Good post to bring back from the dead.

 

I'm trying to decide between a 2md and 2ks..... for my turbo itr pushing in the vicinity of a little over 200ft/lb tq.....

Is there a 2kd available?

 

Great thread. I remember reading this a looooooong time ago. Anyways, i re-read it a couple weeks ago and ordered myself a 2MD6

 

a little off topic but, my buddy has an action clutch that went out and the local shop he bought it from has taken over 3 months to get him a new one, does anyone have the phone # for Action or know anyone that can help us out?

 

Alex at Action (323-269-2281)

Alex and Action clutch are a great group of guys. They'll take care of you!

 

Just being curious, what do you think of all these clutches on ebay? are they terrible quality?

I just wished the pics were working.

most of the pictures are still up there.

I have a question about the flywheel warping, on average how long would this take? Given my car is a daily driver, and I do plan on eventually taking road trips with my car, I can't have flywheels self destructing mid trip.

After all the reading, I guess I settled on the 2MD Action clutch, which i'm hoping is suitable for my 200whp daily/270-280whp max on a b16a with LSD transmission. Would this be a suitable decision?

 

my 2MS was great for my B16 (84.5mm) with an LSD, but after 21k miles my pressure plate cracked in 3 spots, maybe I should call action and see what they think.

Anybody here ever use the SPEC Honda clutches or in other vehicles? Is the quality comperable to other brands? They come with a high-pressure pressure plate with optional lightening. </TD></TR></TABLE>

I use their stage 3 right now and it is pretty impressive for the coin... holding the power I am making without a problem and damn smooth for a 4 puck. easily street driven... pedal pressure is a little more stiff than stock but not bad at all.

we shall see how long it holds up... so far...

Just wanted to say I have an Action Dual Diaphram pressure plate and Kevlar race disc for my turbocharged b16 S1 cable tranny. I am very happy. The pressure needed to depress the clutch is a stiff solid feel and yet you can still find the point of engagement easily when driving on the street.

 

Master of the Universe which is better Miba cooper ceramic or Kevlar clutch?

Any expirence with XTD? they seem to be nicely priced on ebay

 

I love Action Clutches!

 

i am in the market for a clutch to go in my dd/drag racing turbo d16. what does everyone think about the lsd motorsports clutch kits? how do they hold up on the street and the drag strip?

Yeah just since I spoted this thread back from the dead and I remember I posted this... I thought I would update.

The clutch made it about 1000 miles before I pulled it out to check it cause it felt like it has not grabbing hard on shifts... needless to say the thing looks like a rainbow. I guess I had some slippage, not to mention the nasty grooves it put in the flywheel.

Some people say they have good luck with these, others get what I got... so whatever the case I will be trying something a little stronger anyways since I will be making a little more power now than then.

 

this thread is old school.

I wonder if any of the lesser clutch companies have improved there quality?

Are there any new companies out since this thread was made?

 

Yaa you guys will hate me.

Bump for a great read.

Just like me, I'm sure some people are wondering which clutch kit to buy.

Should be stickied
