What is the best Brand of Clutch for my RS Eclipse?

[eclipsers97boy]

So very soon i'm going to be repalcing my 420A motor with a new one (Bottom end issue). While Doing the swap I'm gonna do a new Timing Belt, Water Pump And Engine Gasket Kit. I also Figured I'd replace the Clutch since It has Roughly 170K on it, it grabs fine it's just I'm there and I figure mine aswell replace it. My plans in the near future maybe a Hann Turbo kit so I wanna get a decent one without breaking the bank. Any suggestions?

OEM. Just because your going turbo doesnt mean its going to ruin your clutch.

Is the factory clutch Sachs or LUK?

This. F1 RACING STAGE 1 PERFORMANCE STREET CLUTCH KIT SET - eBay (item 400169231483 end time Mar-01-11 13:26:02 PST)

bulletdsm who is a wiseman on here reccomended it to me. I got it installed about a week ago. It can hold more power than the stock one and is good for lightly modified cars. It feel no different then stock. Maybe slightly more grabby.

No offence I had that exact same clutch in my 1995 GST and I went thru it in 15,000 miles! So i'm not gonna get another one!

Hopefully that doesnt happen to mine! Ive heard alot of good things about it. Did you ever do hard launches or dump it?

When I was non-turbo I had great luck with the spec stage 3+, It has been a few years though so you might have better options now of course! Spec Stage 3+ Clutch Kit 95-99 Eclipse/Talon 420a It may be on the pricey side for you though, not sure what kind of budget you are working with either!

Ya that's what sold me on it. Tons of people recommended it to me and I've heard of guys with turbo 420as running it with no problems.

Southbend makes excelent clutches for our cars.

 

[talonted 1g]

SOUTHBEND hands down. Not so much pedal pressure, easier on the hydraulics and great clamping force when needed with a stock feel on the pedal.
