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.
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.
Clutch kit i used was FJK1005. Both will work for you. Only have about 10k miles on it, feels the same as stock.
Totally normal, been running a exedy stage 1 for 18k miles with this noise. Very pronounced in 5th gear 3k rpm to around 2.5k in my car
This is normal. I'm running exedy clutch with their lightweight flywheel on my 2014 as well.
Just had an Exedy stage 1 kit installed on my GR86 a couple weeks ago, had the same concerns as well. It's definitely been less noticable as I've run through the break-in period, though it was happening fairly often the first few days. General consensus from what I could find is that it happens between 2000-3000 RPM, which is exactly what I've noticed driving my car.
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.
Exedy stock clutch kit will be a good deal cheaper (assuming these are OEM parts). Also, an ACT StreetLite flywheel is cheaper and a great alternative. I’ve had one for a couple of years and I have no complaints.
Motivated by being able to drive my daily driver again I just went with what the mechanic recommended, failed to do the research. Now regretting driving experience on replacement kit with exedy single mass flywheel, and it looks like they had a dual mass kit that was only like $100 more.
Somehow engages later than the failing factory clutch, and shudders. Haven't felt like such an idiot driving a manual in 22 years
