i have had 2 extreme clutches both the same type 9puck button.

the 1st one latest 2years of lots and lots of abused (drift practices, mc, drags days etc)

when it started slipping i replaced it with another 9puck button clutch which failed in less than 10months, the driving conidtion were normal with no abused.

extreme told me that the clutch failed because of clutch dumping.. which is complete bs! i was luck if i dump the clutch onced.

i say poor quality control, and thats why i wont use another one..

just my 5cents

Sounds like what's happening to mine.. friction point moves to the floor and I lose the top half of the pedal travel..

I started a thread in Drivetrain etc but no1 has replied yet :)

thats been happening to mine too. every now and then when taking off from the light my clutch engages just of the floor, i push it back to the floor and try again and it goes back to grabbing right at the top of the peddle. weird? :w00t: I been putting this down to air in the line.

ok. decided on a NPC clutch (modified nismo gtr pressure plate with sprung 5 puck clutch plate )which was fitted by in tune performance. the thing grabs like a bitch and not to hard to drive with. Also after fitting a apexi power pod and apexi front pipe (had stock front pipe and k&n panel) i drove outta the with 290rwhp, was 270. and yes, i did stall it the first time :)

just remembered, found out that my extreme clutch plate had worn away my flywheel and pressure plate faces and lost clamping pressure, clutch plate was fine? (thought this was supposed to be the wearing part)

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
