Clutch kit Exedy or VALEO

The Valeo kit is a good one. I believe they are an OEM supplier.

Can vouch for the Valeo Kit just installed mine last month.

I have the Valeo hd kit on my 3.8 and it’s nice.

Excedy HD is my go-to. Extra clamping force, no massive change in drive ability, reasonable price.

Every element I test drove had a heavy mushy clutch. The throw out bearing on mine went before the clutch, then replaced with an exedy oem kit and it feels way better.

I just had the clutch replaced this week with the Exedy FJK1005 OEM kit. Since yesterday I have noticed a consistent humming sound whenever the vehicle is decelerating/coasting in gear. This goes away when the throttle is engaged and I accelerate. It's a very consistent low bassy hum, no rattle or metallic clanking. Only happens when in gear and throttle not engaged. I've read that the Exedy dampers in the clutch disc don't block as much sound as the OEM Subaru ones. Besides this the actual function of the clutch is phenomenal and significantly improved from the old worn one. New Exedy flywheel as well.

Also it’s an Exedy oem replacement kit. To be more specific, I know some travel is normal without the slave installed. The issue is that the fork and bearing don’t even make contact with the pressure plate until the slave is almost completely extended.

Clutch kit i used was FJK1005. Both will work for you. Only have about 10k miles on it, feels the same as stock.

The Valeo clutch kit is absolute garbage. It will make the car rattle and vibrate like crazy. Get a FX250 Kevlar clutch with a steel single mass flywheel from clutch masters. A lot less noise, lasts a lot longer.

Your clutch only lasted 2.5 years?Either you have poor driving habits or maybe you need to buy a better clutch kit
