ScionGT35R

I will post this as information in case someone else has the same problem. I been having problems with my clutch as everyone knows and a DD seems to be my only option. But some friends told me about their expiriences with these DD. Things like the loud annoying noises and other problems that they had expirienced and what I should expect was all I heard. This make me think twice on those DD so I wrote and e-mail to ACT to see how they can help me and this was their answer.

What you guys think???

I have clutchmasters stage 4 (6 puck) as well as fidanza lightweight flywheel. there are hissing sort of noises when you let go of the throttle while still having in gear... which is completely normal.

as for the daily driveability, you are gonna stall the car first couple of times- its normal, everyone has to go through it. but you get used to it.

im not sure what those parts numbers are but i think a twin clutch would be best for DD.. stage 5 wont be very comfortable DD

Ok the last four letters on the first column are the pressure plate and the disc. In this case it's a xtreme pressure plate with a 4 puck race disc. ACT says that this kit could hold 645 ft lb to the flywheel which I think it's enough for my application. The last two series of #s are just the parts #s for the pressure plate and the disc. they also have an Maxx Xtreme pressure plate but isn't a good idea for daily driving.



Xtreme - XT

- Clamps load increase of 50% to 120%
- Pedal feels moderate to stiff
- Many SFI Certified to insure safety
- Recommended disc: Street or Race



Solid Hub (4 Pad) - R4

- Recommended for Drag and Road Racing
- Increased torque capacity
- Fastest shifts, low inertia
- Good durability but shortened spline life
- Harsh engagement, chatter


Exactly what I got the first time and died after 6 months.

i think you must combine both GT35R .
with that i mean the whole clutch kit.
Heavy Duty Pressure Plate + 4 Puck or 6 Puck Clutch.
see the one with springs in it.
i have a ACT 6 Puck in my mazda i was running it daily and mine was without Springs!

i don't know if you've ever driven a solid hub clutch before but it is hell. and the only twin disc i have ever heard make noise was an exedy. i've been in about 4 evo's with twin disc clutches and they make noise thats appropriate to the HP they put down. i'll have the CC twin disc in aprox a month if you haven't picked then i'll give you some feedback

coryjames

the twin disk is very nice it will hold my only complaint is the 2nd pressure plate has a tendancy to rattle around sounding like a midget is under your car with a hammer

ScionGT35R

I have a 4 puck solid installed on my car at this moment and isn't that bad. Actually I have no complaints besides that it doesn't hold the power. I know by fact that twin disc make a lot of noise no matter which brand. I will appreciate the feedback.

A buddy of mine (not a Scion) is running a 4-puck CM unsprung and he says it's fine for DD.

I'm using a 6-puck sprung Stage 4 Competition Clutch and I love it.. however I don't have your hp/tq so I can't vouch for it at your levels.

coryjames

go twin disk just do it

ACT FTW, I am pretty sure that will be the one I will use for my beast!
