Competition Clutch Subaru 02-05 WRX/Impreza/04-05 Forester/93-00 WRX Stock Clutch Kit
If your 2002-2005 Subaru Impreza WRX, 2004-2005 Forester or 2004-2006 Baja has a clutch that is worn out rather than overpowered, the Competition Clutch 15029-STOCK is a factory-style replacement. It is meant for stock cars and cars with simple bolt-ons, where the goal is to get back the original feel: an easy pedal, smooth takeoff and no slip, without paying for a performance clutch you do not need.
These Subarus use a pull-style clutch. The release bearing clips into the center of the diaphragm and pulls it toward the transmission to release the disc, instead of pushing it toward the engine. 15029-STOCK is built for that layout. Competition Clutch describes it as matching the original torque capacity with smooth engagement and a factory pedal feel, using an OE-style pressure plate and a full-face organic disc. Its specification table lists one disc, an organic full-face friction surface, and an included throwout bearing, pilot bushing and alignment tool. A flywheel is not included.
A full-face organic disc is the same type of friction the factory used. It slips progressively as you let the pedal up, so hill starts and parking lot moves feel normal, and it is kind to the flywheel surface. The trade is that it is sized for stock torque. A WRX that has been tuned for more boost will overpower it, and that owner should look at a staged kit instead.
With the engine warm, choose fourth gear around 2,000 rpm and go to full throttle. If the tach jumps while road speed lags, the disc is slipping. A clutch that will not fully release, grinds going into gear or has a soft pedal usually points to the hydraulics or the release fork, not the disc. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the road test in detail. If the main complaint is judder on takeoff, read our clutch chatter guide, and use the repair cost guide to budget the labor.
Competition Clutch lists 15029-STOCK for the 2002-2005 Impreza WRX, 2004-2005 Forester, 1991-1994 Legacy and 2004-2006 Baja, all with the pull-type clutch. Our listing title also mentions a 1993-2000 WRX. The maker does not list those years, and that wording most likely refers to imported cars, so treat it as unconfirmed and check before buying. It does not fit the 2006-and-later WRX, which went to a push-type clutch, or the six-speed STI. Subaru mixed engines and clutch sizes across these model lines, so compare the old disc diameter, spline count and release bearing style, or send us your year and VIN.

If the car makes more power than stock, the 15029-2100 Stage 2 kit fits the same cars.

No. The 2006-and-later WRX uses a push-type clutch. This kit is for the pull-type 2002-2005 WRX, 2004-2005 Forester, 2004-2006 Baja and 1991-1994 Legacy.
Competition Clutch does not list those years. Those cars were not sold as WRX in the US, so an imported car needs its clutch size and spline count checked before you order. Send us the chassis details and we will check.
No. The kit includes the pressure plate, organic disc, throwout bearing, pilot bushing and alignment tool. Resurface or replace your flywheel.
It is made to match stock torque capacity for stock cars or basic bolt-ons. A car with a tune and more boost should use a Stage 2 or higher kit.
Competition Clutch says to shift as often as possible for the first 500 miles so the disc material beds into the flywheel and pressure plate. Avoid hard launches until then.
