whats goin on people,
Last nite my clutch started to go...its slipping like crazy so time to replace it. As of now the only mods i have are a custom CAI and the greddy exhaust. Im really not planning on spending anymore money on improving performance. The only way i would, would be if the engine went, and then i most likely would do the 3sgte swap. My question is should i just get a stock oem clutch kit or do you guys think i should go for somehting a bit more like a cm stage 1 or something. i really dont race at all and am looking more for good gas mileage and smooth performance. However i was thinking if im goin to replace the clutch i should look into a new lighter flywheel and see what my options are in that area. How much do they usually run and do you guys suggest gettin one? Thanks for all your help! |

The answer depends on your plans. If you do not add significant horsepower, the answer is stock. If you do add significant horsepower, the answer is dependent on how much power; the feel you want; your preferences between streetability and performance; longevity issues, as well as chattering tolerance. I am not 100% sure about this but I dont think you will be able to use the clutch for your ST on a 3sgte swap anyway so, the answer for you is probably "get a stock clutch" given what you have said.

Yeah as long as its made for the 7afe tranny. Stage 1 is just the rated clamping force.
If ur doing a 3sgte swap, i'd recommend a stage 2, however you cant use the 7afe tranny with that engine, so i'd just get a stock clutch. -------------------- |
