Hey guys I am needing a new clutch again.. Previously I had a Fidanza 2.1 in the car for about 20,000 miles. Clutch had a lot of life in it but a spring popped out causing engagement issues. I moved up to a Fidanza 4.3, have about 12-15,000 miles on it now, same issue I am pretty sure. I haven't pulled the clutch out yet but I am fairly certain that's the problem again. Symptoms seem the same. I'm starting to wonder if I am adjusting the master improperly but I followed the Jacks Trans videos and did exactly as he said. I never had any issues shifting or with clutch engagement. Pedal always felt heavy and was perfect IMO.
Basically now I am looking for a good clutch that's going to last. I'm thinking unsprung this time or possibly even a twin disc if I could find a good deal. My car is FWD. I am looking to put down over 500hp, and plan on dyno tuning it very soon once I get a new clutch and few other components in the car. I do drive my car a lot, probably almost 20,000 miles a year. I DD it every day back and forth to work except when it's freezing out. Clutch chatter doesn't really bother me much, I have an unsprung XTD in my AWD and it's very loud but it doesn't really bother me at all. What are your suggestions? I really liked the feel of the Fidanza pressure plates, and maybe that combined with a Southbend disc would last me quite some time? I'm really not sure so I am seeking for your advice on what to do.
