Which aftermarket clutch is the best for no lift shifting? and that will hold 400 plus lbs of torque because Ive heard some clutches do not work well at all with NLS

 

KY Clutch... Works awesome, and has a even better price! Check them out on our site.

 

which flywheel would work best with that clutch?

 

The stock flywheel, or a resurfaced stock flywheel.

 

Is it a must that you resurface the flywheel when installing a new clutch?

 

Absolutely. You can also buy a new flywheel from ZZP for $120 plus shipping and just replace yours with the new one to save you the downtime of getting the other wheel surfaced.

 

As long as you get a clutch than can hold more torque than your car makes you'll be fine. It's your transmission that you need to worry about. I wouldn't be NLSing without a built transmission with that kind of power

 

That's true. If the clutch holds, the tranny is next in line for the abuse. It like tires: if you have tires that don't get good traction, your clutch lasts forever. As soon as you buy slicks, the clutch goes out.

 

i think that is what the op is getting at....best clutch for nls......meaning what will work and not break the tranny.

answer.......nls at your own risk regardless of the clutch

 

nls=broke tranny

 

i dont recommend this for any aftermarket clutch unless its light duty... more times then non the clutch compound is too aggresive for the flywheel... ask me how i know... not to mention from what i noticed his power goal he pretty much needs the ky stage 4 if he goes with ky... its a 4 puck which isnt the most dd suitable.. just my 2 cents.

 

You don't recommend which? Stock or resurfaced?

 

good thing i saw this thread i was about to post something along these lines
Im thinking about getting a Stage 2 clutch from Clutch Masters and a Spec flywheel, is this a good set up?

 

i dont recommend a stock flywheel at all.. resurfaced or not if your using a fairly heavy duty clutch like the spec stage 3+ or something of that nature.

my usual rule of though is if a clutch company makes a flywheel for the car theres usually a reason. ive found the spec stage 3+ clutches arent friendly with the stock flywheels but are great with the spec flywheel.

 

I've got a Spec 3+ I'm selling. Still in the package. Price negotiable within reason.

Exactly, I don't know where this talk about certain clutches not liking NLS came from. Here's the quick answer, NONE of them do and your transmission especially doesn't. If you drive your car hard, expect it to break, plain and simple. Take care of it and don't drive it like a rental and it will last you many years.

 

so spec is the way to go?

 

A few of us have NLS's our cars with bad luck. I had a brand new exedy in. Put 1500 stop and go miles on it and began to get on it. Did a few track pulls a few nls shifts and it destroyed the clutch along with the trans.


4k in Miles on New Exedy:

 

No way! 6 Pucks bite too hard for nls. The only clutch I would even attempt to nls with is the zzp. Its a 8 Puck and the initial bite isn't as harsh. Honestly once u get to the 400+ tq area and have a stronger clutch I would use nls very sparingly unless the tranny has work.

 

That looks like nicks garage

 

Yes Sir

 

I have the complete Spec Stage 3 and I love it

Weeeeeeeeeuuuu

 

I could tell by the hammer with the missing red plastic near the head. No two hammers that have been used are alike.

 

You guys are arguing about what clutch is best for nls.. when you should be asking which driver is best honestly. Because its all on time.. the stock clutch isn't meant to be nlsed on a higher Tq rated car. It'll do it but not for long. Anything rated under your power won't hold for long so your just asking to get your clutch replaced again..... Lightweight flywheels are pointless on a dd car ecspecially since the rev issue.. so a stock one unsurfaced is best but if you can not afford it then get it resurfaced. Do you have to? No, but there are the possibilitys of heat and cracking. So which clutch is best to hold a nls and the power output. A 6 puck that's worth it and the money.. I have worked with a southbend 8 puck.. and it did not last long to a lnf with just a tune and a few mods.. and I also did a lsj full bolt ons and a southbend 8puck kevlar and it wasn't holding his power. Point of me telling you this is order a clutch rated to your power.
Ky clutch has the best materials and have tested out all pressure plates and friction discs to make sure clamping force is where it is supposed to be on every single clutch they sale. And better yet, you don't need a adjustable clutch rod for engagement depending on clutch you order.

 

I wouldnt NLS if you get an aftermarket clutch. Not worth the risk. I just bought a KY clutch. With a new flywheel from ZZP. Its a great upgrade from all of the clutch threads ive seen. I would reccomend it.
