ok im going to install a clutch in the next couple of weeks. I have been told not to go with act due to the chatter and also the problems with damaging transmissions. I have searched and cant find some real opinions as far as other clutch options.

so I need some advise as far as other options, I will just have basic bolt ons so just want a stage 1

1) go back with stock
2) jwt
3) centerforce
4) exedy
5) clutchnet

 

i am going to be using a spec stage 2 in my maxima in the coming weeks (will be turbo in near future). spec clutches are great, very very soft pedal pressure like stock and great holding power...

 

never heard of spec clutches? where can I read up about them or purchase?

 

you can go to speclutches.com and read up about them... we sell spec at the shop i work at.

 

bump

 

I have an ACT.. i had chatter.. i changed my motor mounts and the chatter went away.. my transmission is holding up fine

make sure you get hte Japanese one.. the key value nissan stock clutch sucks donkey *****

havn't heard much about this..

buy 3 of them.. because they only last about 10k miles before they start slipping..

i heard its basically an ACT Clutch

the only people i know with them are Matt and Sleeper .. they have no complaints.. but they have 6 puk clutches and that might be a bit harsh for you if its only N/A and street use

 

Kam your back and with a 4th Gen

Welcome back Buddy!!

Did you go back with stock mounts or aftermarket?

 

poly-filled stock mounts

 

where to get poly filled mounts and how much ??????????
Thanks

 

couple of members here can do them.. also i think instructions might be in the FAQ on how to do them..

ericdwong does them.. matty does them.. and sx7r does them.. its just if they will do them for you... i heard it isn't htat hard.. you just get the stock mounts.. mix the poly and hardner.. maybe more.. and then let them cure..

 

I would consider getting a Fidanza Billet aluminum 11.8 lb flywheel while your in there. See me sig for details. I had a chance to drive Mtrai's 4-gen w/ the Fidanza and new clutch. Reved real nice. Drivability was excellent.

 

Its really not, but its a matter of time. Idealy you'll let the poly set ("dry") for about 4 or 5 days. If you can't be without your car for that long, then you'll have to buy different mounts to use and do them ahead of time.

maxdrvr847, if you're not boosted or using nitrous, get a stock (non key value) clutch. They are more than enough for NA power. There are several members who beat on them reguarly (me, Dave B) at the track and they don't slip.

 

you must have me mixed up with someone else

 

i agree with that
my stock clutch has 65k km on it...(not much) but its still going strong and has yet to slip
im probably gonna go with a stock clutch when my current one dies.

 

yeah i was mixing you up with this guy ...Kam .. the name you are using is his name on Clubsi and other boards

 

its ok... its prob a s/n similar to mine since i have had this one for a long time in many different boards...
