So I was doing a track day and I had missed 3rd and grided the gear alittle rough then I noticed the clutch pedal was vibrating alot the clutch when pressed starts to squeak loud and the o ly way I can get it into gear now is by turning the car off the gears wont go in at all do I need a new clutch??

defiantly sounds like either a bad clutch or may have bent a shift fork in the trans hope that's not the case but may have happened ... have you tried to bleed the clutch and or checked to see if its dragging

the fork is cast...usually breaks rather than bending...

Well my clutch is shot we just looked at it today what should I go with? Clutch masters or act stage 1?

well my ACT stage 1 failed...I hear good things about clutchmasters. but I still use ACT, lol

deathsythe99

Lol how'd it fail? And how long did it last?

CrAnSwIcK

iTrader: (5)

it lasted a bit less than 80,000km, and cause of failure is unknown, throw out bearing was intact...I sent the pressure plate to ACT, and never heard back.

Well in that case ill look at clutch masters lol. What disc should I go with? I was looking at the fx400 but it seems kinda excessive for the power I have. Or in stages what should I go with a 2?

stage 2 will hold over 300ft-lb of torque...if you're not going to be making big power, just go OEM...they're $240 on rock auto...

deathsythe99

Pff im at 169/168. So rock auto? They reliable?

deathsythe99

What one should I go with? I was also looking into the fx250 from clutch masters but like I said im not running big power but I do occasionally do track days

Exedy MBK1007 is OEM...I've never heard of those other guys.


you ONLY need a clutch that has more clamping force IF the torque output of the engine exceeds the capacity of the stock clutch...a clutch will not make your car faster, it won't shift any different...beyond a stage 1, the car will only become more difficult to drive...if you like a stiff pedal, get a stage 1, but it'll cost you twice what OEM will cost. if you can afford the extra $200, I would recommend a stage 1.

To me the exedy clutch always felt spongy. So what would a stage 1 clutch masters be? Fx100?
