Exedy OE 2006-2006 Saab 9-2X H4 Clutch Kit
The 2006 Saab 9-2X is a Subaru Impreza underneath, so when its five-speed starts slipping, chattering on takeoff or grinding into gear, the fix is a Subaru-style clutch job. The Exedy OE FJK1001FW is an original-equipment style clutch kit listed for the 2006 Saab 9-2X with the H4 flat-four engine. Exedy is a factory clutch supplier, and its OE line is built to restore the stock feel and holding power rather than add aggressive bite.
For 2006 Saab offered the 9-2X as the 2.5i with a naturally aspirated 2.5L and the Aero with the turbocharged 2.5L EJ255, both with all-wheel drive. The clutch sits between the boxer engine and the transaxle and has to hold torque going to all four wheels, which is harder on a disc than a two-wheel-drive car of similar power. A worn disc loses clamp and slips; a tired pressure plate loses spring force; a dry release bearing starts to whine.
Exedy uses an FW suffix on kits that are packaged with a flywheel; its NSK1000FW, for instance, is described as including a solid flywheel. The FJK1001FW ships at about 37 lb, roughly double the plain FJK1001 Impreza kit, which matches that pattern. Check the box contents when it arrives before you strip the car.
Check the slave cylinder for leaks and confirm the pedal returns fully, since hydraulic trouble can mimic a failed clutch. Then do the classic slip check in top gear at low speed with full throttle. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the steps, and the manual vs. automatic repair cost breakdown helps you budget the job.
This kit is listed for the 2006 Saab 9-2X H4 only. Exedy lists separate kits for the 2005 car, which used a different engine in the Aero trim (a 2.0L turbo), so a 2005 owner should not order this one. Because the 2006 2.5i and Aero used different engines, send us your VIN and trim before ordering so we can confirm the match, or compare your old disc and pressure plate with the kit. If you want a performance upgrade instead, the Exedy Stage 1 kit for the 9-2X 2.5i and the Stage 2 cerametallic kit cover the same car. Browse more in our clutch and rebuild kits.

No. FJK1001FW is listed for 2006 only. The 2005 Aero used a 2.0L turbo engine, and Exedy catalogs separate kits for 2005 cars.
The kit is listed for the 2006 9-2X H4. The two trims used different 2.5L engines, naturally aspirated and turbo, so send us your VIN and we will confirm before it ships.
Exedy's FW suffix marks kits packaged with a flywheel, and this kit's weight fits that. Open the box and check the parts before you start the job.
The 9-2X is a rebadged Impreza, and Exedy's FJK1001 kit is listed for 2006-2008 Impreza H4 models. The FW kit is the version catalogued for the Saab.
The pilot bearing, the release bearing if it is not in the box, and any leaking slave cylinder. Inspect the rear main seal while the transmission is out.
