Minnesota Focus Owners Club

Never had to buy one before. I have an '02' SVT. I want the next step up from the standard stock clutch, so wondering if you have any suggestions on what kind to get and where. Would be much appreciated.

Any specific reason why you want a step up? And do you want to get a new flywheel at the same time?

I guess it doesn't matter if its a stage 2, bought the car a year ago with a soft clutch at 120k, plan on keeping the care forever so just want a good clutchh that can take a bit of beating on trips to boston haha. And yes im planning on replacing flywheel and everything.

I'm not aware of an aftermarket high performance clutch that will last longer than a stocker.

Best deal on an SVT clutch/flywheel that I know of is this one http://www.clutchcityonline.com/products/07-175.shtml

That's the same place I got mine from.

Yeah I found a couple on ebay but not sure if it's trustable

I bought my kit on eBay (LUK clutch and flywheel kit). It came brand new and no complaints. IMHO, I don't think it's necessary or practical to buy anything more than a stock replacement unless you're going to race or run forced induction.

Yeah mackey you're right haha i guess I really don't need an upgrade. So did you replace it yourself? Heard svt's are a bitch :/

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. I hired a mercenary (Focusmech) to do mine, and with my help on some stuff it still took ~8 hours. Word of advice: drop the tranny out the bottom, it minimizes the shit you have to remove.

Yes, get in touch with Dave (Focusmech) and see if he's got time to do it for you...he needs funds for his toy collection

Also, if you ever considered installing a LSD now would be the time to do it.

LSD?

I actually work at morries subaru and one of the techs here is gonna do it for $400

it isn't actually too bad i thought. i did it with my dad one weekend. used the rafters in my garage and some tow straps and a come-along to support the engine and the other to drop the trans. the hardest part was getting the axle nut loose.

but thats just me

Not gonna do the LSD don't have enough money.
