clutch for svx conversion
ok so i got my transmission (05 RS 5 speed hydro) and I got a FW out of an early Legacy at Harry's so what clutch should I buy for my swap? Basically can I buy a WRX clutch or??? and what "stage" do you think is best? Which clutches are crap and which are good? I have been looking on ebay and well there are a few choices on there.
Thanks for any help and advise.

Re: clutch for svx conversion
I grabbed a ClutchMasters FX100. 70% more grip than 2.5RS (my transaxle's origin) stock... 165hp*1.7=280... That's more than enough.

Re: clutch for svx conversion
I run a stock WRX clutch and it works fine, but a WRX clutch will not work with a Non turbo transmission.

Re: clutch for svx conversion
I used an Exedy KSB04. Check and see if it fits your application. Mine was a 07 impreza 2.5i transmission, so a couple years newer but the KSB04 might work for you as well. The KSB04 is also used with the EZ30R I believe it is, so more that enough bite (mine only slips when its my fault, i.e. letting off the clutch too slowly while pressing the gas, but as soon as I let off the clutch all the way it's solid). It is an Exedy OEM replacement, which is supposed to hold about 30% more power than the stock clutch, and it's at a very good price point. And I just looked it up and wallah... 1999-2005 impreza RS.

Allso I think the flywheel is different. I used a Exedy OEM replacement KSB03 I think.

Re: clutch for svx conversion
So, if swapping a WRX 5-speed, use the WRX flywheel and clutch and everything is good-to-go?

Re: clutch for svx conversion
Thanks,
I have an STI pedal set, hydro and slave. Only need a clutch and pressure plate, plus mount and shifter. It's for Jon's silver, 4.111 aren't enough fun for a college student , clearly evidenced by many college students here Quote:

They really do make just about every Subaru feel worlds better, especially the SVX.

Re: clutch for svx conversion
I'm running a spec stage 2 for an impreza nonturbo. This is my first 5mt so learning on it wasn't bad, but learning how to drive smoothly was another story. One year later and I can drive it pretty smoothly. I recommend the group n motor mount and trans mount. That way you won't have to replace it again. I haven't noticed any noticeable noise or vibrations from the new mounts.

Re: clutch for svx conversion
You'll need a clutch for an impreza non-turbo. I used a Spec Stage 2 on mine. Loved it.
