I'm debating whether to put an Clutchmasters FX 100, 200, or 300 series clutch in my tC. Anyone have one of these or anything similar in their car? Is the clutch streetable, or will I blip and lurch out've the driveway...?

 

hahaha ill probly get one in the next 2-3 months.

i feel my clutch slipping. sry i havent done my HW yet so i dunno which one you shoud get nor myself

 

what are you planning on doing with your car? supercharger, turbo, n/a?

 

Go for the burn. You can never have too much clutch

 

^^^ What he said!

 

How about... which one lets you go F/I but still slip a little out of first gear?

 

hope you're kind to your clutch leg i feel pity for it if u choose such a rough clutch and good luck in getting out of first in tra-tra-tra-traffic 2nd gear bah clutch again rinse and repeat

 

I used an ACT stage 3 clutch with heavy duty pressure plate on my old daily driver...engaged close to stock but definitely grabbed alot harder

 

actually stronger the clutch is not a good thing.

strong clutchs are meant to work under hot conditions and wear down quickly because of the compound.

finding the right clutch is the balance between teh choice of

longetivity and grip (same goes for tires)

 

also check out the torque capacity ratings for each series.

I think it's something like:
stage 1: 275 ft/lb for basic bolt ons or up to 50hp shot of nitrous; not for f/i applications

stage 2: 275 ft/lb same as stage 1 but with kevlar disc; longer life expectancy

stage 3: 345 ft/lb medium boost turbo or supercharger, 100hp shot of nitrous, cylinder/head work/cams

personally I'll be going with the 300 series with zpi's stage 1 turbo kit

 

I Never had a problem driving my XB around with my Stage 3 six puck ceramic clutch and lightweight flywheel I'll let you guys know how the new setup feels on my TC next week

 

Exedy is offering their Stage 1 Clutch kits for the tC now - they are another reasonable option for a slight upgrade over stock - will handle more power and torque than a stock unit and last longer, perfect for a street, daily driver with basic bolt on upgrades

 

yeah but now you'll have a car with power

 

hey james@gsc do u know where i can get a exedy clutch and around how much it would be please thankx

 

drop me an email to James@GSCMotorsports.com and i will send over pricing information - we can offer them.

 

My XB had plenty of power with the 50 shot of juice

 

yeah but you don't engage the bottle when you're changing gears and not at WOT
