I just installed one of those ebay 6-puck clutch setups in my friends 91 Turbo II, but the clutch feels rather weak, or definitely not stronger than the stock cltuch setup. Anyone else have this problem???

A soft pedal doesn't necessarily mean that it is "weak". It is possible to have a non-stiff pedal and still be capable of holding lots of torque. Is it slipping at all?

I wouldn't be surprised if a no-name eBay clutch wasn't that good, and cou;dn't hold much torque. There's so much fake crap there that isn't worth the trouble, even if it's 1/4 the cost of the real thing.

 

I fully understand what you're saying Black91n/a. The car hasn't been driven yet (with the exception of a 1 mile drive), BUT THE CLUTCH DID NOT APPEAR TO SLIP WHATSOEVER. I wanted to buy a pressure plate from Mazdatrix, but it would have cost about $350. The S/S heavy duty clutch I don't mind though because it costs $150. I'm just wondering about the pressure plate....

 

BTW, it came with a new pressure plate, pilot bearing and throwout bearing

 

This is what I got:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XTD-S...QQcmdZViewItem
The name XTD is on both the clutch disc and pressure plate.
The name of the company that sells it is www.AimcoClutches.com
http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...id=aimcoclutch

 

It's supposed to be that way.
XTD uses a larger fulcrum diameter on the spring disc to give better leverage on a cover with higher clutch clamp pressures.
The result is more clamp, more sensitive feel, and lighter pedal & release bearing pressure.
I love mine.

The only down side is the way the 6 puck copper/ceramic clutch disc eats into the flywheel.
