Im going to be doing either rebuilding the transmission or replacing it entirely with another one. Here are some specs for my car right now: 94 GT Manual. So When I do the transmission job i am going to replace the clutch (might as well) So I need to figure out which would be the best one for the application I will be doing. As you already know I am planning on doing a 3sgte swap in the near future, fixing or replacing the tranny is so that way I can drive it around right now (it is drivable just doesnt have 5th gear) I also plan on autocrossing the car once its done and ready to go. So I want to get a decent clutch kit either a stage 1 or stage 2, but I want to know if anyone has any experience with certain types of clutches. thanks in advance.

yeah but the way people try to describe it (atleast those i've met in person) they tell the story as though it feels like trying to press the brake pedal with the engine switched off, as though its a gym workout for your left leg when it really isn't -- otherwise i'd be walking funny, yeah??

the exeedy kit is 20% increase from stock and the clutchmasters fx400 kit is 170% increase in clamping force, with numbers like that you'd expect a _very_ noticable difference but to me its very subtle if at all.

on a side note - i _dont_ have braided clutch lines, so my pedal isnt as stiff as it could be
