Looks like I'll be needing a clutch then...
 
My clutch is slipping a little and want to get it replaced but there's two different sizes, 225 and 230. I assume one is for WRX and one for STI but I get the impression Ebay is contradicting itself by saying both will fit. Which do I need for my bug WRX? I don't want to upgrade as shes pretty standard so I'm guessing best to go for an excedy organic? Cheers folks

230 is late classic and new age and 225 is early classic, although the 225 does fit newage it's better to fit 230 to your bug

230 it is then. Cheers Dan!

Bugger! If it wasn't for the little problems the forum is having at the moment i'd have bought one. Got it from ebay half an hour ago, couple of quid more expensive but its on its way. Thanks anyway

I've just had a chat with a guy at Austec in Crawley as i asked for a quote for fitting. I fully expected this to be expensive but thought i'd ask regardless. He reckons theres a choice of two clutches for mine but won't know which one to fit til he's got the old one out. Is this right? If so, i might have ordered the wrong one... that'll be annoying!

nope there is only one fitment - what have you bought??

I wouldnt use austec mate i used them a few years ago and wasnt very impressed i had a cambelt fitted and a remap done they scratched the front bumper and didnt put the cambelt covers back on properly i also had to take the car back 3 times due to it pinking on boost after the remap

Austec were expensive as expected so didn't hold much hope. They've done work on my dads Tuscan before and he's always been pleased so could have well improved since you went Dom. Regardless, it's going to East Sussex mobile services in the morning as the clutch kit turned up today ��

Good choice mate stewart is a top bloke and knows his stuff will be getting him to stick a clutch in mine after crimbo

+ 1 for Stuart, only round the corner from me and he's brilliant, won't charge you over the odds and as Dom says he really knows his stuff.

Wooooo, all fitted, flywheel skimmed and a new bearing too. Feels like a new car! Happy days.
