my clutch is wearing out and im planning to get new ones. i hear that ACT will last longer than OEM clutches and perform a lot better. my question is will ACT be too agressive for a daily driven car with just intake and exhaust?...thanks...any words of wisdom are welcome.

 

A LONG time ago I had just the basics done to my LS and had an ACT 6 puck clutch and it was a pain to drive daily but I got used to it. The longevity of the clutch also matters on how you drive. I love my Exedy Stage 1 clutch.

 

It'll depend alot on what kind of ACT clutch you are looking at.

 

Sounds like you need the ACT street disk and pressure plate.

I have the street disk and extreme pressure plate on my race car (solo2) and it would be streetable.

The extreme pressure plate is more than i would like on my DD (harder to push in. But some would say im a *****.

you dont "need" anything more than the street.

 

great thanks guys for the feedback...i think im gonna go with clutch master stage 1...but feel free to continue this post...always glad to hear what others have done....with knowledge comes more knowledge...

how much is that running you?

 

I have an Exedy 3 puck (stage 2) cerametallic "thin". At first it was horrible on the street, very heavy (cable clutch EF) and would chatter like the dickens. As time wore on it got a bit lighter and 90% of the chattering is gone. I bought an Exedy stage 1 organic but never installed it--although I hear they are much easier to manage and can hold 200 hp/150 lb-ft.

I would get the most driveable clutch that can handle the power.

 

honestly i cant find any stage 1...so far i can only find stage 2's but they are going for about 200-400...depending on the material used...

 

why somone would spend 400$ on a stage one is beyond me.

 

The first thing I did to my Y7 was an Action 1MS (sprung 6-puck), and Fidanza flywheel. Now running the 1MD (unsprung 6-puck). Only engine mods ATM is an SMSP header and SMSP exhaust.

 

lol...yea that is kinda insane...but, you know brand names are always supposedly top-notch stuff...but i would never pay 400...maybe 200-300 max on stage 1's...how much was the clutch parts you got?...any deals i can get at?...

 

so how was the driveability on that 6puck you had?...aggressive? grab too hard?...j/w...and what about the one at the moment?...

 

Once I got use to it (about 3 days) it felt like stock driving every day. Grabs hard as hell. No chatter. Really hard pedal (I also have the Omnipower clutch master cylinder), but I don't notice it unless I've been driving a different stick car than mine for a day. ATM = thats all I have done to it ATM.

 

kool kool...thanks for the info...so is it a pain in the @ss to drive it during rush hour?...lol...

I believe I had 300 in my whole setup and that was with a 7.5lb xact (steel) flywheel.

 

No. Only time its a pain is when I get stuck between gears.

 

just get a xtd stage 3.
that will work just fine and its cheap as hell.
you could also get a lightweight flywheel at the same and still save money

 

I have an exedy stage 1 from ebay 80 bucks. It held 8 psi no problem, just as easy to drive as stock.

On my HPDE car i have an act street disc, with heavy duty pressure plate. I love it, stiffer pressure plate, but it grips awesome. That help 15 psi all last summer, will be NA this summer, but i have it out right now, and after 4 track days and street use, there are zero marks on my fly wheel. I have personaly never experienced this, it looks brand new. from me.
