I did this operation a few weeks ago, and wanted to hold off before giving my report. The install itself was simple and Ultra's details, including the rag around the hose etc are important!
Clutch & tranny Set-up:
- Stock clutch & flywheel
- Clutch engagement screw adjusted, pedal slightly lower than brake pedal (I know, such empirical and accurate measurement)
- Motul 300 tranny fluid (not the best cold, but once warmed up is predictable and smooth- well documented so I won't go much into it)
- Return spring in
- Whiteline Transmission insert
- Perrin rear shifter bushing
- Mtec springs
I added this clutch slave cylinder after the aforementioned mods. Overall, it ties the whole package together imo. The clutch pedal adjustment attempted to set the overall clutch characteristics more akin to what many of us are used to; the whiteline tranny insert (as well as diff+subframe bushing kit) tightened up the drivetrain; the mtec springs and Perrin rear shifter bushing helped with providing more positive and engaged shifts. But this mod has been one of the best $50 I could have spent on the whole driveline experience. Clutch pedal is springy, yet not taxing. Even in heavy stop-and-go (I'm talking about Seattle bridge at rush hour stop and go), the engagement point makes itself known each and every time, with crisp biting points and little vague-ness about it all.
I used the OEM subaru slave cylinder detailed in earlier posts and some crush washers. I commute 100 miles a day and have really enjoyed being able to listen to music and still find the engagement point as easy as in my old WRX.
10/10 old chap!
