I agree with ACT. I plan on using this as well. Clutches vary in price, depending on many factors. a basic clutch would be fine, but what are the plans for the car?

UnionCity LS

all motor, nothin special, cams at the most...later on. thanks everyone

The ACT pressure plate is too damn strong and engages too harshly...destroying the bearings inside the tranny

checkout this website: http://www.landspeedracing.com get there phone number and ask for Matt....tell him "Nate from ohio reffered you" and he will hook you up...They sell a clutch called "competition clutch" which I have used for a year now...love it to death never had any problems with it at all

For under 180 or so WHP , Why not a stock TYPE R clutch, Honda dependability for about $320 shipped.

I have an ACT.

The clutch kit was $250, $440 if you get the steetlite flywheel with it.

Doesnt seem very harsh to me, but then again i got the softest pressure plate they offer. I would say so long as you stay away from anything heavier then just the HD it will be fine. And it can still handle 230ft/lbs with the street disk.

where did u get it for $250? that sounds good

i'm in the process of switching out the clutch on my brother's 99si... we went with the exedy organic from http://www.clutchcityonline.com.... they ship fast and i haven't had a problem.... if you've got the money, a sprung exedy 3 puck is fabulous!!!

Nothing is better than an ACT SSHD combo....seriously.


Feels like stock if you know how to drive it, grabs really hard when you need to, and holds very well with time.

We run the HDSS in my room mates built turbo ITR....clutch feels brand new after 3 years of hard driving.

I have one in my now blown single cam....but I wouldn't get a different clutch for street driving and racing without going crazy with the horsepower

EvoTuner99

id go for a act or clutchmaster ! never heard anything bad about them

If you drive hard, are racing clutch hard on your tranny...what would be the perfect clutch.

I call bullshit.

My FIANCEE' (meaning a female y0!) has had the ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate and Modified Street disc in her car for FOUR years and it has NEVER had one tranny problem whatsoever even with me driving that **** hard.

BTW:

After 4 years of use it still barks second and even third ith grippy 195/50/15 tires.

BTW:

I have destroyed THREE trannies in 1.5 years with the use of a 6-puck disc.

6-puck discs are what destroy trannies.

was it sprung or not?i have several friends who have been running brass puck discs with sprung centers and never had a problem.the one person i know who is running an unsprung brass puck disc is starting to have trouble(but,granted,he's also running a dual-diapraghm PP too)
