just don't fancy it. But between. 350 to 400 for a cluth supplied and fitted ftom most place's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2014 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I wouldn't say I was showing off.As soon as people hear the word 4wd and clutch it puts people off.Subarus are so easy to work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2014 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I don't have a style as such.My approach is !Removed! my clutch is knackered I better change it.I dragged mine out on purpose over a week,For one the weather was !Removed! and didn't want a cold back and be ill and the second reason was I was off all week so no need to rush.I could have !Removed! it in a day in my back garden.I actually enjoyed doing it.Today I had to do a run to leeds in an artic I got back to Manchester about 10.30 this morning my boss said do you fancy changing a radiator on a Daf cf I said ok.Ive never touched one in my life but I did it.I think its how you go about things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 If yours is dual mass I in my opinion would convert to a solid flywheel for one reason it would save you a chunk of money and the second reason being its just as good as a dual mass set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Exedy all day long, standard one is good enough and not expensive, avoid paddle clutches unless you want to end up with constant whiplash and also everyone thinks that you cannot drive as there jerky as hell at low speed.

Banks Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks guys I was looking at the exedy clutches one wit a lightend flywheel I want to get the car up to about 300 hp it's currently 265 because its a pro drive I've looked and looked but can't seem to work out what one I need any help or a link or the best place to buy from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Exedy stage 1 clutch kit. Wouldn't bother with lightened flywheel on road car but nice refinishing/skimming on current one is a must for a proper job. Like Ricky says the box on the subaru as damn easy, far easier than many front wheel drive cars & you have quite good room around it for working. Other plus is nut & bolt quality is far better than french & german tat & some thought on dismantling is visible in sizing & design of things so compared to a hdi pug it an absolute pleasure of a job :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banks Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks guys Ok so I had a guy that skimmed a head for me he can do the skimming on the fly wheel now I just need to find the clutch I have a 5 speed gearbox and the car is a 2005 any ideas I looked but all seem to be for before 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a region of about 150-220. And the work take about 5.5-6 hours by a mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
