Stage 3 clutch is a BITCH!

Man my friend got a stage 3 ACT clutch in his b16 rex like a month and a half ago. I have never driven it with that clutch till yesterday! Man its so freakin hard to drive his car! Its like i'm learning how to drive stick for the very first time man! Shit i'm gonna be str8 with the stage 1 or 2 fuck that shit!:D

you should try center fource :D i have a stage 2 but, to the foot it feels like stock.

i know mr. auto-x Habib told me at least a million times to get one....wow, he was right ;) :lol2:

What does the Center Force feel like??? I'm thinking of buying one & any input is appreciated :D

I also need to get a clutch soon. I am a student on a limited budget, what do you guys recommend as a good aftermarket performace clutch.

Definitely go with the centerforce! I've had one for a while now, feels great.

Well if you're looking for a performance one then centerforce is probably going to be your best bet. But if you just want a high quality replacement go with Luk, they're like $98 for the whole kit, it's about the best replacement clutch you can get, it's not a performance clutch though(I think it's supposed to hold like 6 psi more than stock, or maybe that was another one, I can't remember). They do make performance clutches but expect to pay out the wazoo for one.

I can churp 4 gears with my ACT extrem:ylsuper

if i don't let off in 3 of them it just keeps going.
The tranny will go before this clutch does.

Yeh i'm thinkin goin with the ACT extreme also. Well i'm starting to look at the centreforce clutch. Stage 2 feels like stock huh? Thats sounds good to me! Oh the stage 3 is good on certain applications but man that shit is so hard to drive. Its like you have to ride on ur clutch just so the car can't jerk so much.

i got stage 3!!! I LOVE IT.. the clutch is hard but i chrip every gear..100 percent grip baby

i had a stage 3 centerforce in my sx....god......i ahve to of doubled the muscle in my left leg!

but i agree, it is a nice grabby clutch when racing, but everyday driving is a bitch, every time you go from a stop you have to slip the clutch alot to get a smooth takeoff, or else it jerks

by the way......good lord this is an old post!

Damn an old post hehe! Anyway why u guys dig on chirping ur car? Its not a good thing u know. U lose traction..u dont want it to chirp. Lsd will solve that problem.

yea, I was about to say also .... I never did get the new clutch, ended up being my tranny :(

What do you guys think of EXEDY? I just bought one for $100 cuz it seemed like a real good deal. Was it a good buy?

I have an Exedy, but make sure you dont get the eBay stuff because all it is is a oem clutch with a organic disc made my dakin (Exedy) and they say its an Exedy clutch, what you need is a Exedy Racing clutch w/w an Organic Disc and its really good, i know a couple people on this board that have em and are very happy with them! It gives a 69% increase of pressure over stock and its a very good clutch, it chirps second gear and once broken in, traffic is not a problem!

hmm....i dunno if i have a stock clutch or not but its harder to push in than any other clutch ive felt and it chirps 2nd on this pos shit motor and if i shift into 2nd at a low rpm and pull off the clutch it jerks.....do new oem clutches do this? i know the guys said there was a new clutch dunno if its oem or not :confused:

Yes they do.:)

Yea they do, my friend has a GSR with a stock clutch and he chirps 3rd, but that could be because he has a GSR :D

Anyone know where to get the LUK clutches from ?

it feels like stock when you push in on it. i can't speak for stage 3...audi says it's too grabby. i like the stage 2. it is grabby, but not too bad. it was easy to get used to.

now i have heard of racers running turbo on the track that have burned through a center force stage 2. if that is what i were going to do with my car i would probably go with a ACT stage 3. then again i wouldn't be driving it daily either :)

where can i get the clutch at???

Chirping gears messes your car?????? i didnt know that!!!!!!! what u mena by lose traction??. i do it when im racing and showing off sometimes..my car chirps up to 3rd gear i never tried 4th..anywayz write back
P.S u gotta be gentil with your stage 3, when i first got it , i always peeled out in first and 1 time i just reved it hard and stated peeling out, it felt like i was doing a brake stand, i love my clutch..100% grip

i have the ACT extreme and love it, its pretty grabby, i actually broke em loose shifting into third with a mostly stock d16a6... and what they were saying is that when you chirp or break loose it isn't neccessarly a good thing b/c when your tires are spinning you aren't accelerating so its not to good to do in races...

Since when they made cars that drive without the driver?;)

I definitely reccomend centerforce stage 3. I got it put on my car and it feels awesome, grabs really good, and i dont know what you guys are talking about it being hard to drive, mine isnt too far from stock feeling

this post is back from the dead again eh... last post was in january, and started almost a year ago...

*bump*......just got my stage 3 clutchmasters today in the mail....
