I need a 22re disc and 5sfe PP. I can get good deals if I buy them separately. Is it ok to mix match brands though? I know some brands build their PP to work specifically with a disc. Unfortunately, nobody seems to return emails these days... What do you guys know?
I have done this before on Subarus using parts store/OE-equivalent pieces and not had an issue. I think as long as you are not mixing different setups or fancy aftermarket stuff you will be OK.
I've done it with different aftermarket brands. Had a Spec Stage 2 pressure plate with a South Bend disk. Worked well.
Youll be fine, I have 3 different brands in my "clutch kit" from two different vehicles that arent the same as the car they are in and its gravy.
Everybody says "go to south bend" I called, emailed. I get zero from them... I read spec clutches are garbage, but those posts are about 5 yrs old now... Not sure if they turned things around.
I need beefier than stock parts though. These are for my 1uz, which makes about 260tq to the fw.
I'm using a fidanza aluminum flywheel, south bend stage 3 disc, and OE pressure plate. Works fine, no problems.
I sell RhinoPac clutch kits, which have mixed OEM components in the box. Luk PP with a Daiken disc, etc. It's how new cars are built these daus, too. You'll be fine.
