I have ordered this clutch wanting a firm clutch that will hold the power that I have. I was wondering if anyone had this clutch on there car and how they like it. Is it all that hard to drive with?

 

I have this clutch. It is not very firm, only a slight pressure increase over stock. If you want a firmer clutch get the XTR6. I will say this though, I'm using the clutch with a 16 lbs light steel flywheel and I LOVE IT! 6-pucks are awesome, and anyone who says they are not "streetable" cannot drive in my opinion. The clutch does engage very firmly and abruptly, but it's not like an "on/off" switch like everyone makes it out to be. There is a SMALL margin for slipping (or more like skipping), and if you keep the revs right, you will launch as smooth as a disc clutch. Make sure you get a resurfaceable flywheel, as I've "heard" these clutches will tear up your flywheel. Kind of makes sense as it grabs hard, and will "skip" as a way of slipping.

 

I should have said I wanted a more positive engagement rather than a firmer clutch. Is it not recommended to stick with my stock flywheel or should I bite the bullet and buy a lighter one and if so which flywheel should I get?

 

You can use the stock flywheel, as long as it still has room to be resurfaced. I'm not sure what you mean by "bite the bullet", are you talking about $$$? In my opinion the stock flywheel is WAY to heavy. I am using the Racing Beat light steel which is 11 lbs lighter than stock. It's really nice. To give you an idea, the stock 3rd gen flywheel is 18 lbs, stock TII is 28! If you want to go lighter (which feel awesome BTW), make sure you get a resurfaceable alluminum one. Alot of them aren't.

 

Yup im talking about $$$ when I say bit the bullet. I think I will get the same flywheel you have, it sounds pretty nice by the way you are talking. I guess I can't skimp now since I already spent a **** load of money on this new engine.

 

Done, I just ordered the lightweight steel flywheel from Racing Beat. Thanks!
