Thinking of buying a clutch but stuck between the two. If i buy an ACT i would get the HC5-XTSS and whatever is comparable to it that Exedy makes. What would you guys prefer...

 

I dunn voterd ACT!

 

Exedy race disk... Works good and can get them cheap on ebaymotors. Check out clutchcityonline, he sells them on ebay.

 

ACT

 

I'm running an XT-SS in my car right now. Almost seems like alittle too much clutch for my setup.

 

ACT

Same here, so I voted for ACT. I love my HDSS. Very streetable clutch that holds the power just fine. I've heard the XTSS is comparable but a little stiffer w/ obviously more torque-holding power.

 

Im running ACT and it still chirps third gear after 5 months of driving with it !!!!!!

 

i have an ACT... its aiight

 

I recommend ACT HDSS over XTSS unless you need the extra holding power.

Good post.

 

my clutch masters stage 3 stopped chirping third
i had it less than a year

 

I would go for clutchnet if I were you

 

ACT one of the best part I ever got for my car

 

i vote for act. I saw the exedy race clutches on ebay, but it seems it only holds roughly 270flywheel power. the ACT HD can hold that much easy. It depends on hp goals, if you are intending on making around 250whp+ you must go with act over thee exedy. the exedy wasn't designed for forced induction applications it hink. price is good though.

 

i'm interested in a ACT clutch, where can i get one for a good price??? please let me know... my clutch is gone... TIA

 

been running the ACT HDSS for 6 months now, grabs VERY nicely....overall its good stuff, the ONLY thing i dont like is the 'sqeaking' noise it has had lately when i engage 1st some times, which act says is normal to my understanding.

 

Both clutches are great. it shouldnt be a question of which is better, but which is better for you. The exedy organic is great for bolt ons, and close to stock performance. The ACT has a whole lineup to suite any needs, but for a car with just bolt ons, the exedy is definatly a great choice, and costs much less. The ACT HDSS is probally the most popular clutch we sell. Its for guys who want to stay streetable, but at the same time, have something they can goto the track with. The Exedy cerametalic is also very good, but to harsh for some. Same as the 6 puck ACT. That should be more for someone who beats teh crap out of their car, or needs alot of holding power. I would make your decision on whats best for you, not whats best for others. If you need more help, or details of each one, email me at sales@nolimitmotorsport.com Gluck!

 

where's the sqeeking noise coming from? Did you lube up the fork/throwout bearing contact points?

no limit.... hahaha

Give Foreign Autotech a try, I've spent over 4 grand with them....they're authorized ACT Distributors (650) 589-3100

My XT-SS just started doing the same exact thing last week.

 

welcome to 6 puck, im on my 2nd and u learn to love that squek, and the clutch chatter at idle. But then again, being able to chip 4th at 100+ mph, thats always fun.

 

exedy makes a much wider range of clutch s to choose from..from many OEM fits to full race..but i pick ACT cuz the specialize primary higher performing clutch s

 

sounds like ACT is the popular choice.

 

Depends on your mods...I have an exedy paired with an ITR fly wheel and love it!!
