alright guys, i just got some new rubber about 2 months ago, they grip like no other, but... they have caused my clutch to start slipping on the 1st-2nd shift, used to it would just spin on the old tires, but now it's makin the clutch slip really bad. so i'm asking the experts, i want a clutch that will not slip, but won't make my left leg 3846658 times bigger than my right lol, any suggestions?? i'm kinda liking the Spec 3+ or an Exedy, i want a light weight flywheel as well, thanks in advance

????

 

come on guys i need some help here! i noticed on Turbo Techs website the SPEC Clutches have a lightweight option, what is that?

 

Go with the Exedy. I've never heard one bad thing about the Exedy cluthces. I plan on running one on my Evo when the time comes.

 

only thing with Exedy can you get a lightweight flywheel with it?

 

are you positive it's the clutch slipping, and not the tires actually spinning instead of hopping? happened when i changed tires a few times, i kept thinking my clutch went out till i realized the new tires don't hop, they just spin. happened anywhere up to about 70.

 

no it's not the tires spinning, when i shift hard into second the RPM's go up and then all the sudden it goes in gear

 

I had the SPEC Stage 3+ and SPEC flywheel and I was very happy with it. The pedal feel was as easy as stock. I would recommend it. But I hear great things about the Exedy. NOBODY!! had them in stock for months when I wanted one so that why I ended up getting the SPEC. Either way you can't go wrong IMO. The Exedy comes with a lighter flywheel.

 

ok THANK YOU for answering that question about the lighter flywheel, i thought i had heard that it did, but i couldn't find any info to back it up

 

No problem, anything I can do to help! The Exedy's come with a steel flywheel instead of aluminum so i'm pretty sure they are a little heavier than and an aluminum one but lighter than factory.

 

ok that's what threw me off is it said it was steel and i just figured it was prolly same as stock, oh and should i order a new slave cylider and throw out bearing? if so where do i go to find some of them besides the stealership?

 

I'm not positive. I just reused the factory ones. Intense Racing installed my clutch and flywheel. They didn't ask me if I had new ones or suggest that I buy new ones so I would say it doesn't matter.

 

ok i've heard some say you need them others say you don't, now i just gotta get enough money for the clutch and imma go ahead and upgrade the axles, and then find someone to install eveything

 

We have an AWESOME deal on Exedy! PM us, only 1 left at this price!

If you want a SPEC stage 3+ let us know we can hook you up with that also.

 

Sounds like a good plan. Better save up quite a bit. Intense charged $525 plus oil to install. I think it came to $585 or so. So it was like $1700 for clutch, flywheel, and install.

*EDIT* Aaron from TTR gave me a great deal on my Spec clutch. I would recommend from getting either clutch from them

 

ok i know NOTHING about clutches i'm learning as i go here, do you have to put oil in them on the install or are you refering to engine oil, and yea i am planning on gettin the clutch from TTR when i do it

 

I don't know much either but as far as I know its the transmission fluid

 

No you dont need to change the tranny fluid when you do a clutch install. You dont remove any parts that would drain the oil from the tranny. You can, as general Matn. but it is not needed.

 

ok thanks i didn't think you had to change any type of fluids, and TTR it may be awhile but i will be contacting you about purchasing one of the mentioned clutches

 

Didn't think you had to but for some reason Intense did

 

Sounds great...
