Hey guys,
what would you recommend?

ACT HD street clutch...

or

Exedy stage 1 clutch...

Cheers

 

I'll say Exedy Stage 1. Never had one installed, but by reading some comments about it, it sounds like a good product.

 

Stock car? If so, stock clutch. No need for anything different.

 

I had problems with the Exedy. Running an ACT now, no problems. My problem with the Exedy was that the friction plate was warped and wearing at different rates across the surface, and the material was starting to fall apart. I wasn't tracking the car or anything...just a daily driver w/9k beeps once a day.

 

Stock is Exedy, my first was replaced at 96k and was working fine but I decided to put a new on in since I was getting a new engine. The factory Exedy clutch is very good and not a common failure point. Premature failure is typically do to the owner not knowing how to drive stick properly.

 

Exedy

the act is a lot heavier in clutch feel.

 

With the Exedy do I need to buy anything else? I plan to just machine the stock flywheel when i put the new clutch on.
Some ebay listings say this:

Note: Must use adapter/ counterweight balance N3Z2-11-52X (Not Included)

Is this something i should worry about?

Cheers, Daniel

 

YEP... That's right, and that's completely true! My clutch and pressure plate could have lasted another 150,000 miles when my release bearing broke and had it replaced. Didn't know that I could have just bought that piece separately, nevertheless, it was all replaced at 135,000 miles.
