I'd like to hear from ppl who have actually had a xtd clutch installed on their car, ive been trying to research this but its alot of "I heard" and so on. so if u have used one and have a good or bad review please post or if u know someone well who has tried one, what was there experience. I'm specifically looking at their 6 puck sprung stage 4 clutch. which they say is good for 315 ft/lbs. my clutch is in need of replacing and i was thinking of trying it out. price is a factor for me.

I have a B18c5 full bolt ons I was beating on it all the time. Prob only 3k miles on it so far. But right now I'm rebuilding my motor and boosting on it so hopefully it will hold up

i running the stage 1 for my b20 2 years no problems here

search the forum. mostly bad reviews. you can kind of rig it by using the $150 act 6 puc with a generic whatever you have laying around pressure plate if cost is a factor

how much torque does the car make?

i only ask since there is no way you need a puc clutch unless the car is boosted

245 hp here and it's holding great on my b17a

i am boosted and going for more, clutch was starting to slip before i put it away for the winter, im only making 250 torque but the stage 4 says its good for 315 which is somewhere around where i want to be. i have a whole bunch of parts waiting to go on and im gonna pull my car out sometime in the next 30 or 40 days so i want to order a clutch. i did search the forum but it seems like ppl just saying what theyve "heard" so i wanted to get some first hand opinions, ill prolly give it a shot cuz u cant beat the price and if i nuke it well lesson learned, just lookin for some input is all.

Whiterice-gsr

which one did u go with and mileage and so on?

i used the 6 puc ceramic xtd clutch in my corvette. not bad but the biggest issue i had was that it was extremely grabby...shocker right? and that the transmission always would grind second gear. not sure if clearances were off or what but i sold the car a month later.

Whiterice-gsr

Whiterice-gsr

im rockin a f1 clucth. stage 2 no complaints.. and i know another person that has stage 3 and has like 2000 miles on it by now. i have about 5000 miles on it.

Whiterice-gsr

ya so thats another question, obviously longevity wont be as long as an oem clutch but what can i expect in that area. i dont mind doin a clutch once a season but twice i wouldnt

Whiterice-gsr

Sold, ill go rigid.

speedooo

I had an unsprung 6 puck on a stock ls for 1.5 years and then a year boosted at around 300whp, never slipped or had any issues.

Also had a sprung 6 puck on a stock d16y7 for a few months, then an unsprung 6 puck on a d16y8 for about a year.

I had springs pop out of exedy disks about once every year for 3 years but never had an issue with the ebay crap.

Whiterice-gsr
