Hey guys,

My clutch has gone on me so need to replace it.
I have started gathering parts for a 5sfte build so going to be doing that soon.
What stage clutch will i need to get to handle around 250whp? or will a stock clutch be able to do that?
What are the clutches that most people use in their 5sfte's?

Thanks,

Reece

this is just mho but I don't suggest Southbend clutches. with my 3S I blew two within a year (1 lasted less than 7 months and the other lasted less than 2 months) and I had a third on the way out before I switched to an ACT kit. all the kits were installed by a certified mechanic, who had no clue why they were snapping so fast. the mechanic said if it was launching or abuse he would be able to tell just by the look of the flywheel.

Southbend didn't want to work anything out with me and would evade emails and calls.

Smaay is a good guy and probably has had good luck with South bend. but for a company to tell me "you must have had bad luck" and not be willing to help out, I don't want anything to do with them. they are over priced for the quality you receive.

again just my humble opinion,
