Any (easy) way to stiffen up the feel of the clutch?
I love my new BRZ, but with the soft clutch its hard to know when the tranny couples with the engine. Is there some way I can adjust the clutch so I get more feel out of it?

Check if there's a clutch delay valve; unhooking that will give you more direct and less dampened clutch feel.
|
Make sure to post if you find an answer because I definitely would like a little more clutch feel....

Honestly, when I just got the car I thought that it was needed too, but after roughly 500 miles I got used to it and don't think this is needed.

That depends on what you consider "easy". The easiest solution would be to wait for some aftermarket clutch company to make a more heavily sprung clutch, buy it and pay someone else to install it for you. Alternatively, find out the bore of the stock clutch master cylinder (it should be stamped into the side of the MC), then get a larger bore clutch master cylinder for some other Subaru and hope it fits.

(I don't have the car yet...) If it is like my previous IS300, there could be a tiny damper between the master and the slave in the engine, you just unscrew it, put a fitting to connecter the two ends together, and boom 100% more clutch feel.

Torque pulses from the crankshaft cause vibrations in the flywheel that are transferred through the clutch release mechanism during clutch (dis)engagement. These vibrations travel through the clutch hydraulic line, through the master cylinder and into the pedal where they can be felt and sometimes heard by the driver. The damper gets rid of these vibrations. It doesn't change the pedal effort, it just disconnects you a little from the clutch. It's a bit like steering rack bushings; the car turns the same with soft bushings but you don't get the same direct feedback/response feeling you would have with stiffer bushings. On some cars, they are also set up to restrict the maximum flow rate of fluid from the slave cylinder to the master cylinder as a sort of anti-clutch-drop measure to help keep transmissions in one piece. A prime example is the WRX: 2002 = no damper, 2003 = damper. |
