How to LAUNCH your 5 Speed WRX

- I was disappointed by another guys video that had the title about launching a 5SPD WRX, he lied, he didn’t launch it. It was clickbait. This is not clickbait. May not be the best launches but it is a launch! Let me know what other videos you guys wanna see.

Step 1: Rev to 5k
Step 2: Release clutch
Step 3: Order new transmission
Got 240,000 miles on my 5 speed impreza. Launched it and got the whole car to slide sideways. 5 speeds are not that bad. Just drive it and have fun. 5 speed is also geared so nice for off roading when the roads get shut down for ice storms.
2006 WRX w/ 18G @20 Psi (about 320 lb/ft at the wheels). Been like that since 2010. Stock type HD clutch and mixed sythetic 75w90 with Redline lightweight shockproof gear oil. Launch control set below 2,500 RPMs. Still plenty faster than stock to 60 mph and the clutch slips before gears can break. Been through three clutches, one shortblock, and zero transmissions😉.
Flat Four's advice about taking up drivetrain slack is right. Roll onto the throttle instead of stabbing it. When on the go try not to floor it until RPMs are above 3,500, especially in 4th or 5th gears. Also keep stock width tires since extra grip equals extra stress on drivetrain components. *Plus moderate sized wheels and tires are faster on low to medium power cars.
Thank you I don't think people understand if your gentle you can launch subies it's when you straight dump the clutch you'll have dramas 😂
It's nice seeing a wrx with over 260k miles! Glad to see you kept up with maintenance!
You launch it close enough to a flatbed so that therea enough momentum to push on without having to physically push it on.
Haha wise words👍
With preload and some decent footwork, you can get quite a few launches out of a 5 speed. 3 years of 400whp and hard launches at autocross events on mine and a non aggressive clutch. Too much clamping force can cause excess movement of the actual case (more so than it does normally). My 4.44 Forester XT trans is the most fun gearbox I've used personally, even while having a 2012 STI with a 6 speed. Both are great.
This helped me launch my EVO
Preload preload preload, good vid bud.
So never dump the clutch, just rev it to 4-5k then slowly release the clutch until the car starts to roll slowly then you know your trans and drivetrain are safe yeah?
Worked for me. Over 100 launches and never shred mine up.
@@flatfour3935 same here im drive a 99impreza and it works awesome !!!
also with out a rev limiter btw .
@@flatfour3935 now I'm relieved, love launching man! Just love the car even more and I never want to damage it you know?
@@222blacka that's cool man! I drive a 2009 Impreza 2.5i
@@getwrxed6218 nice love that model :-)
Simple; don’t lol
That’s boring
Launching the five speed(non built trans) generally means you'll be replacing the trans. Been there done that. Better to just build it the right way then go beat on it.
@@alexgutierrez9286 not necessarily true. It’s about the foot behind the clutch not the transmission behind the engine. There’s some people who can even blow up a STI 6 speed because they don’t know how to launch. I’ve launched mine over 100 times and never had a single issue. And so has my buddy that has the Black Wagon on my channel, he’s done probably double (if not more) the launches I have and that thing is still on the stock trans.
@@flatfour3935 well then you got one of the good ones. What kind of numbers are you putting down?
@@alexgutierrez9286 depends who's driving it, all I know is If I'm letting anyone drive my 5 speed it's not gonna be you
Ignition.launch..aaaand houston we are off the road, sending the subaru module into the orbit for experimental exploration of clutching and purchase of new car..
Step one: hit vape
Step two: call tow truck
This honestly helps!
Any tranny problems? How many launches have you done? I launch my impreza 2.0 this way and no problems at this time.
Oh god here we go..
hey good video man!
That is smooth 👌
My 205k 5 spd said no
Over 250k on this one
@@flatfour3935 miles or kilometers?
@@poof2380 miles!
@@flatfour3935 Jesus, i have 205k kilometers on my bugeye and im scared for its life idk how u do it!
@@flatfour3935 i’m at 240k in my bugeye and still running good too bro!
Slip the clutch or just get wheel spin if you grip on a hard launch you’ll break shit
What if no launch control?
Bud , that was horrible 😂😂
How much power are you makin
what rear diffuser is that black piece
OEM discontinued piece
Will this work on NA?
I would do it on my NA if I had one. Wouldn’t stop me. The secret to not ruining things is slipping it fast, don’t clutch drop.
I'm just trying to find one
Build your trans then launch
With or without hormone therapy?
I don’t launch my car but my wrx got 176xxx and no check engine just keep up with the maintenance and this car will last you many miles
LOL how to launch your wrx according to a 15 year old
