What Clutch Do You Guys Recommend?

[taiphan]

Ok i have spent about 3 hours searching through the forum but can't find what i am looking for..

Could you guys recommend me a good clutch..i had my eyes on an exedy heavy duty but was told by a machanic that they don't last long about 12 months max. he recommended extreme but they are like $300 extra..

What i want is a clutch that last me the longest because it is a bit of a pain replacing them all the time..

what you guys think is a good clutch that last but not to difficult to drive?

thanks in advance..

ps. i got a GTST -II and in melbourne..

If you read what he was saying, you'd see he didn't want to spend $300 more on the xtreme.. so of course he would want a jim berry

Well unfortunately if you're on a budget, your options are a little more limited.

There is an Xtreme full face organic for around $350.. which would do probably do the trick. Best to speak to Xtreme Sales, to ask what you might need and they will put you in touch with a local distributor who can give you a price

He said he wanted something that will last, easy to use etc. Sometimes your better off saving for that extra few weeks. Either way give jim a call.

Thanks guys..

i knew about the Jim Berry but he's in qld.. and i m in vic..

i rather pay abit extra for something that last longer..and still drivable in city traffic.

i am willing to pay up to $1000 (fitted) for the thing .. any particular model you can recommend?

We do have couriers and AusPost these days Seriously, that's how I got my clutch to Jim. Was about $30 through Express Post.

If you're willing to pay up to $1000, I would get the Jim Berry "Stage One". Its about $700, and fitting will probably be another $300.

God damn. Exedy cheaper than exedy? That's news to me. For $1000 you can have an xtreme clutch. They're like $400!!

I have a 9puk cerametalic whatever with 860kg pressure plate. Pulling 200rwkw, goes fine, would buy one again.

This is only my opinion on how to choose a clutch but I think it works really well. Once you've figured out what you want / need in a clutch, then pay a "decent" amount of money and get a "decent" clutch that meets your needs ( even if that means not getting those 24" chrome wheels for another 2 months ). If you buy the CORRECT clutch, you will enjoy driving your car more, the clutch will last longer causing less headaches in the long run and you won't risk causing damage to your car ( killing the pedal box welds, master cylinder or slave cylinder or killing the gearbox itself ).

Honestly answer questions like..........

- What power do I want it to handle ?

- Where do I do most of my driving ? ( Cruising, Commuting, Drag Racing etc. )

- What is my driving style ? ( Smooth, Agressive, Both etc. )

- What kind of pedal feel do I want ? ( Heavy Button Style, Progressive/Stockish, Progressive/Heavy etc. )

- What CAN I honestly afford ? ( 24" rims scenario )

Once you know what you need, find out what's available that meets your needs ( heaps of guys on here can recommend something that fits your needs once you are specific about what you want ) and then buy it. Do this instead of saying "I've got $500 to spend on a clutch. What's the best I can get ?" and you'll be a lot happier in the long run.
