6speedXR8 Mal Wood Automotive Member 537 Member For: 21y 9m 21d Location: WARWICK QLD Posted 12/01/07 02:18 PM Share Posted 12/01/07 02:18 PM I am looking at upgrading my clutch shortly, and want to know the options available and in use.I am not looking for sponsor wars etc - I just want to know what people have, and how they have found them to use.I have heard of extreme, Wog (aka XTC Performance) twin plates, and Mal Wood Option3 that may be suitable.I plan on running up to 300rwkw and use the car for towing my race car, so want a clutch that can cope with both (not necessarily at the same time though).Can you all post what you are using on your manual 6 speeds, and source, approximate prices please?PS - I dont want shuddering - the car is used to go to work in each day in traffic as well!←Mal Wood Automotive has an 11'' clutch that is unique, it is the ONLY 11'' clutch designed for the XR6T and Typhoon.This is known as the option 3 and features a Billet Steel Flywheel, an 11'' pressure plate with 2800 lb clamp and an insulated hub 11'' organic clutch plate and to complete the upgrade an Alloy CSC (instead of the factory PLASTIC one). The cost of this upgrade is $1530, this is unchallenged in the market place for outright performance and will hold 400 rwkw. Mal Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an affordable choice←We offer a 10.5" cerametallic option also, with a higher quality hub. We call it our option two. Cost is $880 inc gst. We do not recommend this for heavy traffic or towing, hence the reason we developed the option three. The option three is also 8kg lighter than the factory unit. Mal.
