2002 wrx clutch slipping

[nattywrx]

Hwy guys just bought an 02 wrx with 80k miles!!! I love the car! But the first thing I noticed is that the clutch is slipping. I tested it buy going from 1st to 3rd and then flooring it and it slipped after 3500-4000 rpm. I'm going to be driving it very carefully until the clutch fully goes out. I want to get a new stock clutch since I have heard and read many stories on this forum with people getting a stage 2 and then boom there goes there drivetrain. So any info on where is the best place to get an oem clutch would be great! thanks!

Is the oem exedy clutch any good?

If you are 100% sure it is the clutch slipping than I would highly recommend a stock replacement, anything more depending on what it is can usually handle more torque, than bango! a few engine mods and chances are 1st or 2nd gear are toast. I have the original stock exedy clutch in my 02' and its still holding strong...somehow haha

Yes I am 100% sure its slipping. I am definitly going to go with the stock replacement since I am not looking to make crazy power or anything. So the exedy oem replacement is a good clutch to go with correct?

Yes, however I would source it other than a dealership fore you will most def. pay top dollar there...I would prob also replace the flywheel as opposed to seeing how it looks and poss. getting it machined. I bought a SACHS clutch and flywheel for my legacy from this place...
