I'm planning on buying the SPEC Stage 1 Clutch kit from HorsePowerFreaks.com.
This is to replace my dieing and very heavy mystery clutch that came with my car (Bought used). I've already changed the clutch fluid and that did little to help the clutch engagement point. Plus is has clutch buzz which is really annoying. So any advice, reviews, or suggestions?

I'm also planning on re-using the stock flywheel if possible any problems with this?

Oh and the kit comes with the pressure plate, disc, bearings, and alignment tool. Is there anything else will I need to buy?

 

Contact them before buying to get a reassurance of a buzz/rattle free clutch. I know that their stage 2 seems to rattle for everyone. I have heard mixed reviews on their other stage 1 and stage 3 clutches.

Tim,

 

Advice =Don't.

 

At least my stage 2 rattles like and buzzes like HELL on decel.

 

Yes I also have the Stage 2 and it buzzes on decel around 3-4k rpms. Though after about 10k miles it really isn't that noticable to me anymore.

If your mostly stock and want it quiet then I say go with a newer OEM setup from HardTopGuy.com

 

Okay thanks for the advice. I would prefer something a little more durable then stock.

Another recommendation I recieved was for the Competition Clutch (stage 1). Any thoughts on it? http://automotivespeed.com/index.php?cPath=23_28_38

 

Get the Competition Stage 2, its perfect for NA with bolt-ons. Stay away from Spec.

 

I only have an intake and exhaust (which I plan to take off) so I would think stage 1 would be enough.

I had SPEC Stage 1 and liked it.

I had a SC and it held the power just fine.
