I know this topic has been brought up numerous times but I just can't seem to find it in the stickies. Im trying to figure out what clutch I need to buy for my 3sgte swap that I've done. I'm running a 3rd Gen 3sgte with an s54 tyranny. I want to buy a brand new clutch kit. Please help me.

Southbend makes a hybrid clutch for your needs. call Andy in the imports. tell him i sent you. you will love their clutch. www.dxdracingclutches.com i highly suggest getting a fidanza flywheel

If you're using an S54 and have a 3S flywheel, you can use a 3S-GTE kit and bring the disc to have the hub swapped from your old disc.
Otherwise buy one pre-built like that like Smaay says. There's a couple companies that do it. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

I heard a lot of fidanzas exploding, is it true or is it just probably intalling it wrong?

Fidanza makes flywheels... don't think they make clutches EDIT: for the 5S/3S

Competition Clutch + Competition Clutch Flywheel. Clutch will be hybrid, and ST185 or ST205 Lightened flywheel.

I use the exedy 3 puck... but I created a thread a long time ago using centerforces website on how to create your own hybrid clutch. So you can use any brand.
Companies like to charge extra for hybrid clutches, when really all they are doing is combining parts. If you use a company like ACT where you buy the pressure plate and clutch disc seperately, it's easy to get the clutch you're looking for. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

no you are not getting it. you are installing a 3S-GTE engine so you NEED a 3S-GTE flywheel.
since you are using a 3S-GTE flywheel you NEED a 3S-GTE pressure plate. you are using an S54 transmission so you need a 3S-GTE disk with a center hub for the S54. like i said earlier, Southbend makes this setup. Call Andy and tell him i sent you. he will take care of you. you will be VERY happy with this combination -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

Im looking into doing the same thing. Now if i call andy i have no idea what your actual name is for who sent me lol. Ill prob call them tomorrow though, because I will be using the s54 trans. Now with the hybrid clutch nothing on my end needs to be done really, just install it correct?
Also the axles I will be using is it just the GT axles? thanks -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop  - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls. P2 approved! |

^^ Correct. Just install the clutch, same as any other. You would only need to use different axles if you use a different transmission, so GT axles will work.

Yes i bought it a little while ago, he seemed pretty knowledgeable about the swap, and knew exactly what I wanted.
