What aftermarket clutches are you all using?
Ok well here's the deal i think my clutch is about to hit the shitter on my 06 ss/sc! i can feel the pedal grabbing higher and higher. i was thinking of ordering a clutch so i would have one on hand when it did finally shit the bed. i was thinking the spec stage 3+ but i was hoping i could get some opinions. so tell me your thoughts. thanks! :cssNET:

I have the final version of the CM FX300. The whole fiasco last year was enough to make me go elsewhere next time. It is however working great though!
I would stay away from Spec as I hear they have been just as bad if not worse than CM. |

is this the one you are talking about?

SPEC's havin problems huh?? Damn...Excedy is damn good and have been around for awhile. What do ya'll know/think about the Bully clutches??
|
Exedy is where it is at! I would have one if it was released when I needed a clutch. Next time though. I hear that the Bully clutches are supposed to be pretty good as well.
Boosted SS, that is it. Check out TurboTech, UltraRev, Dezod for the Exedy clutch/flywheel combo. PM them because they have better prices on it, and they might even hook you up with a discount too! |
yea i got some gift certificates on amazon.com so i think i'm gonna go with there but i was think that looked like a nice piece before. it also says it needs some sort of an adapter from mazda if you look at the last line
|
I don't know about over here but in the F-Body land specs are 50-50 loved and hated. Supposedly you can't slip a Spec clutch. I've seen it first hand too on my buddy's Camaro. 5 passes at Atco and the thing was toast.
Check out the Bully line of clutches at TAG. I've heard good things. |
thanks bro!

exedy's site shows a lower stage clutch coming out soon, they designed the racing clutches then came into the market clutches after, it was due to pressure from the cobalt racing division requiring clutches quickly. The stage 2ish clutch with fly should be in the 600$ range, i had one in my car for a month during r&d, it ran well.

good info thanks!
|
i have heard nothing but bad things about spec from everyone that has owned one for a long period of time.
|
i think i'm going to go with the exedy one mentioned above. i better be careful though or else the people from the ebay intake thread might tell me they found a guy who duct taped brake pads to a metal disc and it has the holding power of a NASCAR clutch for 1/23954345th of the price. i'm getting flamed over there big time because i said you get what you pay for when it comes to performance parts cause they wanted to buy an ebay intake and cut up their airbox.
|
Get the exedy you wont regret, the spec is total shit, dont waste your time, from my personal expierince it cost me 1600 to fix what that clutch caused me.
|
yea it looks like an awesome piece! it said on the one site about an adapter that is needed do you know anything about this?
|
If you check dezod, or one of those site, i think it says something about including that piece.
|
do you know what that piece is for? i just can't see what needs and adapter plate unless the flywheel has a different bolt pattern than stock
|
It only says reuse the stock release bearing, so you should be good, i would get it from dezod, its 1,135 there.
