Fidanza Clutch

[Dave_Hash]

Since my ACT 2600 just failed I have been looking at the Fidanza Clutch and Flywheel, has anyone heard anything about Fidanza clutchs?

 

[Dave_Hash]

well I bought one, lets see how well it works

I wasn't aware that Fidanza was manufacturing/selling clutches. What is the part number of the one that you ordered?

 

[Dave_Hash]

Part Number is 361222

They have ads in some of the import mags saying that they make clutchs.

Slowboy racing has them http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=5936&

I got the kit and the Fidanza flywheel today, it all looks very nice and strong. I will have some pics up shortly.

Do an update after the install and break-in, and let us know how it performs.

Well, I got the car back on Friday and I must say so far this is the nicest clutch setup I have ever drove. I am half way through the 1000 miles I am going to put on the clutch before I think it is broke in. Fidanza says that you only need to put on 500 miles but I am going to stay on the safe side and put on the 1000 miles.

I also found out that my ACT 2600 did not fail but it was my throw out bearing that I got with the kit. I still put on the Fidanza setup but now have a ACT setup here with only around 5000 miles on it.

Same happen with my ACT 2600, the thrown out that came in the kit was bad. After less than 10,000 miles it totally destructed my flywheel, disc, and pressure plate. So I purchased a Fidanza 4.3 and as far as I know I for now am not going back ACT.

By the way, the torque rating for Fidanza clutch kit are 20% less than what they listed. Statistically the 4.3 list as 465 ft-lbs. is 580 ft-lbs. If it works out I'm going stay with Fidanza.

If you're interested, http://www.fasterthanthem.com is by far the cheapest Fidanza dealer.

I'm trying to comparison shop for the Fidanza 4.3 kit, and fasterthanthem.com doesn't have them in stock (for DSMs). All they carry is ACT and Centerforce

They have them in stock, the link is right here; http://www.fasterthanthem.com/product.php?productid=4603846 for $335. I told everybody that you got to type in the part number. It isn't under the make, model, year of a specific car search.
