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)

Mazda ACT Performance Clutch Kit
Mazda Miata 94-05 Extreme Sprung Hub Race Kit
ACT Extreme Sprung Hub 4 Puck Race Kit

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:

1.8L ACT Extreme w/ street disk and Fidanza aluminum flywheel here.

nah, just trading shells and rocks..


I don't have one, and I'm sure as fuck my mom would kill me for even suggesting it:gtfo:

see, now why would you get someone else invovled in your affairs....you have lots to learn!

not much choice, still live at home, just turned 19..
don't even own the car for a full year yet..

Oscar, I have a like new 1.6 size ACT HD & Fidanza 7.5 lb flywheel in the classifieds. Check it out, and send me a PM if you're interested. Only actual shipping charges, too. :cool:

I have the 1.8 HD on my car with a 15 lb lightened stock 'wheel. It should hold everything my greddy can throw at it.

Since when does CarolinaClutch not do free shipping? I got my ACT HD/6puck out to the west coast for $376. No tax, no shipping.

Free international shipping is pretty rare.

he lives in the netherlands (sounds creepy)

mm I have a 1.8l... and was looking for an ACT XT, would a HD hold disco potato-power?

you're talking like 300 hp? I'd go 1.8 xt

Ben

will you mail me some smoked Gouda? I had fun in that country.

sure, you mail me a begi mani? :gay:

no problem, pm me if you were serious:ugh2:

by the way, should I get the tranny rebuilt? since they're taking it apart anyway, might as well replace syncro's and stuff if possible.. and offcourse oil seals

we don't get cheese like that over here.

I can get smoked guoda at the grocery store.

I can get an ACT prolite flywheel for a decent price, worth it? and who has heard of the LSD Motorsports 6 puck clutch kit? torque rating is 298 ft/lbs... could get that aswell in a good deal local, wich saves me shipping and taxes from the US...
