Using this South Bend Clutch Stage 3 Clutch Kit is straightforward. Just install it as you would with a regular clutch kit in your 2005 - 2008 Subaru Legacy GT. When driving, keep in mind that the pedal effort is 20% - 25% more than usual, so be prepared for a bit more resistance. For daily and street use, it performs great right out of the box. If you're taking it to the track occasionally, it can handle the high - performance demands. As for maintenance, regularly check the clutch for signs of wear. Since it's designed to run at lower temperatures, it should have less wear and glazing, but a quick inspection every few thousand miles is a good idea. If you notice any unusual noises or a significant change in pedal feel, it's time to have it checked by a professional.
