should I yank the metal clutch out for an organic clutch?
 

I'm taking the trans out again and I'm nervous about using my spec S3 clutch because of shock loading. Is this ridiculous, or should I buy an organic clutch?

Any recommendations on a clutch NOT MADE BY ACT?

stock 1.6 clutch should do the job. Readily available and easily obtained for free.

I have a standard 1.6 clutch and flywheel sitting in my garage, you can have it if you pay shipping from New Zealand.

PM me if interested.

I have a decent 1.6L clutch sitting in my trunk. You can has it. It has a pressure plate that doesn't look stock, but I haven't looked into it. Regardless the PP is useless at your power levels. Without looking back at your build I'm assuming you have some badass shit.


Although I highly recommend the ACT Xtreme. I make love to it nightly.

I have an Exedy Stage 1 clutch(organic) and find it has good engagement and isn't a pain to drive. I am running at 250/250 and it seems to be holding very well.

This.

I think your just being a bitch? ;)

Here's one I just purchased, check out the specs and its not ACT;)

Ok hustler...I just read your entire build thread...again.

You have a six speed and a torsen...chill the fuck out.



btw, shouldn't you be racing by now.


Track paging Dr. Hustler...

For such an internet ethug/badass hustler is the biggest fucking pussy I've seen yet:giggle:

"Rape face on the track, etc etc etc" and he still hasnt gone

My flywheel and pressure plate are pressed together out of sheer terror. You clearly aren't man enough to duplicate this, though, so I'll recommend you use a stock 1.6 clutch so your feminine legs can at least have a hope of pressing it down far enough to back the car out of your boyfriend's guest spot.

:greddy: :giggle:

bitch I haven't been home yet. If i didn't live in a hotel it would have been done a long-time ago.

I'm worried about breaking shit and ending up marooned at the track.

you could try the FM stage II, or stop being the biggest pussy-ass e-bench racer known to man.

I'm taking out my stock clutch from the 02 I have... and replacing it with a SPEC Stage III. You are welcome to have my old 56k mile clutch if you want it.

Tho, on my 99 with the turbo, MSM 6 speed, and open POS diff... it did just fine. What's your concern... your diff or smthing else?

I'm most worried about getting stranded at the track, the middle of nowhere, and leaving my car on the highway when it breaks then returning to find it stolen...again.

I dunno, sounds like you are being a touch worried. If shits gonna break, it's gonna break no matter what. I'd say stick with the cluch but just don't bang gears too often.

Cheers,
Prospero

hustler baby, turns out the shit I just pulled out is some kind of Exedy, but don't know what the markings mean. It's a 1.6L size, and in decent shape.

I have no idea if it's what you're looking for, but if so let me know todayish.

Webster is way the fuck out of my way home, but I'll swing by and give it to your dingleberry worry wart ass if you do three things:

1. Relax about your setup.
2. Don't laugh at mine.
3. Buy me a smoothie.

See ya,
