Hey,
I have a 2004 2.5rs with 87,000 miles on it. I drove down to the Bay area and i noticed at lower elevation that it seemed like my clutch was slipping in 3rd 4th and 5th. When i drive back up to Tahoe which is like 4500FT i didnt notice it anymore. Anyway i believe that i need a new clutch and i wanted to do the work myself, i haven't never replaced a clutch before. I couldn't find any write ups on the topic and was wondering if this a bad way to go. Im not sure what clutch kit i should go with ive looked at the ACT clutch kit and just the OEM Wrx clutch but im not sure if it has the same dimensions. Does anyone have any experience with ACT? I would like a stiffer clutch feel but still want the car to be forgiving because my little brother will be buying the car soon.
Thanks in Advance

 

Bump.

 

Until you can explain the various things wrong with these sentences, don't go cracking open your transaxle (what's that you may ask? Well...). Not trying to be a dick, just saying it's one of those things where if you have to ask, best you leave it to professionals, for the safety of yourself and others.

For the time alone saved, it will be worth it, and so far as Subies go, get used to paying more for parts and service if that's the impetus for the DIY. Start small, like changing oil, if just getting your feet wet is your goal. Crawl then run.

HTH

 

Agreed; you shouldn't be doing something like a clutch if you don't know anything about it, or at least have seen a few done...or even helped.
