the OFFICIAL aftermarket clutch thread
#103
I was looking into clutch masters stage 4, 6 puck. I've never driven anything with a 6 puck and want to know if you guys are getting any chatter with it and if you would recommend it for a daily driver. I'd prefer not to spend an extra 250 bucks on the southbend.

***my experience*** I had a 6 puck clutch in my car and it chattered all the time. I wanna say it was a clutchmasters(chatter masters) clutch. Engagement was shitty but now I have southbend stage 4+ with fidenza aluminum flywheel and it's very smooth and very drivable. Haven't hit boost on it yet because I just now broke it in. Rev matching is much easier and less jerky (can't even feel it a lot of times)
Spend the extra money for a southbend, you won't regret it.

I have the same setup. Drivability is great even with the aluminum flywheel.

CAR- LNF
CLUTCH- GMPP
FLYWHEEL- Luk stock replacement
MILES ON CLUTCH- 15
DRIVING IMPRESSION- pedal is softer than South Bend, engagement is too smooth. I don't feel like I'm driving a performance vehicle. Hoping it will snap a little once broken in.
RECOMMENDATION- At the moment, no. But I prefer firmer clutch pedals and and quick engagement. If you like a stock feel, this is it. It's a Saab 9-5 clutch, so it can handle some power. Saab liked to over-build their vehicles.

So I'm posting here instead of starting a new post I see all the post here are pretty old but hopefully someone can give me some ideas.
so I'm building a kit car and the car total weight with drivetrain is around 1500lbs I have an lnf with a mu3 trans my question what do you guys recommend for a clutch and flywheel should I go lightweight, what stage ,brand etc right now I'm at stock power but looking to maybe crank it up to 300 to 400 any opinions would be appreciated

It does, but if you get a flywheel with small dowels(99% sure you'd get one), you'll have to play with it to center it. Easiest method is a white Bic pen cut into pieces.
I currently have one, with shy of 20k miles, of which ~5-6k have been with a Z54 turbo. Still holds great, can't beat it for the price.

And the Z54 spools slower than a ZFR, so even without a boost ramp it comes in so smoothly that so far(I just cursed myself )it holds nicely. I'm not too worried though, guys with heavier torque hits are still rocking the GMPP and it's still holding.

Are you guys referring to ced part # 19212712
If that's the one is there a reason why it said not to use it on lfn engines because they recommend part # 24239996k
and are you guys just using stock flywheel or can I go with a fidanza aluminium flywheel or is that not recommended

So I'm installing a gmpp clutch kit and a luk LFW285 flywheel my question is instead of paying $50 for oem flywheel bolts has anyone used the arp 209-2801 bolts with no if yes do you still torque them down to the same specs as oem
