Ok, the search doesnt work. And I have poured over and over the FAQs with no luck.
Down to business, which clutch should I get?

For the 96 SE:

1) ACT street disk and Hg plate

2) Centerforce Dual-Friction

3) Exedy Stage 1 Clutch (Full Disc)

4) Jim Wolf Technology Stage 1 High Performance Clutch

My eyes are bleeding and I still cant make an educated, researched decision. I just want something better than OEM, that can handle a potential MEVI bored to fit a Pathfinder TB, along with the JW ECU. My left leg can get used to anything. Help please.

Bear in mind: You're gonna be hard pressed to find opinions from people who have actually used all those clutches...or any 2, even. Most of the replies here will be opinions based on the differences between stock and clutch XXXX.

Having said that, get the ACT

I only know the stocker, and My Unorthodox.

The specs between act and unorthodox were close but I thought the Unorthodox was better because of the ceramic discs. Plus the clutch pedal feels feather light now.

The ACT will make your left leg stronger than your right...by a horrible degree.

Thanks Sryth, I have heard good and bad about ACT. Somehow it is still my first instinct. If my 3rd gear goes, Oh well. I guess I just need the I30 VLSD... =)

Oh this is the best price i have found so far.
Any better?

Oh and Sryth. The B&M STS rocks. Dont get the pace setter. Just my 2 bits, though.

my stock clutch is perfectly fine with all my mods. If your not going to run nitrous or boost just stay with stock

We had a thread about this a while back, and that's why I put SPEC clutches at the top of the list. Not one complaint about them at all. I'd definately look into them.

The STS is sitting in a box, so if I install one it will be the Pacesetter

I haven't read much on here about the SPEC clutches which leads me to believe that they haven't been tried all that much.

The stock clutch is good and all, but I love the feel of the ACT.

Install a stock one. they are the best, unless you have a good amonunt of more power going to the wheels.
