Clutch parts / questions - Toyota vs Subaru
Looking at prices for a clutch replacement for my BRZ.
Any reason not to mix and match parts? Throw out bearing and the clutch disk are cheaper from toyota : Code:
SU00307349 - $21 vs 30502AA150 - $55 (throw out bearing) SU00300799 - $91 vs 30100AA870 - $170 (Clutch disk) Only doing the clutch because the throw out bearing started making noise. Since the trans will be off and I do have 35k miles... Thanks. |

Are you doing the work yourself or having it done at a shop or a dealership? Although they are probably the same, I'd stick with the Subaru parts. Yes, a flywheel can be resurfaced unless it's cracked or really gouged up. If the TOB hasn't gone completely bad, there is a good chance the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel are still in good shape, depending on how much (if any) the system has been abused. There is no way of knowing until you open it up. Good luck - humfrz |

mix & match is fine - different parts numbers for different companies but the same darn thing
Toyota's cheaper probably because higher volume production than subaru consider aftermarket stuff for better durability and quality

Yeah you can use Toyota parts. Or you could find cheaper Subaru parts online.
You can resurfaced the fly if needs be. It's your call once you open the tranny up.

Plan on ordering disk, pressure plate, TOB, and and will see how the flywheel looks once the trans is off. Any recommendations on a specific grease for the clutch fork? Thanks for the help! |

Why not just get an OEM replacement kit from Exedy? (Exedy manufactures the OEM clutch)
Clutch kit (Pressure plate,Clutch disc,Throw-out bearing,Alignment tool,Pilot bearing, and grease) - $213 Flywheel - $135 Priced from Rallysportdirect.com However, if all can be had from the dealer for cheaper pieced together, then I completely understand going that route.

When you order, make sure the TOB is the new, improved version.

I'm paying about the same for the Toyota/Subaru parts vs. the Exedy kit since I'm buying a TOB either way to be sure. Sounds like Eric at Verus recommends Sil-Glyde (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...3&postcount=78), it's avail at my local advance auto (25% off too) - so I'll give that a try. Thanks all. |
