Clutch advice

[RallySTI]

EXEDY all the way for stock powered DD. Get the updated release bearing and Verus fork ( or new OE fork an minimum) and enjoy.

FJK1005 is the same clutch cover and clutch disc assemblies as you get from Subaru/Toyota with out the dealer markup.

TYF001 is the EXEDY part number for the OE replacement flywheel, same flywheel as we supply to Subaru and Toyota for this application.

Tried that, but it still locked me out of 1st occasionally. Never could figure out a solution for it.

***READ EDIT WARNING FIRST***

Thats odd because all the clutch can do mechanically is disengage the flywheel, but apparently it couldn’t back off enough to release the flywheel, so first could be engaged. I wonder if it was because the LWFW is so light that minimal contact is enough to get it rotating, and maybe they designed it with tight tolerances so the flywheel gets rotating sooner so engagement isn’t as jerky, and at the track first gear will never get used, so occasional 1st gear lockout isn’t an issue.

On many sports cars 1st gear engagement or lockout, and potential gear grinding is much more common until the transmission warms up. Probably a combination of fluids and tight tolerances. Again, with the racing oriented LWFW, this could get compounded.

This is all conjecture, but a bad design is also possible.

I take no pleasure in correcting this. Please at least find and watch some youtube videos on clutches.





The flywheel is bolted to the crankshaft.

That was a kind way of putting it ........

Yea I know. I’ve installed enough clutches to know. I meant to say disengage from vs disengage the.

Edit: I reread everything I wrote. I’m chalking that nonesense up to the booze and massage delirium I’m in... currently in Thailand.

Yeah the part about the light flywheel being spun easier by the "clutch" was a big red flag for me too. Otherwise I think he is on track in that the clutch isn't fully disengaging from the flywheel. It doesn't take much to make it hard as hell to shift. Bent fork or air in the line maybe.

Lol I’ve gotten that joke/warning more times than I can remember. Although, if I was going off the strength of these ladies’ fingers and their ability to stretch/contort my wife and I into all directions then I should be concerned. Thai massages are legit, next-level-of-tissue-distruction massages
