Just curious if there's anybody with input on a good place to have a clutch replacement done?

Probably just going to have a stock clutch done with the flywheel resurfaced and best-case a new street clutch/flywheel upgrade.

Any opinions regarding these combos?

1) ACT street clutch + street flywheel
2) Exedy street clutch + street flywheel

 

I'd recommend the exedy personally.

It's what I run. Very similar to stock as far as clutch feel goes. Grabs noticeably better.

I also run the ACT street flywheel. You're more than welcome to drive my car if we're ever in the same area.

It does ad a bit of noise value to driving... mostly when idling down/engine braking.

I had GST do the work. Very fast and nicely done. I also added an SS clutch line and all new shifter bushings while I was at it.

 

I'm currently using an ACT street setup with stock flywheel and its great. It may seem kinda stiff at first compared to stock of course but you'll get used to it after a week. Just don't buy the stuff from prostreetonline god they were a hassle to get my stuff. I also had the work done by LIC

 

I have ACT street clutch + street flywheel installed by the previous owner
It's so heavy that the ppl who drove my car would comment on it

I would not recommend it if you drive a lot in traffic or hilly roads
unless.....you wanna build up your left thigh lol

 

lol pleaaaase its not that bad

 

your best bet is to try someone's car with your stated set up

 

I went with the stock flywheel resurfaced and the ACT unsprung 6 puck and after 1000 miles it feels very close to stock (had it for over 6,000 miles).

 

i have a exedy stage 3 i love it but you do get a large amount of chatter, but the grab is great and I love it

 

I had the clutch in my wife's 2.5RS done by Paul@DBTuned. Great price and rock solid work.

 

Here's a great link for you from MPJ/Speed Element out in Hayward. Real nice guys and good work too!

I'd give both GST and MPJ my recommendation.
Had the Exedy clutch and ACT FLywheel set up.
Was a little stiffer than stock but you get used to it quickly unless you have no calf muscle....

 

Thanks for the feedback, I used to have an Exedy stage 1 clutch/flywheel setup on my GSR which I really liked. I'm tending to lean towards the Exedy clutch/ACT flywheel setup since alot of feedback seems pretty good on this.

Does anybody know if the Cusco flywheel is any good? I really liked my friend's EG with a B18C setup using an Exedy clutch/Cusco flywheel.

From experience, I was never a fan of the ACT clutches since they tend to be more on/off vs slip. Of course I'm basing this from driving different cars- 2 MR2SW20s, 1 DSM 1G, 1 RX7 FD. However, they weren't that hard to engage, just takes getting used to.

I was just curious about the clutch chatter, is this a common occurance? I don't want to deal with this over the long-run.

 

makes me wonder if my clutch is OEM or aftermarket cuz mine chatters for the first 10 minutes when its cold, despite the temperature outside, unless its 100 degrees.

 

There was a TSB about that a ways back with the chattering and what not four GM/GCs lemme see if I can find some stuff for ya... they basically replaced the clutch and no more chatter (this was only when it was cold outside )


Found the TSB info:
