For some reason, after installing the header and tune, I was slipping the clutch a lot more than previously from stop lights. Maybe it was the filled-in torque curve, but I was having the hardest time being able to feel where the clutch was biting. I've been driving manual for 30 years, and when the car was stock I thought the clutch was on the light side but ok in feel. After the header and tune I was slipping the clutch a lot more than I intended to. This mod really restored the drivability of the clutch. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us! |

Just finished the swap today. Best mod for this car without a question. Makes a huge difference in the drivability of the car. Worth every penny. Thanks for the info !!

Finally gave this slave cylinder swap a try after owning the car for several years (prompted by driving my gf's Cooper GP which has a stiffer clutch pedal). Thanks very much for the suggestion and walk-through, this is one of my favorite mods for sure! Initial impressions are; much more predictable engagement point, shorter overall pedal travel, and slightly stiffer pedal feel. The swap took about a half hour and that's only because I decided to completely change out the old brake fluid. Parts were sourced from subaruonlineparts.com

With over 40 Kmiles of daily stop-&-go commuting, my clutch cylinders continue to work flawlessly.

I'm almost at 50k miles, just recently cooked a coil pack. Only clutch related issue I've been experiencing is a squeaky/stiff feel in the clutch pedal when I get to the last inch or so of travel. Not at all related to the slave install, by the way.

Yeah. I've had the same. Squeaky is the dry fork. Stiff is the TOB slowly gouging out the quill. Shitty design.

Has anybody put a speed bleeder on this? Is it the same size as the original slave's bleed screw?

It's just plumbing. If you can fix a faucet, this'll be a cakewalk. Cleanliness is the key factor.
