what do you guys think of this clutch kit?

i want to put it in my 94 prelude. i've only heard of one guy using an "XTD" clutch and he says he loves it. but other than that i've never heard of it. check out the link and tell me what you think. thanks.

 

I actually just put an XTD clutch and flywheel in my car. I love it...I have only had it in for about a week now but it seems to be fine!

 

really? does it grab pretty good, can you feel a difference in torque?what do you think of that particular kit in the link?

 

Yes, The clutch feels great. I have a 12lbs flywheel and love it! Yes, It seems like you have more torque due to the flywheel. A friend of mine has a 6puck clutch and hates it! So I have no experience with a 6puck other than his car. I have the stage 1.

 

what do you think would work best for me then? why does he hate it?

I don't know your setup, I don't know what you are wanting out of a clutch, I don't know anything about what you like, So what works best for you I dont know. He hates the 6puck in is integra because its extremely stiff and you have to basically rev to 3k just to launch from a traffic light.

 

the car has the original H22A1 with intake,header, and full exhaust. not that it matters but i also installed an aluminum koyo radiator with samco hoses and ngk plugs and wires. i want a clutch that really grabs and one that i can feel a difference in torque. i noticed you live Ky. so do I. unfortunately in the far corner of it though.

 

I wouldn't so stage 3 in a daily driver with only minor bolt ons. Stage 1 Exedy and 8ld Fidanza Flywheel.

 

i found a exedy kit that came with an 8lb fidanza flywheel but the clutch was just an OE replacement.

 

Well its not the clutch that makes the torque feel better its the flywheel...I personally wouldnt get anything under 10lbs. But some people on here will say go with an 8lbs fidanza. But on that issue...Its the persons own call. With your set up you would be fine with a stage 1 or 2 clutch. I mean I have a JDM H22A, I/H/E/Flywheel/plugs&wires/short shifter. And I am happy with the stage 1 xtd and 12lbs flywheel.

 

The exedy OE replacement is a Stage 1 from what I have read here on HT.

They don't actually produce 2 seperate units. Just the one and sell it as both.

 

thanks alot guys, the exedy kit i found with the flywheel is only $250 plus shipping so i think i'll go for that.

 

UltraRev here on HT is selling the Fidanza 8lb alone for $130.

I just replaced my stage1 XTD after less than a year.......and it was all the way gone you know.They are good for the price,but If you drive hard,do burnouts and stuff like that,you will want a name brand stage2 clutch at least,like exedy,act ect.Beacause the XTD will not hold up.And I agree about not wanting/ or needing a stage3 for ur daily driving duties.
Oh yeah I kept the xtd flywheel 12lb.....its just fine

 

I don't do burnouts...I would rather save the wear on my tires.

 

just get a competition clutch kit

you won't have to worry about anything (depending on which package you choose)

 

so did you grab that kit yet? if so and installed. let me know your opinion. keep us updated if so.
