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!

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

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

[slammed89civic]

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!

[mellowboy]

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.

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?

[MyFirst4G]

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!
