Advice on a clutch
Its about time to get a new clutch and was wondering which one to go with. I am planning on going with act but since this is my first m/t I am a little ignorant on the subject. I autox the car regularly andmy mods include a cobb stage 2 comp flash, a catless 3 inch exhaust, and underdrive pulleys. Someone throw me some ideas.

I've also heard that a lightened flywheel is a nice mod.
ACT clutch and do a lightened flywheel at the same time. I suggest
www.gruppe-s.com for a place to get it from.
I got my ACT clutch and flywheel combo there and it seems to be a very nice piece.
Too bad its only sitting in the back seat of my car and i havent put it in yet so i dont really know how it works, not being able to drive my car sucks.
If you go to the reviews section of i-club you can see what other people have written about different clutches. Thats how i came to my decision to go with an ACT.

I had the ACT in my 03 and a lighter flywheel. The clutch takes more effort to disengage, but you get used to it. You also have alot more feel of what the clutch is doing. I highly reccomend the ACT.

Definately get a full faced clutch. Dont do what I did.... shredded 2nd in the stock tranny. Had a vendor build me a new tranny with RA gears. Very nice by the way until I shredded first gear last wed. I am assuming that the driveline shock was weakening first since I also had an Exedy 3 puck clutch/lightweight flywheel installed. Believe me it was real fun after i got going but from a starting stop, It was a real pain in the ...leg. Now I'm going to rebuild 2 trannys with a new gearset(kaaz-probably) and definately going with a street clutch this time, keeping the lightweight fw though because I live the fast response. Remember, it is always easier to replace a clutch than to replace a tranny. Both in labor and on your pocket.
