I was wondering what type of clutch/flywheel options everyone has on their celica and what their opinions are.
I'm in the market looking for a new clutch since mine is slipping right now and needs new replacement. I'm thinking about getting a Clutchmaster's Stage 1 with a Fidanza flywheel combo after reading some reviews but wanted to hear more feedback from the 6gc community, thanks. My celica information 1995 Toyota Celica 3L2 5 speed, 2.2L, stock |

I personally like the stock clutch and flywheel, though I wouldn't mind getting a lightweight flywheel

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you loose torque but gain HP with a lightened flywheel.

I'm not sure when the previous owner did it or not. I was looking for something a little different in terms of aftermarket since I've been reading the clutch life lasts longer than the OEM clutch/flywheel. The stock clutch is almost the same price as an aftermarket clutch as well as the flywheel. I'm thinking about going aftermarket now.

I have a Spec Stage 2 Clutch with a resurfaced Stock flywheel I have researched and found reviews stating there is a gain for improved torque and hp for a lightened flywheel. How do you like your Spec Stage 2 Clutch? How long have you had it for and have you had any issues yet? |

ACT set up is good
Exedy Set up SPEC is ok too Comp Clutch Stage 1 - Puck n Sprung < This is what I have, on an S54 tranny, ST185 3sgte Lightened flywheel, ARP bolts, and ST205 Clutch Disc/Pressure Plate for S54 spline. < Hybrid, bigger diameter setup. Good if you want more oomphhhh, but a stock setup is nice too. I actually want it now. This post has been edited by trdproven: Sep 18, 2012 - 6:06 PM -------------------- 94 Celica GT

I have a Spec Stage 2 Clutch with a resurfaced Stock flywheel neither of these is true. you gain acceleration from the loss of inertial weight. so it feels like you gain power. I highly suggest a Southbend Clutch TZ and fidanza flywheel. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

I've been doing research to add to my projects list, are there any other alternatives to a fidanza fly-wheel? Also how light is too light for a similar stock GT?
