Hi guys poor evo and her clutch is going out.... tryna figure out whats a good clutch you all are using.... my evo is a DD and hits the track in a summer.... tryna find a good clutch to accomodate both.... car will be at 400+hp when i install the clutch so need a clutch to hold more than 400hp... suggestions are greatly appreciated.... #racecarproblems

 

Clutches are rated at TORQUE not horsepower. But sounds like a Act Hdss will suit your setup

 

Exedy Racing clutch, Stage 1

 

I had the exedy stage 1, felt great, like stock. Only lasted me about 25k miles and i only had around 10 launches on it. Just my experience tho.

I currently have Competition Clutch stage 3 sprung. Its rated for over 400tq, dont remember how much exactly, but i like it so far. Its more "grabby" than stock but still streetable.

 

Install a clutch that will have room for power growth. Trust me on the act hdss. It will hold 510 torque. It has a little more pedal pressure but it has little disengagment issues. My last act lasted upwards of 35k miles and it got abused. Even till its last days it held power. Sure it slipped here and there but its a great setup.

 

Thanks guys for the help... definitely need a clutch that has room for more power....

 

Been on the ACT HDSS for 7 years & works just fine. 410 WTQ. When it was first installed, I thought i was getting that gear lock out issue.

I remember talking w/the owner of ACT about the issue, but I do not notice any issues since.

Its been a solid transmission component to date

 

I def recommend Exedy clutch also. Twin disc would give you room to grow if you ever make more power, but still easy to drive on the street.

 

The main reason I suggested the Exedy stage 1 is that he said the car is DD, otherwise I would've suggested the Exedy twin plate SD, but you don't want to wear out expensive components through daily driving.

 

ACT no doubt. Any issues give them a call and talk to Jonny or Mikey, they will get you squared away. You will love it

 

My exedy slipped in 5th gear. 29 psi less than 400tq

 

I've run both the ACT HDSS and 6 puck in my car. My car sees mostly weekend drives and autocross/ track events and is right around 400awhp on E85. I only managed about 12k miles on the HDSS before it started slipping. Made almost 25k on the 6 puck. Just installed my second 6 puck a few weeks ago. First time I used the extreme pressure plate, which was very heavy and a pain to drive in traffic. This time around I went with the HD pressure plate and I think it would be very street friendly. Overall I liked the feel of the puck style clutch better, but my focus was always geared more towards racing than the street. Hope that helps.

 

ACT HDSS served me well. However towards the end of it's life, I did get clutch lockout issues.
