Does anyone have any informative reviews of good clutch combo's?
I have a new clutch right now, but I dont have a good tranny so I can't really rate the clutch very well when it barely shifts right now...

I have a centerforce dual friction, pressure plate and disc, and it works great, grabs nice, and the pedal is as light as stock. good clutch, Jimmy |

Ive got a 2.0L Turbo dsm FWD flywheel, with a galant vr4 h/d daikin clutch kit. 5 puck brass button sprung centre. It is a little heavy on the left leg in traffic, but grips extremly well... it is a bit of a pain in traffic though as it shudders alot Part number R320nhdb (Daikin part number) Mike |

I ordered the 2.0 FWD Turbo flywheel, and the 3kgt clutch kit, I'll let everyone know, I'm just worried about the splines. |

I have had good luck with a used 2100# "RPS Turbo" pressure plate / OEM AWD disc combo. It took all my small 16G 309 HP 4G63 could give it. The previous 1400# OEM AWD clutch on a FWD 2.0 flywheel wouldn't hold though. A couple observations I noticed were (1) a significant increase in pressure on the "Turbo" clutch and (2) for complete disengagement the pedal has to be against the floor [it is adjusted properly] i.e. the pedal has to travel further on the Turbo clutch. I don't know if this is normal. This is especially necessary during a high RPM shift. I also had to put a 1/8" washer on the throwout arm pivot bolt to position the arm correctly. |

I am using a 2600ACT pressure plate and a stock AWD disc from a 1st Gen. Combo works very well for daily driving, but I would say go with a 2100 if your not planning on running more then 300HP. 2600 does get tiring after a while. |

Definately agree. I was running a 2600 in my 4g63 on stock flywheel. The stock clutch fork just couldn't handle this heavy of a pressure plate (bent and warped). I switched over to a ACT AWD flywheel and 2100. Much better.2600 does get tiring after a while. If you aren't going to make mega power, don't put a mega clutch in. Scott |

I had a 2.0 fwd aluminum flywheel, with what spec called a stage 3 clutch. I stalled it 3 times the first day backing it out of the garage, I was not use to the light flywheel, plus it grabs really hard. I did like it after getting use to it. Worked fine until I blew the tranny up, took it all apart and half the springs were gone out of the disc. Spec admitted that they had a design flaw with it, and sent me a new updated disc on warranty. The metal that holds the springs in is now about twice as thick as before. |

ACT 2100 with Fidenza FWD flywheel, a little heavier pedal than stock, but holds nice, where the Centerforce D/F slipped after 5000 klicks. |

I have a Clutchmasters Stage 4 four puck ceramic clutch and the stock 1.6 flywheel. Works perfectly. |

I would have to recommend against centerforce very strongly! Read anywhere on tuners and you'll see why. They don't hold sh*t for power, they are good for other cars but not DSMs. I've ran a Southbend Clutch stage 2 clutch, which is their kevlar disc clutch kit, with a Fidanza on my old GS-T. It held whatever I threw at it and I loved the grab it had. On my colt, I'm going to be running a stock clutch with a fidanza flywheel. I'll let you know how it feels. I'll be around 200whp to start. |

I'm interested in the ACT pressure plates. Does anyone know how much power the 2100 can hold? Thanks. |
