What are you trying to do? NA? Turbo? Did you drop the clutch often? If you are confident that it is strong, stay with it, if not, I'd go with something like a Clutchmasters Stage 2 or 3. If you're going to stay NA, get something full faced. If you're going for Turbo, go with a Clutchmasters Stage 4 (4 puck sprung) as it will drive almost like stock IMO.

 

thanks for the help, but what about replacing the disc etc?

 

what do you plan to do eith the car? race, work, commute, drag only?

 

UPGRADE NOW!!!!!!

 

drive it daily and go to the track everynow and then. its staying n/a

 

expected power output?

 

right now around 175whp, eventually with new cams etc hoping for 200

 

just inspect the pressure plate, and replace the disk.

 

inspect the PP for bent fingers or excessive wear, and just replace the disk if all is well. on your next clutch id recommend replacing the PP

 

ok, thanks guys

 

if i was you...forget waiting to put in the new tranny and flywheel i'd do that **** right now.... hahaha you should get a new Clutch....why use and old one since u already have the tranny off and what if u put the tranny on and a week later u have to change clutches, thats not worth the time...so i'd change it while its out...

 

totally agree unless it looks brand new I would take the time and money to change it out now. Save yourself some time and headaches of having to do the same thing in a month.

 

I have a all motor b16 with 187@ the wheels. Been there done that and got the t-shirt when it comes to clutches.

I would put a duel pressure plate, with a new disc with copper pucks, there should be 6 pucks on the dick if I can remember.
And if you have a strong leg get a plate without springs around the hub...

13x8.5x22 inch mickys leaving the light at 8500 and I still get 4th gear chirping on the street....

Don't spend all kinds of cash, My clutch was $500.00 Cdn Max
Good Luck
