would this go on a 5sfe celica? sorry if its a noob question

It should fit, just make sure its of 225mm with 6 spuck and 20 teeth or spine. Think you will be fine

thanks. and im aware my celica doesnt have the torque or power to benefit much from the stage 3 clutch. but im doing an auto to manual swap and im wondering if this is fine for my celica. only mods i have are short ram intake, headers, and custom 2.5 piping with a greddy evo 2 muffler

i have a stage 1 street disc and it helps a bunch mostly when it warms up


but it will work as long as the motor in the mr2 was a 5sfe you would have too ask

you know that a stage 3 clutch is very very touchy right?

what do you mean by touchy? isnt it like super stiff?..haha sorry if its a noob question. i dont understand much about the Stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and racing clutch thing. can someone tell me what the difference between those are?

by touchy i mean its stiff as **** and has almost no give at all to it, just stick with a oem clutch, or get a stage one, not that we even need it

i can still get my stage 1 too slip if i completely mess up and its not stiff at all

id say go for it..


it wont be that bad and it will hold up a better to stress than a oem clutch/ IE.driving fast

Kyle is right. You better start working out right now because your clutch pedal is going to be stiff. Yes, the clutch will help get a little more power to the wheels, but there will be a lot of clutch chatter. Takeoffs will not be nearly as smooth as an OEM clutch. Unless you plan on building a monster 5S-FTE, you're better off with a Stage 1 clutch. You sacrifice driveability with a stiffer clutch.

clutches do NOT add power the upgraded materials and pressure plate allow it to hold more power without slippage.
a stage 3 clutch, on a near stock motor is 100% usless IMO.
pedal feel, clutch life, and driveablility all go down the higher stage of clutch you use.

but if you drive it hard isn't it better to have a higher stage clutch than oem?? Evan if stock?

Good call, Manny. I forgot to elaborate. I said it helps get more power to the wheels, but not that it creates more power. It just loses less power. Agreed 100% though, anything over a Stage 1 clutch on a basically stock engine is overkill.

not on a stockish car.
the stock clutch will give you the best feel, and longest life.
unless your turbo'd, anything more than a stage one is totally pointless IMO.
if your not planning on turboing, paying more for an aftermarket clutch is all about being able to say "i have a stage whatever brand clutch in my car". not more performance.

idk its only 60 bucks id take it either way thats a hella nice deal.
