Clutch kit Luk or Exedy
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.
Pros: phenomenal function, significantly improved
Cons: consistent humming sound, low bassy hum
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
Part number: FJK1005
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.
Pros: no complaints, great alternative
Cons: cheaper options available

Excedy is OEM. I have one in my turbo car and it works great
Pros: works great, OEM quality

For 200-320 kW, we've had great success with the Exedy standard replacement kit + upgraded billet flywheel. It lets the disc use all its material without heat-sinking the flywheel which is common on oem flywheels, and we've fitted 100+ cars comfortably making 400 hp on stock gearboxes. customer feedback is the exedy standard replacement drives smooth like stock, holds power, keeps the driveline and gearbox together, shifts like butter at high rom, and has been super reliable.
Pros: smooth like stock, holds power, reliable, shifts like butter

This is normal. I'm running exedy clutch with their lightweight flywheel on my 2014 as well.
Cons: noise is normal
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
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.
Pros: less noticeable over time
Cons: noise during break-in, noticeable at 2000-3000 RPM

I had a clutch kit (LUK) put in my 1998 Ranger 2WD back in March 2025. Approximately 10,000 miles ago. Had issues with it recently and took it back to shop. Shop called today and said clutch kit is warrantied but not labor.

I bought the correct clutch kit offered on OIWA (to generation and model) which is ACTY HA4. On the OIWA website and even the Exedy website, it was described as the proper kit to replace my models clutch, but when I pulled out the OEM clutch and compared it to the replacement, it was much smaller??? Now I’m afraid that I won’t get even close to the amount of life out of that clutch that I want since around 1/8-3/16 of an inch of the clutch is not even making contact with the flywheel…
Cons: smaller than OEM, incomplete contact, concern about lifespan
