CCI stage 4 opinion
CCI stage 4 opinion
hey so I can get a good deal on one. Guy said its a new version so no c clip issues. Would you guys recommend this daily driving involving some launches on the street/strip?
As much as I know they had issues with the C clip and its highly recommended to use the OEM throwout bearing.
My original stage 4 had material fall off around the corners created a lot of un pleasant clutch chatter. I couldnt afford down time and got another clutch to replace and they warrantied the one I took out.
They checked it out and something caused the clutch to over heat maybe the tob not pulling it out correctly? Because I used an aftermarket tob and that thing was stuck in the C clip and would not pop out when we were pulling the trans.
So in conclusion. The C clip was revised and OEM tob is recommended for any clutch you buy. Also this clutch never slipped and grabbed hard. Actually quite honestly it grabs pretty hard, but at the same time the clutch pedal feel is only slightly harder than stock. And as for all the revised clutches by CCI so far have not had any problems at least I havent read about it.

I haven't driven a stage 4, but I have a Comp stage 3 in my car. With the type of driving you're describing a stage 3 might suit you better. It's grabby but it's a good daily driver and it's kevlar so it should last a little longer.
Make sure you get an OEM throwout bearing.
I previously had an act sprung 6 puck and this CC stage 3 is much easier to start out with around town even with a prolite flywheel.
The 6 puck really wasn't that bad. I wouldn't hesitate if you're getting a good deal on it. I tend to think that 6 pucks are more built for smooth shifting, max power holding, and less for longevity. Full disks are built for smooth engagement and longevity. If you get a 6 puck expect to do your clutch again in 30,000 most likely.

here is a video clip with good explanations about clutches, materials, and puck styles.
