This ACT street sprung replacement clutch disc is a top - choice performance disc for your Subaru. It fits 2002 - 2017 WRX, 2005 - 2012 Legacy GT (including 2006 - 2009 Legacy GT Spec B), and 2005 - 2009 Outback XT. Made of premium organic materials with high copper content, it transfers heat better. This disc enables quicker shifting and smooth engagement. With a reduced marcel, it speeds up shift action to match ACT pressure plates. Its spring - centered assemblies use bushings and cone springs like factory clutch discs, creating frictional dampening that extends clutch life and cuts down noise. You'll enjoy quiet operation along with increased strength and reliability.
**Feel**: Smooth engagement, quicker shifts, with OE to mild gear rattle.
**Recommended Use**: Ideal for both street and race use.
**ACT Difference**: Steel - backed linings for higher burst strength and a reduced marcel for quicker shifts.
**FAQ**:
- **Daily driving with ACT Race puck - style disc**: ACT's race discs are too aggressive for daily driving. They have a harsh engagement, causing judder and noise when starting from a stop. They're meant for professional races only. For street use, an organic disc is recommended for smoother engagement and long - lasting performance.
- **When to replace the clutch disc**: Most new discs are 0.312 - 0.315 inches (7.93 - 8.00 mm) thick, and should be replaced when they reach 0.275 inches (7.00 mm) or less. Some Audi and BMW applications start at 0.332 - 0.335 inches (8.43 - 8.50 mm) and should be replaced below 0.295 inches (7.50 mm). Measure with a micrometer. For organic street discs, fully compress the engagement cushion. Replace the disc if the lining rivets touch the flywheel or pressure plate.
**Fitment Notes**:
- 2002 models need an ACT flywheel or a 2003 - 2005 factory flywheel (not included).
- 2004 and 2005 (230mm) models must use an ACT flywheel or a 2003 - 2005 WRX flywheel.
- Starting mid - 2018MY (VIN J*806877), Subaru's 240mm clutch components aren't compatible with ACT discs.
- 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT and 2006 - 2008 Forester XT need a 2006 - 2014 WRX flywheel for proper fit.
**Using Your ACT Clutch Disc**:
Install the disc following the fitment notes carefully. Make sure you use the right flywheel for your vehicle model year. Once installed, you'll notice smooth engagement and quicker shifts. It's suitable for both street driving and race use.
**Maintenance Tips**:
Regularly check the thickness of the disc with a micrometer. If it gets too thin, it's time to replace it. Also, keep an eye on the lining rivets. If they touch the flywheel or pressure plate, replace the disc immediately.
**Important Precautions**:
Don't use an ACT Race puck - style disc for daily driving. It's too aggressive and will cause an uncomfortable driving experience. And always use the correct disc thickness for your pressure plate to avoid poor performance.
