I Need Advice For New Clutch

After I have replaced many new parts like oil, battery, spark plugs, etc. And kabooom... now I need to replace my clutch, It really worn out and everytime i driven it, it sound like reving the car in hella high rpm to be able drive it and it goes hecka slow so i got to switch gear like crazy. Anyway, I really need to save money so i was planning on buyin a cheap clutch on ebay, i dont care about stage or anything, all i need is a brand new clutch that work, so is this a good one, brand name is "Exedy" it kinda like a oem clutch i think http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...980207132&rd=1
I haven't driven this car for like a cloupe of week need to take it out for the summer

Re: I Need Advice For New Clutch

never buy ebay shit... unless its 2nd hand. if you just want one to work go OEM. but if you want a upgrade then get a RPS 6 pluck spring clutch. there only like 600 bucks. and if your already in the tranny might as well replace the flywheel for like 400 bucks. then replace the clips and little things like that. if your going to do something do it right.
go to www.MVPMotorSports.com they have some good deals on RPS clutches and flywheels. stay away from ACT, they suck... RPS is one of the best brands out there. and for exedy... never heard it. might be some nock off, that will only last like a mounth.

Re: Re: I Need Advice For New Clutch

6 puck clutches are hell for daily drivers. If you try to drive them like you would a full face clutch they will burn up in 10k miles. A friend of mine just got his clutch replaced and put a 6 puck in and totally regrets it. He wishes he would have gotten the full face which can hold nearly as much power as his pucked clutch. As for the flywheel, I wouldnt waste my money.

The comment on ACT. How would you know they suck?? Did you hear it from someone? ACT is one of the best brands on the market. I can tell you I got a ACT in my car and it holds great. If I remember right IPO has a ACT in his 14B TT FWD drag car and it has broken records.

If you just drive to and from work the Exedy should do you just fine.

Re: Re: I Need Advice For New Clutch

Easier on the engine and tranny?? Thats a new one. The 6 puck will grab harder and be more jerky and therefor be harder on the engine and tranny.

Ebay Exedy clutches are good. I've bought 3 for 3 different cars, I have one in my 3000GT right now. I actually bought that same exact one from Gripforce Clutches. No problems or complaints, go for it.

Re: I Need Advice For New Clutch

here's a better deal: http://www.eclutchmaster.com/oemitem.asp?num=151

i got mine from eclutchmaster.com. works great. just an OEM replacement (Exedy) at a price you can't beat. and this is the whole kit too. 20 bucks for shipping, so say 144 total.

or he's got a stage 1 upgrade for 215: http://www.eclutchmaster.com/racingitem.asp?num=33

and stage 2 clutch for 309: http://www.eclutchmaster.com/racingitem.asp?num=73

Re: I Need Advice For New Clutch

Yeah i've bought from eClutchmaster before too, out of the 3 i'd say that one was the best. Gripforce would be second. Aimco Clutch was the 3rd and the clutch feels wimpy, but it works.

'RPS Max Clutch with 6 Puck Sprung Hub for 1991-99 VR4 & 1990-96 Stealth R/T TT
ITEM # RP MS-16562-SP
This package includes the RPS Max Clutch Pressure Plate and the RPS Carbon Claw 6 puck (sprung hub) disc. This clutch kit can hold up to 680 foot pounds of torque & is 33% stiffer than stock. This is the ultimate power holding (yet streetable) setup available. RPS is the only company that manufactures a multi-puck disc with springs on them. If you care about the streetability of a clutch, if you care about the life of your transmission, select a sprung hub disc. Stay far away from 4 & 6 puck discs that do not have springs on them (ACT).
MSRP $690.90 Your Price $587.29
