Hey folks. I'm going to buy a new clutch.

It appears to be a good quality clutch with excellent reviews. It does include a new slave cylinder. Is this OK to install in my vehicle? I don't see any reason why not. I don't know of what clutch is in it. I just know that it's been with it since I got it (154k through 295k). It's a stage 2 clutch which shouldn't matter, right?

I'd go with a better known company such as "exedy" or "act". I believe exedy provides the oem clutch to mitsu? Definitely go with a mitsu slave cylinder though. I've read bad things about people going with the non-mitsu slave/ tob. I'm running a act clutch and so far so good.

I run a stage 2 clutch on 14-16psi of boost...is there any reason you need a stage 3?


also I don't know if I would trust a stage 3 clutch that costs less than an OEM clutch kit...but if you want to give it a go, you may very well be the first, at least on this forum, to install and report back...

The reason I chose this clutch was because it was the first one Amazon suggested and it included the slave cylinder. I have no attachment to this clutch. Though stage 2 or 3 is appealing) enticing, I'm not married to it. Just engaged.

Any other suggestions are of course welcome. Exedy or ACT are what I've heard recommended?

Exedy and Act have been used the most by people on the forum and have a better reputation. I've read problems about the slave that comes with them though, they seem to be hit or miss.

I've found this bad boy. What do ya think?

that's a stage 1, better choice...for stage 2 and 3 clutches, there's no sense in having a heavy pedal and harsh engagement/chatter if you're not making enough torque to require it...unless you plan on doubling or tripling your torque output in the near future.


I can't say that other clutch is good or bad, but i'll tell you, good or bad, with an organic full face street disc would be better for daily driving...stage 2 is not too bad, but still pretty harsh. I've had an ACT clutch exploded, so I can't say I recommend it...try clutchmasters or spec, never heard anything bad about them...or even an Exedy replacement clutch.
