I have a quick question about clutches.
My L series sedan has a '93 impreza ej20 and standard L 5spd gbox, just wondering what I should ask for when ordering a new clutch, I'm guessing it's an impreza clutch but I don't really know.
I was gonna go with exedy and see if they have a heavy duty set-up... Does anyone have any suggestions of other brands to try or whether or not a heavy duty is worth it for 95% road 5% off road?
Thanks,
Tommo.

You really need to find out what flywheel it has because the clutch has to match it.
normally if you use an L box with an EJ you use the L flywheel/clutch.
How you tell witch flywheel it is without opening it all up, i don't know.

so it could be either flywheel?
and it's all opened up now anyway so i'll pull it all off tomorrow and have a looksie.
anyone have personal experiences with heavy duty clutches?

Well would you look at that, i believe i just answered my own question. looked up the exedy site and found some flywheel info for L series and impreza. They say the L series flywheel is recessed -21mm and the impreza flywheel is flat.
Therefore mine is off the L series. This sound right?
Amazing what happens when you take the time to read and then think about things. :P
Thanks anyway.

So it was the clutch bugger:(

Give Dave M a ring he knows a guy who gave a talk on clutches and they have a very good 4wd clutch and said they will give us a good discount:)

hope it helps
