2600 - stiffer clutch, almost "on or off" feeling. can hold more abuse (obviously) hard for daily driving but lots of people dont mind it.

2100 - almost stock pedal pressure, less wear and tear on slave cylinder and other drivetrain parts. wont hold hard launches for as long as a 2600 but if you dont launch your car daily the 2100 would be best for a DD

the 2100 sounds good one of my friends ran an high 11 second awd and used a 2100 no problem it just depends on how you drive the car

Get the 2600, adjust your pedal correctly, and have the system bled correctly and you are set to go. The 2100 won't last long enough at all on repeated launches. The 2600 feels slightly stiffer than stock for about a week untill you get used to it and then you are good to go. If you had an awd I would recomend the 2900. Just make sure to get the street disc a.k.a.-the organic one and an oem tob.

I would not reccomend the 2900 on a awd due to strain on the transfer case.

How long did your transfer case last with the 2900?

have you ever used a 2900?? I didn't think so, the clutch puts preasure on the crank not the t-case. Idiots that can't launch their car are the cause for huge stress on transfer cases.

I also second the 2900 for an awd. I've used the 2100, 26, and 29

ive had 2 cars with 2100 and one with 2600. 2100 is definitly the better choice for daily driving.

I would get the 2600. I have seen multiple FWD's with bolt on mods toast 2100's after only a few months.

2600 is fine for DD. I've had mine on for a month and it's a little stiffer then stock but no issues for me hell my wife has no issues when she drives. Anyone that tells you otherwise has some weak legs. Get the 2600/2900

Sounds like some FWDers can't drive. I've had my 2100 on my car for nearly 3 years, making some decent power, and it's still holding strong.


91BlackLaser - We cannot safely and accurately recommend a clutch to you without knowing how much torque your car is producing. Also, please fill out your mod list in your profile.

get the 2100 unless you plain on replacing ## tranny then go with the 2600. The 2100 holds just fine.

That is an opinion not a fact, I reccomend you keep your opinions to yourself when discussing parts you haven't used.

I hasve used the 2100 and now I have a 2600. The 2100 doesnt hold up for crap and this is a fact. Go with the 2600 even if you are only launching on the weekends. Its a much better choice.

I have been told by a local DSM shop that a 2100 is best because anything stronger with a 7 bolt would make the engine crankwalk. Of course I don't believe this. But this is a very knowledgeable shop (very good reputuation) Why would this be said then?

Because they are idiots, crankwalk is sssssssssssooooooooooo overdiagnosed. It is true that the added preasure the stiffer clutch brings does put larger amounts of stress on the crank and its bearings but if an engine is going to walk its going to happen regardless of what clutch you put in there. To the OP I promise you if you go with a 2600 you won't be dissapointed. I had a 2100 in my car at first and hated it. clutch pedal was too soft and like I said just would not hold up to the repeated launch abuse.

Yeah I guess you are right. I have never used one. My information comes from Lucas English of www.englishracing.net. He is probably one of the best dsm builders in the pacific northwest and when I was choosing the clutch for my car he strongly advised me against a 2900 for the very reason I stated. So I guess you are calling him a idiot since he told me himself that he quit using the 2900 due to having problems with the transfer case and that since he switched to a 2600 he has not had any problems. Go check out his site and you tell me if he knows how to launch a dsm or not. Maybe you should think before you start talking trash and calling people idiots.

i would go with 2100 for DD

Thats the way I see it as well, however, without naming names, this is one of the Big Boys of the DSM community, working pretty closely with a certain drag car and racer we all know and love...

See I knew you would come around Have you had any personal hands on experience with the clutch??? Yes, or no? I am not tyring to be rude but he said she said bullshit is what brings around all the horse shit you have to wade through on internet forums. I have personally helped install and driven/seen them driven on a daily basis a handful of awd dsms running 2900's and 500+whp and none of them have had a single problem and all would recomend the clutch to any serious awder.

I went from Stock to a 2100. I felt almost no difference. If I were to do it again, I would go for the 2600. Dont worry about having a hard time driving it because you WILL get used to anything. Even a 2900. The 2100 dosn't hold too up well when it heats, but 2600 will.

i would go with a 2600,they last way longer

Zach is right.
I have 2600 on my FWD

Same here. Wish I had gotten the 2600 too but I don't launch my car alot anyways (afraid it will break)
