new clutch suggestions?

Post by mikeinaus »

im planning on doing an engine swap on my 92 gs and solo_ ryder suggest that i replace my clutch at the same time. ive been looking on ebay and there is a few different ones but i have no clue what i should get. what is the difference between the "stages"? im planning on trying to find a klde 2.5l to throw in it if that makes a difference.

there are these f1 racing stage 1 clutch sets for $90usd http://cgi.ebay.ca/F1-RACING-STAGE-1-CL ... 2541wt_732" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

or there is stage 2's for $120usd http://cgi.ebay.ca/F1-RACING-STAGE-2-CL ... 2589wt_732" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and there is stage 3's for http://cgi.ebay.ca/F1-RACING-STAGE-3-CL ... 2573wt_732" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

then there is these xtd stage 3 ceramics for $129 http://cgi.ebay.ca/XTD-STAGE-3-CERAMIC- ... 4272wt_958" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

xtd stage 3 miba for $129 http://cgi.ebay.ca/XTD-STAGE-3-MIBA-CLU ... 4272wt_958" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and finally xtd stage 3 racing clutch for $129 aswell http://cgi.ebay.ca/XTD-STAGE-3-RACING-C ... 4272wt_958" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and this exedy one for $109
http://cgi.ebay.ca/EXEDY-NEW-CLUTCH-KIT ... 2534wt_732" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

just wondering what the difference between these are and what i should buy? ive done a bit of browsing and from what i can tell is that people are saying the xtds are crap... any word on the exedy or f1s?

Ebay stage 3 clutches tend to act like stage 3 for a few months then they go back to stock feeling. For a n/a ze thats more than enough. if you are boosting, get name brand .

I think the best cheap clutch is the Exedy. I've had one in my 1.6 RS and 2.5 DE GS and they've held, no problems.
