In Need Of A New Clutch
 

Due to my newly found power, I'm in need of a new clutch. The one I have now is an RPS street clutch (5k miles). I need one that will hold at least 350 RWT, preferably 400 RWT to anticipate for future upgrade :suspect: Any suggestions?

Don,

I guess you could go with many different set ups.. I wouldnt recommend ACT SS. They say its rated around 400.. But I don't think so.. I think people had better luck with ACT pressure plate and 6 puck plate..

Or SPEC.. but some had some issues with their stage 3.

I'm about to try one of Exedy clutch. I'll let you know how that goes...


Also, I have a ACT MZ-011 - Heavy Duty Pressure Plate. Its used and needs a new clutch plate.. I'll sell you the Pressure plate by itself for 175.. This way you could just get a new 6 puck for like 125.. and have a kit for 300 :)

The ACT 6 puck has been proven for a cheap clutch. I think my pricing for you is around $560.00 for a brand new one. I had a local guy make damn near 100 passes on that clutch and it was used when we installed. The car was trapping between 95-100mph in the 1/8th mile the whole time. Strong clutch for the money.

What about pedal feel? Harsh engagement? I would probably want a sprung disc. Let me know the cost for sprung 6 puck kit.

Let me know if that is what you need.

Yes, but with this disc

Ill see what I can do for you :)

6 puck(ACT) sprung or unsprung is fine. Best bang for da buck.. I have ran the ACT street kit, SPEC 3+ and now ACT 6 unsprung. The street kit was great for under 350hp. I ran the crap out of it 100+ passes at the track. The SPEC 3+ = complete SHIT!!! ACT 6 puck has been great but I think I will be seeing its limits sson enough...

+1 on the ACT SS kit. it's good til about 350hp. I cooked mine 4-5 times launching and all it did was slip like crazy till it cooled off and then was fine afterwards.

I bought a regular Spec 3 just because I liked the one I had in my old car, so far it feels good, but I haven't done much with it. It does let out high, which I like, and it is grabby which can be a pain in traffic. The clutch pedal is alot softer than the ACT was.

Any word on the cost?

I should know something tomorrow for you.

$500.00 plus shipping and around 2.5% cc fee with heavy duty pressure plate
$520.00 Plus shipping and around 2.5% cc fee with the extreme pressure plate.

that looks like a great deal Don. either plate will be fine

What would be the total with shipping? Is there any other form of payment I could use to avoid the additional fee?


Hmmm, I think I need to research a little more...

Looking myself , was hoping to hear some things about the Exedy Twin Plate Clutch ... anyone ??

I think turbosquirrel here on the forums is running that clutch. Good solid clutch, probably not necessary unless you are shooting for 500+rwhp.

PM sent.

get on the ball. That 03 cobra is calling your name.... You keep draging your feet and its going to be July, nice and hot by the time you get some drag tires and a clutch in...

Great product...I've installed and used many of them with great results! Although I've never actively abused one of them at the drag strip I know people who have with good results. I also would recommend getting the carbon disc twin plate if you choose the Exedy unit. PM me if I can help, as I am an Exedy dealer.

I've been talking to a few people about my setup, Howard Coleman has been my go to guy. I'm shooting for 550rwhp, some street driving and a few track days a year.

All I can say is the ACT 6 puck unsprung is very easy to drive. I can not understand why anyone would complain. For the $500 price, you can not beat it. Mine feels better than the SPEC stage 1 I had in my 911.

Exedy Twin Disc. From experience a ACT extreme 3 was being destroyed by my car. I upgraded to the exedy twin disc and I could not be happier. It grabs VERY WELL (I have the rear ends to prove it) and is easier to drive in traffic than the ACT.

Im going to agree with Zonblitz on that one, ACT is a good clutch, but the exedy is a favorite among people who have used both. I drive my FD on the ACT 6puck (currently installed) and then a friend bought the Exedy twin and i would rather drive with that any day.

Check out the 2 pages of clutches we have to get a better idea of what you are looking for. There are a lot of specs in there for you to look over too.
if there is any further information you need let me know and i can get it for you. I can also work on pricing for you, i give discounts to all RCC members so please if you would like to buy a clutch do not order through the site, PM me first.

So the ACT is $500 what does the Excedy run 1k +? I am sure the Excedy has a better feel and I am sure there are many more that even beat the Excedy but we are talking about the BEST clutch for the price.

i just bought my exedy. when i get it in i will let you know. not pushin those numbers though so im not sure if my opion would even matter ha.

Don, are you still looking for a clutch?? I just found out, my ACT spare clutch I have is infact a 6 puck.. If you want it, you could have it for $325 with pressure plate and 6 puck. Its used but in decent shape!

Thanks Phil, but I've already ordered a brand new one, besides I think it's best to have a part like a clutch to come with a warranty.
