Hey guys, I was looking to upgrade my clutch next year and and I wanted to know what was the best clutch out there for the 5th Lude... I don't track the car or drag it but I would like to change the clutch to an aftermarket brand... Any suggestions or experiences?

 

[Joon525]

Dr James reccommended some brand RPS or something like that a while back. Anyone remember the exact name and website?

Mugen front bumper and sides with a combat rear bumper for sale in NJ....talk to me personally. East coaster highly, HIGHLY preferred. Also now for sale Tanabe G Power Medalion for 280 and 18" Racing Hart TypeC5's (Price not decided yet)

The site is www.turboclutch.com but I have the ACT kit and am happy with it.

Sorry, did it mention that I am running my car N/A? I don't have a Turbo or Supercharger... (otherwise, nothing too crazy...)... How is Neuspeed?

 

[anubyss]

Get the ACT street setup. HA3-HDSS is the kit you want. Most people would agree you can't go wrong with ACT if you just want an aftermarket clutch kit. Hope this helps.

Hey how hard is the pedal with that kit? Much harder than stock? Same?

I 2nd that. I had one on my old 240SX and it grips pretty well.

IMO Neuspeed is just overpriced because of its name!

 

[anubyss]

The ha3-hdss is a %41 increase in pedal pressure. Well that's what the site says anyway. I have the extreme kit (ha3-xtss) and the pedal pressure at least doubled. You get used to it quickly though.

What's a good clutch to run with a small shot of nitrous? I want it to feel pretty much like stock and last a long time...I would sacrifice some grip for those two things.

JMCN: I'd try the RPS pressure-plate with a stock disk. Should provide some extra grip, but still be driveable.

How small is the shot?

Assume it's < 75, I'd say a stage 2 from ACT will serve ur needs. Clutch will be a lil stiffer but u can get used to it pretty quickly. As for longevity the clutch should last as long as u don't abuse it too much! "U KNOW"

55-shot

RPS grabs hard as hell and is barely any stiffer than stock. Most of my friends have them or are buying them. I will be doing the same.

[vabeach_lude]

oh and the RPS's dont come with the clutch bearing so you have to buy one from Honda. I am not sure if other clutches like ACT come with them or not.

 

[99prelude]

i heard that using the honda throw out bearing is the wiser choice.

 

[DNA_Cyan]

yah...ACT has their own bearing, but use the OEM Honda bearings.....they are better.

I have had my clutchmasters stage III for around 15,000 miles and am happy with it. No problems at all.
