Hey all,

well last night i was at the drags and on me way home i realised my clutch seemed to feel very soft and that changing into some gears seemed to be taking a while to engage, (ie. wouldnt just grab and go)

anyways..

i basically think ive f00ked the clutch or its on its way out... and am wondering how much roughly it would cost me to get a clutch thats good for 250-300hp..

(dont want full blown heavy duty as i wont need it... due to lack of turbs :) :) but i want something that is tough as nails and wont give out)

any suggestions and prices please people ?

definatley recomend auto clutch. That guy has prolli worked on every performance 'line, 180, silvia and what not else in this state. When i went down he was booked solid for two weeks with nuttin but sports cars. very reasonably priced too. expect to pay 5-600 for a heavy duty clutch. thing is, he rebuilds ur old clutch but its better then new!!!!

i had this problem trying to find wat size clutch disc i needed. from memory, some rb25de have the same size wheel as a rb20 -9inchs i think. But tthen there are some other ones which seem to have a 10inch wheel. mine had a 10 inch wheel. So u just need to pull the sucker out first and find out or hope for the best. Just abt any place will allow you to return the clutch if its the wrong size. just so long as its still in brand new condition **obviously**.

"yeah 2500lb pressure plate is quiet heavy but you do get used to it and it grabs very sharp and well"

I agree with C yar on this, I had a 2500lb, 9 puck clutch fitted by Xspeed in Myaree, cost $850 but so pleased with it,not that hard to get used too and at least you KNOW it won't give you trouble for some time :)

I went for the 9puck Ceramic w/2500lb pressure plate :) You do get used to it, but YES it is a bitch to drive in traffic. Thank god I don't do much peak driving anymore!

Paid close to $1k for it :D

      No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!

      Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?

      2004 Subaru Forester X Under Cover craziness!

      By Apache23 · Posted

      Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
