Re: How many miles on your stock clutch

I'm at 114k on the stock clutch and it's still holds very well, but it does make a little noise when cold at idle, hopefully it lasts a while yet  unamused

Re: How many miles on your stock clutch

77K miles.  I have the infamous "squeak" when engaging first gear (not always, maybe about half the time).  Otherwise it seems good.  No slipping.  Will probably replace rotors (still OEM) at 90K miles.

Haha, her clutch is giving out now at 167k miles.

Any suggestions for a stock clutch/flywheel setup?  I see a lot of people have used the Exedy KSB03 clutch kit, but what about for a new flywheel?  I want to minimize chatter and get as close to stock as possible for her.

Thanks.

Re: How many miles on your stock clutch

101,000+... been stage 1 since like 10,000 miles and went stage 2 at like 25,000 miles.  I drive mostly highway but do get on the car a decent amount.... I just take it easy on the clutch most of the time.

Re: How many miles on your stock clutch

Just hit 137k miles, no issues.  Been stage 2 for about 5k miles now.  I'm interested to see how long it holds up, glad to see most have great life from their clutches.

Re: How many miles on your stock clutch

Replaced mine recently at 80k.  Wasn't slipping, just took care of it preemptively.

Re: How many miles on your stock clutch

I'm the third owner of my Linear, 112k miles this week, I've noticed it only slips in 2nd gear under heavy acceleration and within the first 10 mins of starting the car cold. I plan on replacing all fluids soon and some other toys...


This is MY Saabaru. There are many like it, but this one is MINE!
