You should totally do a video on that fly wheel. Debating getting the same one and I'd love to hear and see more about it.

I just had a flex fuel kit put in yesterday and I already feel my clutch slipping 15 miles after the kit was installed I have 26, 000 miles on the car I was afraid this was going to happen. Before the flex fuel kit I was at stage 2 with a pro tune but I didn't have any problems with the clutch until now. my shop wants 17 hundred bucks for a clutch installed .

Have a 2016 wrx that I have at stage 2 since last fall and at 37000 miles no issues with the stock clutch yet. But after watching your video I better plan on this being a issue for me sooner than later. This is my 6th manual car and never had to replace a clutch before but those cars did not have the power this car has.

Been driving Manuel for 10yrs, my subi clutch started slipping at 35000 miles..

I have my group N transmission mount and whiteline positive shift kit on the way. as well as a boomba short shift plate. I've been really looking into doing the AEM water meth kit but my budget is holding me back right now lol

[lucadrago]

after putting in a lightweight flywheel, did you need a tune?

[subieknurd]

Did you/do you have issue with gear rattle? I have the same ACTSB11-HDSS clutch/flywheel on my 15 WRX and have around 800 miles on it so far. I am getting A LOT of gear rattle when letting off the gas at any RPM's over 3000 (seems to be the worst in the 2500-3000 range). I know a lightweight flywheel will cause gear rattle but I mean mine is pretty bad... I had a 13 WRX with an aftermarket competition clutch/flywheel setup and it was NOWHERE near as bad... :(

Got a used modified dyno tuned on e85 2015 wrx…yes I know…dumb move, has stage 3 clutch kit from act, 18 days later clutch broke I did notice the bite point was pretty close to the floor, I can drive normal clutch like nothing, now I’m on the hook for estimated 2400 dollar clutch replacement, I’m putting the same stage 3 act clutch kit in it, it makes 395 at crank and 350 at the wheels…I’ve never stalled it never noticed a burning smell and definitely no grinding and no slipping.. I’m worried tho when I get it back I need to drive 2 hours back home, mind you I drive pretty conservatively I’m worried as hell that I’m guna break the clutch because of how quickly it went out on me…no warning signs at all it was just there one min and gone the next, yall think it was fucked from the day I bought it or was it damaged by me driving like an old lady? I need some advice it’s my first Subaru and it makes a good amount of power I’m just worried that I’m guna break it so idk what to really do

Nice video. Nice car. I have the same clutch in my '15 WRX, but stayed with an OEM flywheel. It's been in for about 1, 400 mi now and it's still kind of annoying... especially on any sort of incline. Confident it's fine, just anxious for it to start feeling normal again. About how many miles did yours take until it was good?

Hey you had your prl charge pipe for a while, how is it holding up? I just recently installed mine last week and the gains are impressive. 15whp and 7wtq from a retune. I wasn't expecting that much since I already have tgv/egr deletes, and 3 port with protune. Clamps and coupler still in good condition, leaks?
And thanks for the clutch information, I was going to upgrade mine soon once I go meth injection. When that does happen I'll most likely pm you if you're still doing those meth kits.

[secdream]

Thanks for the update and feedback. What transmission fluid did you put it?

[nathanneudecker]

Have you thought about picking up the Perrin pitch mount brace at all? I'm still paranoid about mine breaking, will probably be my next "mod"...

[dnawrapsatl]

My clutch pedal is a bit off lately. Not getting much feedback in the pedal any tips? Could it just be fluid?

[nickslosubi]

What kind of power are you making? I can imagine you moved the peak higher to save the rods. im on cobbs ots stage 2 map atm and not sure if I should move to a protune and some mods or what lol. thanks in advance!

[nabatron]

Is it quite a noticeable difference with the group n tranny mount? I'm thinking about doing it on my wrx as well! Is there noticeable noise with it on?

[MatthewMaranan]

Dude, Derek your car is such a well built machine! I'm hoping to build my motor on that IAG Stage 3 and then get on e85 as there are ample amount of stations near me....or Meth :D Can I ask why you went with that clutch as opposed to other brands? I'm a clutch noob.

[vthach]

Should I put oem clutch for a basic stage 2 tune ots map

[PuseyPatrol]

any videos on clutch install i dont have money to pay shop and i have a shop with 2 lifts at my house

[echardcore]

Did you do the work on a lift or jack stands?

[enrique]

The more I watch Subaru WRX/STI videos the more I'm convinced I'll never buy a used one. All of them abused.
