ok so this weekend my clutch basicly went. it wont hold the power anymore so i will need to upgrade. i have a few questions for u guys

1. can i reuse my stock flywheel (24,000 miles)

2. i will be upgrading my 20g-9-5 to a FP3065 so i need a clutch that will hold that power.

3. what are some good choices in clutches that are quality and not going to break the bank. and also where can i get these clutches.

so basicly i need a clutch that will hold 400+tq 400+whp that will not cost me $1,600. i see AMS has a single plate exedy clutch for $500 but is that better then stock? also Buschur has a ACT and centerforce clutch for the price range im in, are they any good and will they hold more than the stock clutch. thanks for your help in advance.

 

You won't know if you can reuse your stock flywheel until you look at it. You ought to call AMS of Buschur and tell them what you need and ask what they recommend. Trust them more than any answer you get on here. A quick call and you'll be in business

 

do the stock flywheels wear that quick? i have never launched my car and basicly drive it very easy and only have 24000 miles on it. how long should it last?

just found that the act 2600 clutch will hold 495ftlb tq

edit: i have already pmed david, just waiting for a response.

 

the act clutch will do just fine, but in traffic your leg will feel it. so that being said I went with the twin disk and it works just fine.

 

haha well i have 27" thighs so i think i can handle the stiffer feel, thanks. and i would go with a twin but its $1600+, too expensive for me if i can get something else that will hold.

the exedy single sold by AMS says it will hold 44% more TQ than the stock and its only $500. i think i read the ACT will hold 38% more. correct me if im wrong.

 

found this http://evomoto.com/product_info.php?...b519ac8fa91816

says it holds 2900 lbs. looks like it would sufice.

 

Thats the clutch I had put in. I didn't really notice the pedal stiffness increase. I would consider the feel close to stock actually. No problem with my hp and trq and I make about 350wtrq and no lockout. I also suggest pm'ing ACTman he helped me alot.

 

get the exedy twin hd
act are a pain in the butt

 

The exedy twin plate is too much money .
and y is the ACT a pain?

 

Here is a good clutch poll for basically the same needs, regardless of budget (over 300 people now): https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=126768

The stock flywheel can be resurfaced as long as it is not too warped from overheating the slipping clutch. The problem is finding a place to do the job right, including rebalancing. Place a straight edge on the clutch surface and run a feeler gauge between the straight edge and the inner diameter of the clutch surface. If this is less than .020" then you should be pretty safe to resurface it. If it is more than .030", then I would probably replace it. If you are looking for a replacement, there is one name that comes to mind... ; )

 

so i just talked to someone at a very well respceted place and he informed me that the ACT clutch is harsh on the tranny and he recomends the exedy twin.

what to do what to do!!!!

 

hmm doesnt TRE recommend the ACT clutch? and from what I have seen the twin disc.. seem to ruin your transfer case?

 

i dont drive hard either, no draging so i dont think i should have a problem.

i want to do some road racing though.

 

anyone else have any opinions on the ACT?

 

Had em both and I'm back to the ACT HD w/Fidanza flywheel. Great set-up
