The Action Clutch Stage 1 (1OS) clutch kit, part number ACR-1816-FFW, is engineered for 2018-2021 Subaru WRX models equipped with the 2.0L DOHC FA20DIT turbocharged AWD powertrain. Designed for stock vehicles and basic bolt-on applications, this kit delivers approximately 70% greater holding capacity than the factory clutch while maintaining smooth engagement and an OEM-like pedal feel. It is recommended for heavy-duty street driving and mild track use.
The kit uses reinforced steel-backed Copper Kevlar Organic friction material paired with a single-diaphragm heavy-duty pressure plate. This combination provides dependable power transfer, consistent operation, and comfortable drivability for enthusiasts who need more clutch capacity without an overly aggressive pedal. The clutch is compatible with the 2018-2021 Subaru WRX OEM flywheel and is not compatible with Action Clutch chromoly flywheels. Applications using an Action Clutch chromoly flywheel require the corresponding 2015-2018 WRX clutch and flywheel combination.
Safety and quality control are central to the Action Clutch design. Patented, fully enclosed spring retainers help prevent springs from popping out and provide additional protection for the engine and transmission. Each kit is inspected and approved by an experienced Action Clutch engineer before release, supporting reliable performance and consistent engagement. Verify that your vehicle identification number begins with J806877 before ordering to confirm application compatibility. Professional installation is recommended, along with inspection of the flywheel and related clutch components during installation.
