What brand clutch for a 11 WRX?

[wheelman]

My clutch is starting to slip in 5th under full throttle. What brand would you go with?

Exedy is most likely the OEM and I think they make performance clutches also.

If the disk is not worn to the rivets, the pressure plate is more likely not providing adequate clamping force. For performance oriented street cars, it is perfectly OK to use a stock clutch disk for the nice anti vibration qualities, and smooth engagement, along with a pressure plate with a touch more clamping force. I do this often.

Put another way, you could go with a clutch disk that has more friction. But there is almost always a downside. As engagement and release are often more abrupt and the stronger springs transmit more engine vibration.

It very likely could be that. I plan on doing it all. I just wonder what brand to go with.

Not exactly as performance oriented as yours, but I redid the clutch on a 97 Legacy Wagon and used Luk parts with great success. Here it is on RA. Good luck.

Just put an Exedy in the Mazda. Not performance oriented, but working nicely.

Well i orded a Sachs it was the only one I could get in a reasonable amount of time. Hopefully it works well.

Interestingly, the Exedy and Sachs looked the same for the Mazda. Apparently I snagged the last Exedy which was quite a bit cheaper for this application.
