I am redoing my entire tranny

Are you planning on running a really large turbo or upgrading to something crazy later on? Your list leads me to believe that you either need a 2100lb or 2600lb clutch. Since Shep told me 2100 is good enough for 12's you could get that, I bought a 2600lb clutch though and of course couldn't be happier. I think that is all you really need, a 2900lb clutch would just be over kill.

Look into www.southbendclutch.com I have there DXD OFC SS kit and love it.

Go with a 2600 at the most.

I recommend Exedy. But if you absolutely must get ACT, stay away from the street disc.

Why would you stay away from the street disc?

My feeling is you should go with the 2600, I have a 2100 now but will soon be outgrowing it . I am getting a 2600 with a shep tranny.

Why would you stay away from the street disc?

Do I really have to explain? Take a look around at some of the recent threads about ACT.

Why not look at the slowboy 3500 or 4000? I plan on going with the slowboy 4000.

I would recommend the 2600, not the 2100.

Pair it with our flywheel: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170916

Inexpensive combo, and our local customer love it.

I am not sure about others, but my experience has made me love ACT clutches.
I had a centerforce in two other cars and wasn't pleased.
My 2100 has been great for a high 12 sec daily driver that goes to the track on weekends.
My plans are 11's this summer though so I am going with the 2600.
I am not going to switch brands until I personally have a problem.

and you will see that it was due to install error, a bad design of our bellhousing by Mitsu, or a combo of both.

Go with a 2600 and a street disk.

A 2100 will not put up with alot of track abuse and hard launches for long. Go with the 2600 w/ street disc.

 

[JDMFirstGen]

You guys underestimate the 2100, It has held a fair amount of abuse from me. But the 2600 is the way to go.

I have changed my mind. After talking to a couple of local DSMers and Martin Ruiz from the Speed Factor, I have decided to go with a SPEC stage 3.

Spec's costomer support is very great. I have a friend witha fiero and we just got done swapping in a GTP motor (supercharged 3800 series 2) and we put in a spec clutch with the motor. The clutch failed because it was rubbing the housing of the tranny, Spec imeadiately redesigned the pressure plate and resurfaced his flywheel. The sent him the new, narrower clutch in a period of 2 weeks.

From what I have heard, ACT blows off customers with clutch problems.

So i'm going with a SPEC stage 3.
