Exedy Stage 1 Organic Disc Clutch Kit, 2002-2005 Subaru WRX

The Exedy Stage 1 Organic Disc Clutch Kit for the 2002-2005 Subaru WRX is a factory-quality replacement clutch for the GD-generation WRX EJ20 5-speed application. Exedy supplies Subaru’s OEM clutch program, and this Stage 1 kit applies that manufacturing relationship to a street-quality performance clutch that matches the factory engagement character while improving durability.

DETAILS

• Disc: organic friction, smooth OEM-style engagement
• Designed for stock and mildly modified WRX EJ20
• OEM-equivalent clamp load
• Full street drivability, no special technique required
• 5MT fitment

The GD-generation WRX EJ20 is a platform that rewards quality clutch components. The factory clutch on an unmodified WRX is designed to a cost and service-life target, the Exedy Stage 1 replaces it with better friction material and more consistent manufacturing quality while maintaining the stock engagement character that makes the WRX pleasant to drive in traffic.

For the WRX owner running close to stock power levels, this is the correct clutch replacement. It installs without any adjustment to driving style, holds the stock power level reliably, and lasts significantly longer than a generic aftermarket replacement due to Exedy’s OEM-grade manufacturing standards.
