I'm thinking of being proactive and getting a clutch for when my stock clutch fails. I wanna order it today or tomorrow

I am looking for a very stock feel, no shutter/stutter and a clutch where I can slip for easing forward.

I have the parts in my sig and I'm planning on a lower charge pipe and intercooler. Then I'd say I'm pretty much done with my cars performance.

This is what Modern Performance says for the Stage 3 which seems to fit me well.

Here's what Modern Performance says about stage 4 clutch master

This concerns me for the stage 4 clutch. I feel like it may be too much.


Then this is what ZZP says about everyone
Ugh, so what do think?

 

someone on here has a stage 2 clutchmaster, i forget who (armygreywolf?) but they said it held 400tq just fine and it feels very similar to stock. ill have to wait for them to chime in.

 

I am getting done a turbo upgrade kit which will give me about 440-450 whp, and i got the clutchmaster stage 4. Should pick up my car in about a week or 10 days

 

I will be going with the 3+ when I do mine for the added torque handling.

 

Oh wow. So the stage 3 might be too much. Well that's $100 in savings so that's nice.

Edit*** I just realized that modern performance only has stage 1 3 & 4 clutches. Damns I thought the stage 2 was $100 cheaper.

So what does the stage one hold? Is that too weak for me?

 

Stage 1 is pretty much stock. Why not the 3+ ?

Spec Stage 3+ Clutch Chevy Cobalt SS Turbo 2.0L - Turbo Tech Racing, LLC

 

Spec clutches always seem to have clutch chatter. I went with a Clutchmasters Stage 4. Im currently doing a 20g turbo uprade though.

 

If your looking for a "stock feel", anything more than a stage 1 will give you an increased pedal firmness....stage 2-4....same thing

 

What exactly is chatter? Is it just an annoyance or is there an actual problem with it?

 

+1

Also, I just found another post by MPx stating the Stage 3 is for cars with 350-375whp and stage 4 is for cars with more than that.

Well I happen to have 310whp with catted downpipe and I'm happy with those numbers so I probably won't see 350whp anytime soon so I think I answered my own question.

 

I think vahdyx should make 12 more threads before searching for his answer

 

Love my Clutchmasters Stage 4 Six Puck so far

Very Very streetable

Great service from MPx on the Sale also

 

I don't care, I searched and got my answer and wanted to post in this thread rather than the other. I got my answer and now I am wondering about chatter. Instead of asking in a new thread I thought I'd +1 it here instead. This is an old thread and I brought it back from feb 2011.

I make threads, that's what I do. Not to worried about it, but in all honesty, I'm probably gonna stop making threads and reply to most now. I think I'm done with my Cobalt.

 

I know you said clutchmasters and ect. But if you want to save money, ky clutch will make a clutch for your specs...... Just saying bro..!!!!!....And it comes with a year warranty

 

what'd you end up going with? No worries vahydx, a lot of questions are answered 1000000000 times on forums. In fact if they werent, after like 2 years there wouldnt be any new posts besides BS'in haha.

ccss3, you and your million threads about KY clutch has pretty much convinced me to give them a shot

 

Im having my CM stage 3 put in this weekend ill let you know how it is

 

If not going past 400tq I would get the CM stage 2. Shouldnt slip and the engagement wont be harsh. Too aggressive (overkill) of a clutch can spell trouble for the trans or axels.

On a side note for the people that have the CM clutches. I heard that they give you some kind of a spacer/shim for the TOB to remedy the low engagement. True?

 

with the lnf, plenty of people have 400tq+. Remember for clutches you must use your ~ crank HP, not your wheel. For instance I put down 360wtrq with very little done. So i would say im at or around 400. Wouldnt want to step into a stage 2 and be maxing it out, whats the point?

 

to be technically correct. All clutches use the same ****. Most clutch kits like clutchmasters and ect use say sach pressure plates and oek pressure plates and friction discs in there kits. Ky clutch uses the best but they actually make there own friction disc. Thryve been tested and they have a great warranty. Price wise i would think this is the best option for most.
