So here is the problem, i bought my 04 wrx brand new back in january. It has 11100 miles on it right now. Recently the clutch started acting up a little, you can feel a slight shudder when the car is accelerating from stop (it didn't feel like this before). So I wondering if you guys think I should take it to the dealership and do you guys think they will call it a problem and repair it under warranty? Because clutches are suppose to hold more miles then atleast 20,000, as far as I have read about. So let me know what you guys think please...

Currently Modless except for strut bars.

Also, if by chance they do repair it under warranty and offer to replace it, do you think I can ask about them replacing it with an SPT STI clutch and I will just pay the difference?

 

There is a TSB for the clutch shudder problem. It usually surfaces when the weather gets colder ... the STi clutch will give you more clutch shudder, so if you don't like that don't get it. Here is the interesting part, the clutches that give you clutch shudder are actually better, performance wise, than the weaker clutches. The shudder is a result of a higher clamping force .....
