My clutch has gone bad...I need help

Well, going down the highway today to work. Just like normal,
doing 60 mph. This person wants to get in front of me and go 50 so I decided to pass, still in 5th gear. So I step on the gas, the boost builds up...and I don't go any faster...but my engine shure is.

Anyone recommend a specific clutch? I've been wanting to get a
better-than-stock clutch, but it doesn't look like I'll have the $450
for a kevlar. So, I'm looking for around $250-$300. Maybe a stock
clutch with a better pressureplate?
Thx everyone

Michael

I've got a centerforce dual friction in mine. It's a clever design, it uses a system of little weights so that the centrifugal force increases the pressure plate effect at higher RPM's. dunno what it costs tho, the previous owner put it in

The general concensus on the CFDF is that it is NOT a good clutch for the RX-7. Too many people have had problems. ACT seems to be the way to go for the RX-7 at above stock power levels.
