Hi guys, Just got my 2014 pearl white Subaru Brz (Manual Trans) about a month ago.

I learned how to drive stick in this car, and it currently has about 11,200 miles. I bought it used with 8500 miles, and am the happiest guy right now, great car. Anyways, I recently ran into a problem with my clutch one day out of no where going really soft on me. when I originally bought the car it was fine. I did learn in this car and I know that puts alot of strain on the clutch but I learned really quick and am now able to drive with no problems, plus i've only put like 3k miles on it. Unfortunately after the clutch feeling super soft, the car revs up slower, and I am afraid that the cars clutch is slipping. The clutch still catches but barely, and it just doesnt pull like it did before the softer clutch. I'm going to get a shop to look at it soon and see what the deal is. when I was learning MT, I wasn't driving the car recklessly. then again I am the second owner and IDK how the person before me drove.

Hopefully I don't need a new clutch, but I'm preparing for the worst. Any suggestions on aftermarket clutch kits? thanks guys
