Im no mechanic, but I would suggest the sooner the better. It's only going to get worse as it wears, and you'll get to the point where you'll give the engine gas and the revs are going to climb, and you'll be going nowhere.
I did have a clutch go on my MY00 WRX and it slipped and shuddered something cronic under accelleration. The whole front end of the car felt like it was bouncing or driving over ripple strips. It had to be fixed! Allow for $1200 to $1600 depending on where you take it (cheapest isnt always best with a job like this). Avoid heavy duty, ultra cool, shit hot clutches. They shudder like shit in stop/start traffic, are a pain in the arse to drive with, and place extra strain on the gearbox. I would hope most people would recommend the Subaru OEM clutch, which Im lead to believe is good for a 270hp or more at the wheels? |

I just had a brand new exedy heavy duty organic fitted - it should be less than 1200 dollars.
It also drives like an oem clutch - no shudder, not heavier than stock...

It's definitely something you want sorted sooner than later. The clutch went on my Impreza about a month before I got it turboed, pulled onto Abernethy rd and all of a sudden it was revs spiking but no speed. Had to limp home from the airport up the hill with only a touch of usable accelerator before it started slipping - not a fun experience!
Had my clutch cable adjusted and it allowed the clutch to engage properly again, was only a temporary fix as it was all getting ripped out in a months time anyway - survived with no slip until the night before it was due to go in with a few accidental clutch burning moments in between so it worked at least! I've been quoted recently around the $1200 supplied and fitted mark for an uprated clutch + install |

Yeah half this price is labour. Clutch itself I paid 500 for a competion clutch.

Yeh I probably will just get the OEM one as I don't do any track days or anything. It's just my street daily pretty much stock hp anyway. But still... over 1k? Balls
