I thought we could start a list of all the different clutches we are running on our beloved MX-3's! Help for those who are looking to replace their clutch.

1. Name/type of clutch you're running?
2. Where did you get it?
3. How much?
4. How much city/highway usage?
5. Stock tranny or swapped in?
6. How long have you had it?
7. What flywheel are you running with it?
8. How do you like it?

1 spec stage 2 for a probe GT
2 fasttoyz.net
3 550 or somethin?
4 lots of city and hwy usage. plus a lot of high rpm shifts
5 mx3 gs stock tranny
6 since the beginning of summer 2009
7 oem mx3
8 love it.

side note - ss braided clutch line as well.



over all i like this clutch alot. it grabs good and hard however the feel for the clutch isnt as "poppy" as i wanted. i feel like im driving a really amazing oem clutch and not some crazy performance clutch.

1. Exedy organic
2. It came with the car, so I don't know
3. ^^
4. About 40%HWY
5. SG stock Tranny
6. I bought the car about 2 years ago, and the clutch was put in about 8,000 miles before I bought it
7. Stock GS Flywheel
8. It grabbed great for a long time, and my engine was built for torque, but the first time I drag raced it, it started slipping. I increased the horsepower by about 15-20 at the crank, and now it slips with anything more than normal spirited driving. It holds up to coming from a standstill at a sidestreet, and speeding up to 55 in about 7 seconds to fit into traffic, shifting at about 4500.

1. Spec stage 3 clutch
2. Online at some site, oficial vendor.. I forgot
3. Around 320 -350
4. I average around 1500 miles a month, both hwy an city.
5. Stock tranny
6. Around 8 months
7. Fidanza
8. It is awesome considering I am boosted at 5 trough 7lbs(when I get bored)



If you have an n/a car, you wont have any clutch problems... you can get away with the ebay "stage 3" f1 cluches.


If you are boosted... that wont hold much and will easily slip(as in my case)



cheers

Recently swapped the ACT for a CM b/c I thought it was dead when the car wouldn't shift. Was wrong and it was the trans (yet to be taken apart for full diagnosis). Changed companies b/c I wanted something smoother as I race less these days. CM is fine so far, but still pretty new and so I have not been hard on it yet.

Love it pulls hard when needed. It doesn't pull like my old act stage 3 but it is is friendly in rush hour unlike the act, oh ya and I just had to pull the engine the clutch still looked new after 5k miles so it was a good deal in my opinion. I have been hard on it too.
