Hi all , i currently have a ACT x-treme pressure plate with a 6-puck unsprung disc. This setup is hardcore and i bought the car like that. I have problems engaging 1st gear at times and problems shifting into 3rd if i am pushing it....

Anyone could recommend me a more streetable clutch setup? cause im looking forward to swap out this existing setup before i break something.

I am more into auto-x the car so i need something more than just an on/off clutch ....

Pls share your experience here. thanks

I have a centerforce stage 2 dual friction.... I have about 250 rwhp and it works great! No slip whatsoever! And its VERY streetable

FC_mania

nice to know , where did you buy it from and whats the part number?... no slip even with hard shifting and clutch dumping?

why don't you just downgrade to the ACT HD, and organic street disc with sprung hub?
that would hold enough.. and is a pretty setreetable clutch. I am running that disc but with the XT pressure plate. so far no problems and it holds the power VERY WELL

FC_mania

ok jreynish thanks.... where did you buy your parts from ? which website and parts number? so i can compare , down on budget now... sigh

so jreynish u using a x-treme plate and the organic sprung clutch?

nice... how much power u pushing and does it slip a lot ? or just ok for streetability?

FC_mania

D350: how come one the website , its stated as centerforce II or dual friction(which one?).... which part number u have?.......i need to find one that best fit my budget.....

West TX RX-7

ACT Street/Strip is what you want. Easy to drive and will hold 300 easy. I think the rx7store even has a light flywheel/clutch combo. Thats where I got mine.

FC_mania

im currently looking at the Centerforce II , cause i only have $300 to spend..... anymore than that will blow my budget away....

Yes I am using the XT PP and the Organic sprung clutch, and it hasn't sliped yet.

FC_mania

well , im not worried about gripping force but a compromise of good clutch engagement and disengagement .....
streetability wise so its nice and fun to drive around not just hardcore gripping force

DC350

I'm not sure the part number anymore man...

But its capable of like 300% of stock i think

well mine is about twice as stiff as stock but doesn't shutter or anything like unsprung hubs... it works very well... I like it and is very drivable.

i drove a Evo with a ATS twin plate and have to say twin plates have super nice feel and grab so nice

I myself have a HKS twin plate that is sitting in a box waiting to be installed

I don't wish the suck of a unsprung hub on anyone.. i hated driving a car with that setup.

FC_mania

maybe its my 6 puck unsprung disc then..... still goin to change it....

FC_mania

anyone every used this "Mazda RX-7 pilot bearing puller" , i mean im goin to send it to a normal auto shop to get the clutch replaced with the street/strip clutch. so if they dont have this tool will they be able to change it for me properly?

jreynish

iTrader: (2)

yes
They have universal pullers,
If not they will just grind it out and put the new one in.

i have a 6 puck sprung clutch from horse power freaks
pretty smooth and it really grips when it needs to
my car ... got around 300hp @12psi i assume

FC_mania

no one have SPEC clutch?

You have about twice the clutch you need. It's not the solid center that makes it harsh, it's the friction material. Swap out the disc and it will hold up fine. It's probably still more than you need.

not to thread hijack or anything but would you use the same clutch for a 300rwhp car as you would for a 350rwhp car?
