ACT is good

Exedy is good

Racing beat is good

The idea/innovation is correct, but most people find it will slip after very low kms... why? I think it has to do with intalation problems.



You can always get double friction from a Exedy Twin plate race clutch or the HKS OS Giken Twin plate clutch.



They will be worth more then your car... well depends on how mint your car is.

my mechanic put a 91 pressure plate and a 93 clutch when my engine was rebuilt. i dont know how, but he did. it feel great, sticks hard, never slips. on one problem: it's real stiff and takes some work for smooth "auto-feel" shifts. even so, i cant compain, my whole drivetrain has problems

I need a new clutch now too. Where can you find a Clutch Masters besides the stock replacement? I'm trying to find the best prices on each brand before I leap.
