I'm in the process of purchasing a clutch for my 91 T2 and was wondering if yall experts can help me decide between the BNR stage 1/stage 2, RX-7 Store's Street/strip, and RX7.com's standard street clutch. My mods are DP, HKS intake, FCD, and a Maxspeed Catback. Only upgrades I plan anytime soon are a MP and fuel pump, so I'm not sure what stage clutch I should get.

 

I just ordered the ACT 6 puck from rx7store.net. 305 shipped to my door. I was in the same spot you are for a while and then decided to go with ACT, heard nothin but good things. Pullin the tranny sux, so Im not gonna waste time with a bullshit clutch.

did shipping take long?, will that clutch have smooth/harsh engagement?

 

I have the stage 3 SPEC clutch from BNR and it is great! I would reccomend it to anyone! Very streetable and feels great.

 

How long was the wait?, my clutch is slipping in 3rd and I can't take advantage of the upgrades that I installed.

 

I live right down the street, so there was no wait really. EMail Bryan, tell him youre interested. Im sure hell get back in touch with you by tomorrow. You wont be sorry, great clutch!

 

Does'nt anybody have anymore input on this matter?, I thought I would get some good(more) feedback being that 2 of the companies are sponsored by this website.

 

I usually don't mess with anything less than an ACT.&nbsp ACT is the standard for import high-performance clutches.

I am buying a ACT clutch very shortly. I am just not sure what model .. I will be pushing 350 FWHP (and soon more) but I want somthing very streetable.

 

Hey. The six puck is a little harsh for your mods! If you don't plan on anything else, a stage 1 or a stage 2 will do great. I would hate to see you chatter your teeth out with the ACT, b/c I have one in my 1g. I bought it several years ago, just had it lying around. . ACT has some good stuff, but in my opinion, they are pretty much designed the same and made w/ the same disc material. In my price I include a throwout bearing and alignment tool, which would cost you extra from ACT. I might be wrong about that, but check it out and see what you think.
take care,

I have a ACT stock strip clutch it grips hard but is very streetable i would suggest it for sure my mods are listed below.

alright Fear, I think I'm going to go with BNR's stage 2, do they have different makes for that stage?, or am i just dealing with one choice for stage 2?, I'd like to get this ordered today if possible.

 

All I can say is don't get the RAM Powergrip. I have one and I hate it sure it grips good but is a pain in the ***** to get going and it chatters like a mother. It to is a six puck.

 

I guess from all the feedback, my best option would be to stay away from any pucks if I want to a streetable ride?.

 

My order from rx7store comes with the 6 puck, pressure plate, throwout bearing, clutch alignment tool and I believe the pilot bearing(not positive on that). I highly doubt you can beat the bang for the buck factor on that. $305 to my door.

I had a 6 puck in my GTU, It grabbed hard but not like everyone is making it out to be. Its streetable, do you want to replace your clutch again once you start getting more mods? You know your gonna keep trying for power. Do it right the first time. Thats the way I look at it.

 

What ever you do, don't get a unsprung clutch...........they are to hard to the tranny!

 

Thanx for all the help guys..not planning on any major upgrades till after winter when it's sitting in, so I'd rather get a streetable clutch for now. So no puck=smooth engagement, anyone know the makes on the BNR Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutch's?
