Montreal Subaru Club

Salut,
I have a 2009 sti with 120000km on it... I want to know how many KM usually before a clutch change is needed? I dont do any rally or racing..

On my civic si was about 160000 and my type-s same thing.. just wondering about the sti.

any help?

It all depends of your driving... Hard to answer that one ...

Usually a clutch is supposed to last the lifetime of the car. It all depends on how the person drives the car. How many people do you see still backing up slap it in first and use the clutch as brakes to slow and then go off! Changing brakes is cheaper than changing a clutch at 60 000km intervals!

Also, how many do you hear slipping clutches between gear shifts. I hear it often with Civics with fart cans!

Most don't rev match when they down shift either. Every time you drop a gear and slowly let go of the clutch, well there again, you are using the clutch as a brake.

It could be time for a new one, mine last around 75k but I do 99% of city driving.

Ahh that makes sense Huck.. Thanks man... I'm at 120k and no issues yet just wondering if anyone had a general idea... My Type-s and civic si both k20s always was about 160k
