Customer Reviews: KSB03 OEM style clutch February 25, 2010 M. Cross (Dublin, CA United States) I replaced my stock clutch after ~130k miles since the throwout bearing was audibly squeaking. Didn't want to be stranded.
So far (about 5k on it now) it feels and acts exactly like the stock clutch.
I do get some shudder on cold mornings, before the car is warmed up, but I got that with the stock clutch too. Rumor is that this is what you get if you go to the dealer, you just pay more for it. My experience is that if it's different from what you get from the dealer, it's not very different.
Works like it should,a nd super cheap! November 3, 2009 Amazonian (Midwest USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had this new clutch in my '02 WRX wagon for about a week now. It was time to replace the stock clutch after 112K miles, and this one fits the bill. It seems to grab very well, and only a little chatter if you try to engage at too low an RPM, like less than 2K. No slip with the stock engine setup. Haven't done any hard launching.
As for clutch feel, it seems lighter after the initial push, which is about the same as it used to be.
If your clutch is worn, the engagement point is closer to you, but when you have a new one installed, the engagement point is much closer to the floor.
Watch out.
I killed the engine, expecting it to start engaging much later than it does now.
This is the MFR that makes the OEM parts. I expect another 100K miles out of it.
UPDATE 12-2009:
The clutch has plenty of grab even on hard takeoffs.
Chatter is pretty strong below 2K RPM. That may be an installation problem though, not the fault of the clutch.
For the money, in my beater 114K miles WRX, this was money well spent.
