Hi there

Well, I am kind of disappointed. The clutch in my max is gone again. It's a JWT clutch with metal on one side. I think one of the pressure plate rivets has popped. It won't bite until the clutch is almost completely released. I'm sure it's not a bleeding issue/leak.

Can anyone recommend a clutch that will hold more than 500 lb-ft of torque (preferably over 600 after my new block goes in).? Ugh!

Do you plan to drive this on the street daily? Gonna be hard to find a clutch that will hold that much power and be tolerable to drive much.

DOnt get an exedy! I have one and it is basically a stock replacement and very soft.

Did you buy a Stage 1? What is wrong with the pedal being soft?

I believe it is a stage 1 clutch. The clutch does not feel very durable, or strong. The prings are very weak and with the aggressive way I drive I doubt it will last very long.

Stage 2 and 3 clutches are harder and made to handle higher horsepower and agressive drivers.

Umm I dont really understand your logic here.. are you boosted? A stage 2&3 clutch are puck clutches and will rip apart your tranny.

And with the aggressive way you say you drive your tranny will not last. I have that same clutch from Maxx Tuning and I actually love it.

I think it's in his head. Because the pedal feels softer, it seems like the clutch is weak when in reality pedal feel doesn't have much to do with clutch holding power. I sell SPEC clutches, and their stage 4 holds 450 ft/lbs of torque for the maxima, and the pedal feel is as soft as stock due to the design.

Well I was hoping to maintain some level of driveability. I was happy with the feel of the JWT clutch until it let go. Unsprung clutches are not what I prefer, but I guess I'll have to consider them.

Thanks
