Blew my clutch the other day and now Im looking for something on the affordable side($200 and under) and that isnt OEM. Just threw a OEM clutch in it a little less than a year ago and its fried already.

If anybody knows anything about this clutch or has any other options for me I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

That clutch looks about as useful as a shit flavored lypop. Don't waste your money on anything like that. Think of it this way, the car will only be as good as the money you put towards your parts. I know this to be true because of all the failures I've seen with cheaply bought parts on DSMs. Do yourself and your car a favor and just fork over the money for an ACT.

1slocolt is right don't waste money on an cheap clutch do it right the first time because it's a 7 hour job to change the clutch and you don't want to do it again in a year , I bought a cheap clutch once and blew out the springs in it after 10000 kms and you should be able to get 100000 kms on a oem clutch I have gotten more and I drive hard. If you are frying a clutch a year then you may want to look at how your shifting, If you are getting more than 250 whp or more better clutch is a must

On the other hand... you could be the guinea pig and try it out, then write up a parts review. You would be doing a great service to the DSM community. And to your country.

Well I WAS thinking, this thing is about the same price as an OEM(+ about $20), the last OEM I used didnt last a year, so Im going to assume that if I bought another OEM it would do the same. SO, for about the same price I can buy this clutch that is supposedly better than stock, if it lasts less than a year, I will be in the exact situation that I would be in if I bought another stocker(quality and pricewise), BUT, if it turns out to hold up and last longer than a year, I would be in the green.


Theres my logic behind it, I think it makes some sense.

 

[4Motion4g63]

yet that logic means you were trashing $200 bucks on a not so sure thing just to repeat this again, Possibly sooner than later. Common man, USE common sence ITS CHEAP FOR A REASON. I realy doubt the quality anything Cheap on ebay, Its the internet, there is no
one person even accontable for the quality, fit, or function.
Basicly lemmie sell u some stuff!
ive got a turd i can polish up, put it in a box, then print a pritty picture of what you would want to be in the box, Sell it for an unbelievably low price, and when ive collected your money, as i dont give a shit if it works cause im already on the way to the bank!

I see this all the time in car audio, its a scam its crap and its cheap shit! If you cant contact a person directly or the parts dont have a great Rep. then keep shopping.
Besides What will you Do when your car breaks down EMAIL HIM!

 

[Black91TSiAWD]

Yeah I know there isnt much common sense to it, things ARE cheap for a reason. But so am I.....Im so broke right now and this happened at about the worst time it could have, fact of the matter is I dont have $350+ for a good clutch. So, Im just trying to see if there are any good options for $200 and less out there. If not, I will just buy another OEM and spank that in a year like I did the last one, but I wont if I dont have to.


BTW....Im positive its not my driving that killed the clutch in such a short period of time, I know for a fact there was less than 10 launches on that clutch, and I know how to shift and I dont beat on the car all the time, I think there was too much power for the stocker, I was running 13-14psi, are my mods enough to kill a stocker that quick? I think they might be.

If i was face to face with you guys your breath would have to smell like shit cause your all talkin out your ass. I would bet anything that none of you have even tried this clutch or any other ebay clutch and are going off internet hearsay. I haven't used this clutch but I have used two other ebay clutches (XTD racing clutches) and both worked great. Neither slipped and fittment and quality was just ass good as act and you see much better holding capacity then this clutch in your link. My stage 3 was like 1900 pounds(pretty much a act2100) and my new clutch is 2500 pounds(act 2600). The stage 3 cost like 200 shipped and the stage 4 like 50 bucs more or something maybe even cheaper. I'm no genius but cheaper + same performance + good quality = Good choice in my book

 

[fastezz]

I can vouch, XTD Stage 3 clutch and love it!!!!!!!!

The truth is you can't be sure. I have bought alot of Ebay stuff for my cars and only one thing has failed. The ssautochrome gt28 replacement turbo for my 240sx with a s13 swap i only got 1 month out of it and it died. If i was you i would get the clutch stock clutches just dont last.

xtd stage 3 here also.works great,6 puck is hard to get used too though.act had to get started somewhere too.
