What about noise with the aftermarket clutch? I have an AP1 and the clutch buzz from the stock clutch drives me crazy. I realize the stock clutch buzz is not a performance or wear problem, but I am contemplating updating it. Will an aftermarket, performance-oriented clutch have similar issues?

 

I have a competition clutch.

The pedal feel is great. Just about stock pressure, with a little more spring back. Initial depression of the pedal is just like stock tho.

The clutch grabs hard, and I love it. I went balls out with the clutch and went 4 puck sprung disc with flywheel. I like it, but my threshold for this kinda stuff might by higher than yours.

and yes, clutch buzz is there.


The question you should ask yourself is:

What are my plans for the car (engine wise; n/a, boost etc)
Am I going to track the car (drag, scca, street)

From there you'll be able to decide on what's the best fit for you.

 

Clutchmaster Stage 3...I don't notice any noise. Just an annoyingly small friction point.
