My stock clutch is kinda bad already, doesn't ever slip when driving normal, but it doesn't have enough grip to break my tires loose(yoko AVS ES100), ever. That's with almost stock power. I'll be putting on a turbo before summer(hopefully) should have 200-230rwhp to start with, running 10psi. I want a clutch that will hold strong up to at least 250rwhp, but the car is also my daily driver, only car I have. I was thiking of getting a 4puck w/springs, and a pressure plate somewhere in the middle of stock and full race. I am doing auto-x this year, and next year will go to at least one track event at Mid-Ohio, so the clutch must be good for racing too. Anyone have a better reccomendation for a clutch?(keep the total for cluch and pressure plate under $300)

I thought you said you didnt want springs

coldy13

Nope, I think I'll need those springs for drivin on the street, I want just a little more slip than an on/off switch.

A turbo II pressure plate with a stock disk

coldy13

Nope, turbo II clutch is 240mm, 12a is 225mm.

I have about 2-3 PMs,and you stated you didnt want a sprung disc and you know its not for daily driving


If your still having a hard time finding what you need per spec wise,why dont you go to some manufactors web site instead of askin here,I recommend you do use a KEVLAR lined disc which would fall into a stage 3 on most brands

A sprung disc doesn't allow slip it mearly cushions the shock when the friction plate "grips" and transfers drive

coldy13

The discs with the sprung center section do not transmit as much shock loading to the drivetrain, so they are much easier on transmissions and rear ends. They also give you an increase in the time between "just about engaged but not moving much yet" and fully engaged (or "oh sh__, I stalled it again).

Straight from MazdaTrix site, the sprung center will make a puck clutch a little more than an on/off switch. It will give it a very small amount of slip, which is all I need for my daily driver. I know how to drive it right, I always rev-match, so how fast the clutch engages doesn't even matter other than starting from a stop.

Sorrow: I know in the pm's I didn't mention anything about wanting one with a sprung center, but I've changed my mind after I searched around different sites about clutches.
