Alright, I found out that there was a clutch spring in between the disk and the pressure plate, so I'm looking for a new clutch assesmbly. Ive had it recommended to me to get an ACT HDSS clutch, but are there any other clutches that are good for light (75 shot) nitrous use on a b18c1? Thanks.

 

SPEC 3 puck unsprung stage 4 clutch Aggessive but streetable also no heavy pedal feel

 

i have an act and clutch master flywheel!!! i do not recommend the act but i do recommend the clutchmaster stage 3!!!! wit the aluminum flywheel!!!

 

Why not act?

 

yes, please explain why the ACT clutch sucks. i have the ACT HDSS and i've had no problems with it.

 

Same here, ACT HDSS w/Toda

 

i have an XTSS with fidanza flywheel.... ****** rules...

 

Oh, another question. Is it necessary to break in the clutch?

 

God ya! unless you like a shinny frizbie

 

So, what's the proper break-in procedure? drive nice and carefully for a couple hundred miles?

 

I'd go for 500-1k city driving, dont let the clutch heat up for too long

 

What do you mean by heat up for too long? Like 7k rpm clutch feathering, err smoking?

 

Like you shift at 3-4k, DO NOT go above this unless you wanna take an expensive risk.

 

Alright. Thanks for the help ^_^

 

anytime

 

ACT XTSS and TODA flywheel here. Just fine so far...

how do you guys like the act clutches compared to the exedy clutches?

 

Just so you know, ACT claims no break-in period for their clutches.

I would anyway, thats just their claim.

 

ACT besides the normal chatter you get.. the clutch grabs pretty damn good. your choice is good for your setup.

Do ACT clutches require a break in period?

For organic street discs “00 and SS” we recommend breaking in the clutch for 200-300 miles with mild engagement such as stop and go city driving prior to racing or spirited driving. ACT race discs usually only require a few hard slips to lap in the surfaces prior to normal driving or racing. Do not overheat the clutch during the break in period.
