Replaced the slave when I did the clutch, it was due for a change and the boot was in bad shape. When I replaced the clutch I totally drained the system and flushed about half a bottle of fluid through it until it came out spotless on the other end. that shouldn't be the issue. I also adjusted the pedal about half a thread past where it had to be to get into gear with the car running... have about 1/3-1/4" freeplay before noticable pressure plate effort.

wow, that sucks then

im a little worried now, but i hope that the clutch can hold up to the amount of power ill be using.

I wasn't really sure how stiff the 3X plate would be, but decided to go with it anyways. So I just orderd the 3x and 6 puck sprung... Lets see how it turns out.

I'm telling you its not bad at all. Like the stock clutch in my 5.0 Mustang.

Ordered mine yesterday.

Got a solid disk 3X pressure plate, and I can't wait.

Arkmage 02-28-2008 09:39 PM

Mine seems to be gripping better now... I don't know what happened, but the slippage in the clutch has been replaced by slippage in the tires. going sideways at speed is "different".

Mine have arrived, will be installed in a few weeks.

Good to hear your clutch is doing better Arkmage. I ended up going w/ the 3x from your previous post. I shall now blame you for my lopsided calves! :)

johndoe 02-29-2008 09:19 AM

well...now I guess I'll hold on to my 2x PP and maybe ask you for an update in a month or so.

Just so everyone knows, Igor is still honoring the group buy rates. I just got a 2X kit for my car. He said it was ok for peeps to continue to call and still get the rates originally listed. Just mention Miataturbo.

miataspeed1point6 03-17-2008 05:19 PM

I just ordered mine. 6 puck disk with 2x PP. I'm hoping it's the right setup, I REALLY don't want to have to replace the clutch for a while.

deliverator 04-07-2008 04:55 PM

Just ordered a 1.6 six puck with a 2x pp. Should be more than sufficient to hold the power I'm planning.

Now I just need to find a 1.6l flywheel.

What am I missing here? I just went to Clutchnet and online without talking to anyone the price for the sprung organic disc and the yellow pressure plate and the price was $270. The group buy was $355? Really, what am I missing?!?

Yellow != Red

cueball1 04-09-2008 11:08 PM

The red 2X PP is the same $170 as the yellow. Again, am I missing something? The group buy was $80 more than the published prices?!?

johndoe 04-10-2008 08:20 AM

that's interesting....I don't remember what the sites prices were at the time of the group buy. Maybe they've been dropped since then. Our price included shipping but I can't imagine it cost $80 to ship....
