My clutch started slipping real bad, when i go up hill it takes for ever and makes me want to kill myself...lols today i punched it a bit and just didnt want to pick up as fast as it used to. i was looking at some ebay clutches and wondered if anyone has used, none of my friends have or anyone i know thats close to me. i want your opinions and know about what the results were, and if they live up to their specs. any info is aprreciated thanks in advance..

john666

even e bay cluchs have a brand... ie exedy etc so it really depends on which one ur talking about.. perhaps a link or something would help us give u an idea what you should be expecting

I got my ACT 6 puck for 329 i believe, lists for like 450 on ACT's website, just get a brand name clutch for cheap on there

ek-g6

im talking about the XTD, XTR, F1, or anything that isnt a name brand such as centerforce, ACT, Exedy...etc.

I heard ACT clutches burn out flywheel? any truths to that?

z6hatchboy

Never have heard of that one to be honest. Theres a place on there i seen that sold act pressure plates with f1 discs, so the f1 disc's might be ok, but i cant say for sure.

How do you burn out a flywheel?!
Do you mean the clutch is too abrasive and makes you resurface the flywheel?

I go clutch shopping once every 2 yrs and all i buy is Exedy, because it's OEM.

What mods do you have on your car? What mods do you plan on putting on your car? My personal opinion is that people on here tend to buy WAY too stiff a clutch for their power requirements.

i just heard about that, and wanted to know, my car is a DD, and just something thats good for a while, and good enough to race every once in a while. im planning on putting turbo in, like z6hatchboy said and they going h22a4 lols

i would never buy a no name brand on ebay for car parts. but hey, thats just me. i guess what i'm trying to say is save up some money, invest in something good and have the good feeling that it won't break down anytime soon

I 2nd and 3rd this motion.

I don't quite understand why people get so cheap on a car, especially a moving part, when it's gonna cost $x,xxx to fix a potential problem.

Hell, i don't like buying BRAND NAMES on ebay.

So, you're planning on doing a motor swap to an H22? Well you can't take the transmission with you so it won't matter.

What is your HP goal for the turbo? If you're just boosting to 6lbs or something decent like that then you should be fine with most brands 'stage 1'.

ek-g6

i was thinking around the double digit boosting, and fully built the motor, maybe for fun shoot some nitrous till it blows up or something..how about that centerforce dual friction clutch set?

All ive heard about the F1 Racing clutches is good things, they have a 12,000 mile 12 month warranty on them (the ones on ebay)..I actually just bought the stage 1 F1 racing clutch yesterday for my eg..Total after shipping was $102 for stage 1..like i said ive heard nothing but good thinks about them (f1 racing/gripforce

ek-g6

how did it do? did it grab good, could you shift smoothly?

Colby71

you should go with your first though and kill yourself haha jp. really dont kill yourself. By getting a no name/ ebay brand cluch you are asking for a problem's. There are reasons why you can get these so cheep, low quality, have not spent time and money testing and desining the part. IMO stick with the good stuff OEM or namebrand ACT, Exedy ECT.

ek-g6

Yeah i agree brand name it is..i just hope ACT last for a long time..thanks for all the help..time to have a beer lols

Vtec Civic 93

I just ordered it yesterday from ebay, havent gotten it yet =P

Vtec Civic 93

Your just assuming there low quality because its from ebay and its low priced..u cant do that..if they werent any good why would they offer a 12,000 mile warranty? and ive read numerous forums/articles about the f1 racing clutches off ebay and there all GOOD feedback..u cant just sterotype stuff on ebay, not all of it is low quality..and the people i got mine from on ebay also had like 100k Feedback, 100% positive.

Also it says they test them too make sure they work..

i bought the stage 1 with full face organic disk, and high quality pressure plate..

F1 racing on ebay also has Carbon-Kevlar disks for stage 2 and up. (bulletproof material)

Vtec Civic 93

Heres the one i bought

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...92391

ek-g6

i wasent ruling out ebay stuff..just wanted to know some results. even if they say xxx mile warranty, would they really honor it, its not like you could drive the thier company, and just get a replacement right there..just because they say it made out of this and out of that, how would you know? but im not bad mouthing them..just a bit skeptical about the product.

Vtec Civic 93

Yeah, that comment was more towards colby
