When is it time to upgrade your Forester’s clutch and drivetrain components?

Clutch wear is a common issue in higher-mileage Foresters or those used for spirited driving. Signs such as slipping, chatter, or difficulty shifting indicate it’s time to consider replacement or upgrade. Upgrading drivetrain mounts and shifters can also reduce unwanted vibrations and improve shift feel, enhancing overall drivability.

  • Slipping clutch or inconsistent engagement under load
  • Increased drivetrain vibrations or noise
  • Difficulty or imprecise gear shifts
  • High mileage or performance driving conditions

Benefits of lightweight flywheels and short shifters for your Forester

Installing a lightweight flywheel reduces rotational mass, allowing your engine to rev more freely and improving throttle response. Short shifters decrease shift throw length, resulting in quicker, more precise gear changes. Together, these upgrades contribute to a more connected and engaging driving experience without sacrificing reliability.

Selecting drivetrain components depends on your driving style, power goals, and maintenance needs. OEM replacements ensure factory fit and durability, while aftermarket upgrades offer enhanced performance and feel.
