I just got back from www.worldoneperformance.com where i got my new excedy organic OE replacement clutch and ACT Street Light Flywheel installed.

First Impression..

Well my old clutch was shot.. 10,000 miles of Stage 2.5 Power (VF-34) and 50,000 miles total it was slipping in each gear and i was lucky if i hit .6 bar without it slipping.

As i got in the car and pushed the clutch in in the parking lot i noticed it felt a little different.. went to the floor smoother.. As i put it in reverse and started to let out the clutch.. oh wait! it had already engaged.. as i had though the friction point has changed.. jerking me a little.. but not to bad..

Gettin on the freeway felt good.. all the power was solid and shifting at around 3,500 from 1 to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, the car really felt like it wanted to go as the clutch came back out.

The flywheel was great.. seems like it revs a little faster.. nothing to special.. but you can tell, the rpms do fall faster from 3000 rpms and below for sure though.

After having the clutch in for over a week.. its still nice to drive and i have gotten used to it.. i cant believe i was driving the car with the condition my old clutch was in.

If any of you need a good replacement clutch and flywheel i would strongly encourage this setup.. which can be purchased from Garrett @ W1 www.worldoneperformance.com

Of course once i purchase and install my PPG gears sometime in 07 i will go with a little stiffer clutch.. but for those of you WRX owners (specially 02) i would have to say this is a good SAFE setup.

Great Review! now i think when my clutch goes out. ill be definately considering one of those.

did you have them do the install or did you do it by your self?

how much did it cost you total?

I had World One Install it this time. I helped my friend do a clutch install on his 02 last April... After that i decided that i would just pay the money to have it done... didnt feel like wrenching for two days straight when it was time for the replacement. It isnt a hard install really.. just lots of things you have to do.. and what not.. with the right instructions its very doable, oh yes and a lift..

Laying on your back trying to drop the tranny sucks

All together for the clutch, flywheel and install it was 1000$ plus tax.. not to bad.

Great info.....

and as soon as someone comes out with a clutch for the 06s...

I'm definitely going to look into this when THAT time comes. Hopefully not soon because although the price is good I can't afford it right now. :) lol

Nice review, as this si the setup I will be getting soon too...as my clutch is getting bad. I also have Cobb AP stage 2.5 but with a VF30:)

The only "downside" of this set up is the noise in certain gears at certain rpms... 3rd at 3500 in particular... a little rattle.. nothing that is bad or too loud.. but definantly there!
