Ok I just fixed my tranny ( Bad synchros ) and also found out my clutch is dead, and the PP too. My clutch was a 4 puck, unsprung Clutchnet disc. My PP was apparently the stock one from 94 lol. I liked how this worked, even though I bought the car used with that clutch already there, who knows what abuse it had already taken. I used it 12 months before any symptoms showed up pointing at the clutch.

My questions are regarding clutch + Pressure plate recommendations.
I loved how my previous combination worked, but then again this is my first sports car, so no experience.
Here are the things I want, in order of importance.
1. DURABILITY
2. Good grip. ( I wouldn't want to DOWNGRADE from how it felt before )
3. Driving comfort

I'm also. . . searching for economy. My current budget is around $250 for both parts. From my research in clutchnet, thats enough. What do you guys suggest???

94 del Sol VTEC 151 whp 110 ft/lbs
If anything, only expecting maybe increasing to 180 whp aprox in the next 2 years.

Thanks in advanced!

umm. maybe you just need to check your clutch fluid and bleed it??? 250 bones back in your pockets.

I did that a few times. But When I dropped the transmission I visibly diagnosed the clutch and the PP are just gone. They need to be replaced.

id say a cheap clutch masters, or act would be fine. I had a 6 puck act and heavy duty pp in my car for 329. Worth every penny but thats a little over kill for you application. You may look into a fidanza or exedy too

What about durability? Would a stock PP with a sprung 4 pack last longer than a stronger PP + 4 puck? Will they eat into my flywheel quickly? This car is %50 daily driven. Would it be enough for my current power and my goal whp?

z6hatchboy

if the stock pp is in good condition that would be enough easily for you. But a stronger pp wont hurt anything, i've never heard of a stronger pp eating at a flywheel. I ran my last setup with a stock flywheel and its still doing awesome

For durability, I would get a sprung hub disk.

For your power goal, I would just get a pressure plate that is a little better such as a stage one or equivalent.

z6hatchboy

just for a little fact, sprung or sprung has no affect on performance, its just to reduce the chatter of engagement i believe. An act street disk would be a nice choice

Juan_Mitosis

Ok one last question
What would be the performance if I used an OEM replacement PP, like the Daikin one, and used a good 4 puck sprung disc? Would it last longer than having a stronger PP with that clutch? Thing is I'm having some $$$ issues recently, and I might have to skimp a little and buy the oem PP instead of aftermarket.

I got a Zoom stage one for $254 pp & clutch and a stock flywheel and is great. it has a good 25,000 miles and when i pulled the trany to check it it still had a good amount of meat left. and i beat on mine a lot. I've putten 1700 miles on it since i had it though.

oh, and when i put it on when my friend had this engine and tranny 3 years ago i got it from advance auto parts. price is still the same though.
