I LOVE my ClutchMasters single disk with aluminum flywheel. Would NEVER go back.

All the best,

Jim

I'm shopping around for one but I'm afraid with my luck I'll be getting one that causes that annoying clutch buzz sound... I'm preferring to go with a stronger one than stock, it'll be my daily driver but probably tracking the car mayb 2-3 times a year... (maybe have a 65 shot used once in a while )

dude........i got the act street clutch in... i just hit the 500 miles mark and during the 500 miles mark, i put 18's *18x9 rear*, hks exhaust, megan test pipe with resonator......i get to a stop light... nobody around... start to go....when i was rolling, i floored it...Hit red line, shifted to 2nd and my TIRES SPUN for a good half a second...redline to 3rd and chirped and the car skipped sideways and hit hard on 4th.

i will stand by my ACT clutch. she feels comfortable.. not too heavy, and grabs on like a kitty on momma's titty!!!!

Then don't get anything made by Competiton Clutches.

My recc:

ACT pressure plate, OEM disc, OEM bearings

toda, comptech, act, or oem flywheel

approx 27 act kits installed with OEM disc-no buzz

2 Competition clutch kits installed-both have worse buzz than the older cars started with.

I can have the CC owners post here to back this up

Just what I was looking for, thanks everyone! (I was afraid the search nazzi's may come over n include a link to the search function) -

Billman I was looking at that combination, when replacing the clutch, does the flywheel always have to be resurfaced?
