I bought this as part of an engine transplant project on a 2002 Subaru Outback with a 2.5 L engine. The kit comes with clutch plate, pressure plate, pilot bearing, release bearing, and an alignment tool. I don't know how to judge the quality from looking at the components, but my research revealed that it was the OEM part for Subaru. It fit perfectly onto the flywheel and transmission input shaft and, after several hundred miles, seems to be working well. I don't know whether it was my doing (I had the flywheel machined, but it is possible that I inadvertently dirtied a part by touching it with dirty hands) or just the nature of the friction material, but it gave off a burning clutch smell for a few miles. The smell soon dissipated and the clutch works fine. It engages smoothly and does what I expect it to do. One part that I wish the manufacturer had included is the paper clip-looking clips that hold the release bearing on the fork. It seems likely that the old ones get heat stressed and should be replaced. A Subaru-specific problem that I ran into is that the transmission shaft housing (also called a snout or quill) had worn, perhaps due to omission of lubricant by a previous installer. The quill is made of aluminum, and the steel bearing can wear a groove in it. I bought a kit consisting of a steel sleeve and oversize release bearing, which added time and expense to the job. If you are doing a Subaru and the clutch engagement and release feels funny you may also have this problem, so you may wish to look into a sleeve kit before you dig into the job.

The price seemed too good to be true, but nope it's a legit KSB04 kit! To be honest it hasn't moved yet, waiting on a few other parts. But according to my Subby guru mechanic it's a real Exxedy clutch kit, fits perfectly, and again looks correct so with the brand it is almost a foregone conclusion. Unless this is updated with a horror story you should probably just grab this clutch. It's not a trick, it's a legit KSB04 with the 2 bearings, clutch, pressure plate, alignment tool & lube. Again haven't driven it under power but will update. It for sure fits correctly, installs "easy" like it should, & is 100% the full kit! No worries. Just don't be like me, make sure you don't need a repair sleeve for your throwout bearing to slide on which requires a new throwout bearing clearanced for the sleeve (obviously not included). That's the only issue I had with install, not the kit's fault at all. 10/10 part quality from appearance & install.

Made in Japan, great quality, perfect fit for my stock 06 forester non-turbo, there is a shattering while being at idle, but this was my first clutch I ever installed. So i think did not line it up 100%. I would highly recommend this clutch, gets the Job done, I dont race my car whatsoever, it is a daily, 2000 miles and still strong.

It took my brother, a friend, and myself about 12 hours to pull the motor off of the transmission (leaving it in) of my 07 Subaru Impreza 2.5i, a pretty big project at my current level of automotive skill, expertise, and experience... don't laugh. We got it in with no major hiccups, it was pretty straight-forward and a great learning experience/confidence booster. Since then, nobody fixes my car but me, okay I did have an exhuast show bend an weld a custom fit exhuast system, but other than that, I do my own work.12,000 miles later, this cluch is still going strong. Replaced the original at 85k and I'm somewhere near 97k now. I did not replace/resurface the flywheel, no issues. I do wish that I had switch to a lightweight flywheel in hindsight, though.The kit works great!When putting the engine and transmission together, having the clutch within the pressure plate aligned correctly is crucial... we didn't have a whole lot of room to use the alignment tool, HINT use a hack saw and cut an inch or so off the tool for limited clearance if you're doing this in your driveway like I was.

Purchased this clutch kit for my 02 impreza ts wagon. I was experiencing severe clutch shudder and decided to replace the clutch while I had the engine pulled to do my head gaskets. I also purchased & replaced the old flywheel with the Sachs flywheel. Fit perfectly without any hitches and now I have a buttery smooth clutch again. It comes with a new pilot bearing, throwout bearing, clutch disk, pressure plate, plastic alignment tool, and some exedy grease. I did not use the supplied throwout bearing because I bought a transmission snout repair sleeve (recommend), which comes an over-sized bearing to fit on the stainless steel repair sleeve. The original supplied throwout bearing will not fit over the repair sleeve. The transmission case of subarus is made of aluminum. The throwout bearing, which slides on the snout of the transmission case eventually damages the snout, eventually to the point where the entire case needs to be replaced $$$$!!! If you change your clutch, you should also buy a repair sleeve kit. It runs about $150.00, but it's a small investment in compared to the possible cost of replacing the entire trans case.

Throw out bearing destroyed in my 2010 Subaru impreza forced me to replace clutch! Caught this one for a very competitive good deal. And free shipping thanks for prime, wow. This stuff is heavy. Had my local shoppe folks install this for me with no issues and no concerns. Good deal! Not too bad.

Works as expected, it's EXEDY so I suspect I won't have to worry about it failing for a very long time.
