TOO MUCH TORQUE

i heard this is an upgrade for OEM clutch but a little better? well my next clutch, i want it to be stiffer and have a lower engaging point......will this clutch do this? im not familiar with clutches since i never had to replace one. if its not the clutch, then what is needed to get a stiffer pedal and lower engaging point? flywheel?<---dont even know what that does

J. Funk

yes, its a small upgrade from stock and is a little stiffer

Dark@Powers

No the flywheel does not control the engagement point, and this clutch is slighty stiffer than the stock clutch.

did your engaging point lower?

Dark@Powers

I can honestly tell you I'm not sure if it changes the engaging point. It will defininetly grab harder, but I'm not sure if higher duty clutches actually change the catch point. I would love to know also..

not good news.....i could care less if it is stiffer, i just want it to have a lower engaging point. stiffer is just a plus but lower engaging point is a must. Ive driven my friends gsr and ek and i can make the car shift a lot more smoother.

You usually pay a shop when it involves transmission work... clutch, flywheel, etc. Couple hundred from the shop.

1. find your clutch adjustment cable.
2. adjust it to where you want it.
3. enjoy it.

you can put your clutch engagment basically anywhere you want.

I plan on doing my clutch myself.. I paid for a clutch on my last car and spent over $700 for a non upgraded clutch.. not doing that again

All it takes is you, a friend or two, a jack (one is ok, but two is better), and about four hours. More if you take your time, and there's nothing wrong with that

Edit: Oh, and the stage 1 isn't bad at all for a stock ish car. I like mine.

This is news to me, especially because I only thought it worked for cable transmissions.

steveo135

well no chassis, engine\tranny were ever stated so he may have a cable tranny but i'd say chances are that wont work for him
