dropping tranny, new clutch and flywheel
 

Since I probably have to drop the tranny and get it fixed (shifts straight from 5th to reverse, lots of play in shifter) I might as well be upgrading my clutch and maybe flywheel too. Should I go for an ACT with light(er) flywheel or any other ideas..?
rather not a puck-style clutch btw

thnx

Lots of clutch threads on here. I am very pleased with my ACT HD with lightened stock flywheel.

I've driven a car with a light flywheel. You're better off getting a 1.6 clutch if you want faster spin up...but its negligible.

how much will an ACT HD hold? and how heavy is your flywheel now?

i took my ACT HD to 180rwtq...probably wouldn't take much more....

get a XD if you plan to make big power trust me you will be thankfull you did.

is the XD still streetable? as in no on-off engagement of clutch and sprung disc?

yes...the XT kits just have a heavier PP but the same disc...it's what I'd go with if I'd buy a new one. should hold 270TQ. Engagment will be the same, just gotta get used to a heavier pedal...however, imho I like a heavier pedal.

thank you, I'll look into it. Probably crazy priced over here..

this the right one? (www.carolinaclutch.com)

what's the difference between a 4 and 6 puck btw?

4 more engage ever so harsher than 6....


you want part ZM2-XTSS rated at 307TQ.

ty, I sent carolinaclutch an email about shipping.. around here there's only clutches for vw's and subies..

what baout: http://www.mx5mad.com/

don't have the ACT.
shipping from carolinaclutch is $175.. the shipping of my wheels was only $150:confused:

yeah but they are based in the UK....

how's that going to help if they don't have the clutch I want..?:td:

i dunno...they are a BEGi dealer.....BEGi sells ACT....maybe they can work something out?

I could try that, maybe get a mani, dp and clutch all at the same time, would be best shipping/tax wise. the wallet probably won't allow it tho..:td:

they got credit cards over in the netherlands right?! :rofl:
