It is time for me to buy a clutch. I have searched and found numerous threads on this clutch.
I'm having trouble making my decision based on all of the information I am finding though. It seems like for every person who likes it, there's a bunch who don't.

My question to the people who have the HDSS is...are you happy with it? Was it worth it? Would you buy it again?

Also, do you feel that it is better than an oem replacement?

 

I <3 my hdss... its a great clutch... i have the ACT flywheel as well... another good combo is HDSS and the gruppe-s flywheel... both have been run hard as hell and holding up through hundreds of launches....

 

i love mine and have zero problems with it.

 

i love mine as well. drives like stock and handles alot of abuse.

 

same here. Clutch and flywheel combo with a ams full stainless steel clutch line. Pedal feel is very positive never any fade or any issues at all.

 

I think you will only get limited helpfull feedback on your thread but here is probably the largest clutch poll out there for the EVO with close to 700 votes:

Of course I can give you my opinion, but you can probably guess what that is, LOL.

 

I have it and i love it but make sure you use good oil. I wouldn't use Royal Purple it's not good when its cold.

 

I love my hdss...never had a problem with it

great pedal feel

easy to drive

quiet

inexpensive

 

bump for more opinions

 

i also have it. zero issues. great feel. takes the abuse. i also know of a few ppl with high hp 1g n 2g's and they have had no problems either

 

iv got it...only reason i got it because i couldn't afford the exedy twin disk...relatively happy with it though holds and feels great no annoying noises only slight whirring when inside and depressed in neutral...holds great on launches and the combo clutch flywheel were right in my price range so...good luck and enjoy

 

are you happy with it?
yes.

Was it worth it?
yes.

Would you buy it again?
I would get a fidenza 3.2

Also, do you feel that it is better than an oem replacement?
100 times better, so long as you adj the pedal.

 

I have the ACT HDSS also and the ACT Streetlite flywheel, and the AMS SS clutch line.
I like it alot better than oem.

I took my oem clutch out after 5000 miles.
It worked fine, I was just starting to get into the higher HP and didn't want to chance it.
I Still have it in my attic, just in case.

Would I get it again, you betcha.

If I would have had the extra $ I would have gotten the Exedy twin, but at the time, I just couldn't swing the $ for it.

For me, it works great.
As long as you have someone that knows what they are doing put it in, and adjust it correctly, it works like a champ.

NO lockout at any RPM
Good Luck.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I'l be getting the HDSS very soon.

 

The HDSS and the HDSD are great.


The hdsd is a little lighter and will allow quicker shifts.
