Replacing Forester Clutch

So...my clutch is on its way out. It's not too bad but it is slipping sometimes in high gears which is frustrating.

I'm looking at replacing it ASAP. Any recommendations for mechanics, replacement clutches (instead of OEM ones) etc? Is it hard to do yourself? I've never replaced a clutch, however. Is this going to cost me a small fortune?

Anyone wanna do it for me for a few slabs of beer? Hahaha

Cheers chaps!

Go talk to CBA Malga (ask for Brendan, no not me) and get a OEM style clutch (think of a weaker clutch as a fuse for your gearbox)

As for install Im sure Matt could arrange a Saturday 'CASH' job at his workshop

But you don't want one of those shitty dual-mass POS either that end needing to be replaced down the track.

Ok, Ill clarify
OEM as in stock/non heavy duty, don't get a beefy puck clutch and some pressure plate that's going to kill your gearbox.
