Default duralast clutch set

Do not buy this clutch set from autozone it is TRASH TRASH TRASH,
Save your self some money and buy a brand name.
The throw out bearing seized on me and the inter ring of the pressure plate came off, I had it installed for 2 days.
Yes it is a life time warranty but how much will you pay to get it reinstated after it fails a week later.
And not to mension the price is $270
Just a BIG heads up fellas

Lesson learned. Spend a little bit more once for good parts rather than a little bit now and more later for cheap parts.

Southbend's stuff is good quality and only $345 for their basic OE replacement kit. SO really $75 more and you could have had a good lasting clutch...

Or pay less and get the Exedy replacement which has served most of us well.

WhyTF would you buy a clutch from Autobone in the FIRST place???

Its pretty well know they stock GARBAGE...

I trust Autobone about as far as I could pick up the building and throw it...

A lot of AZ parts are the same as OE just a different box. Not sure who produces subaru clutches, but like 95% of az clutches are Borg Warner. I've never had any issues, but then again Mitsus actually have the same part numbers stumped as the Az clutches which are a fraction of the cost from OE if you want an OEreplacement

I work in a parts department, bro. A lot of hard parts are the same, just a different box. The only "true" OEM parts are dealer only items, ie trim pieces, some gaskets, emission parts etc. Brakes, stock suspension, steering components among others are the same. Granted you CAN buy super cheap stuff at az, napa or wherever but asking for the better brands yields good results. We bought a coil for a 7 series BMW from AZ had the same part number on the boot as the original.

Working in a parts department is NOT the same as working for a parts manufacturer, broski. Not all parts are created equal. Even those that appear to have similar stamping. Are some? Sure. House brands and equally similar crap. Hell, chinese manufacturers copy stamps from oem to give the appearance of quality...

We're talking about a clutch. Use name brand or prepare to create another "I'm butthurt bc I wasted $ on xyz" thread.
