Hi sup everyone. I drive a 2k 5spd. just wondering wats a good aftermarket clutch? I heard the ACTs are nice but are pricey. I saw the ones in ebay, they are the excedy and eclutchmaster ones, does anyone have these? do these cause any problems or should i just get the OEM ones. and i want to change the tranny oil also how many gallon should i use?

 

bump bump . plz need help.

 

i'd go with exedy heard those were good.

 

clutchmaster isn't good. friend barely had it on and has had many problems

 

Clutchbastards suck, don't buy that clutch. Exedy is just fine, our stock clutches are made by Exedy. I just installed one for a .org member yesterday and it feels super light. I am used to my semi heavy ACT clutch.

 

so the exedys are good. are they better than stock meaning longer lasting and better performance (exedy racing clutch)? hmm .... i guess ill go with exedy. anyone know a place that is cheaper than ebay for the racing one?

 

Ive heard the exedys cant take any hard 1->2 gear shifts to much. They start slipping in some time.

 

Exedy doe not make any FWD VQ clutches that are "performance". If you want performance then go with a Spec, ACT or Clutchnet. Stay away from JWT, they use the same vendor for PPlates as Clutchbastards ( Clutchmasters). I remember around 2 years ago I called up JWT for a clutch on my 01 and was told 300 bux for just a pressure plate, plus another 100 bux for a copper disk. I was like F-dat, and got myself a ACT. I'm on my 2nd ACT right now, anyone whos been in my car will tell ya it rips 3rd gear tire chirps. 1-2 shifts result in what I call a roll on burnout- my car has much larger tires than stock, I dunno what the stock 205-65-15s would do with the power I have now...
