Autotech themselves supply that clutch for $950 and when I told Joe how much I got it for he said that's cost price. im getting the Xtreme aluminium flywheel put in today that cost $210 I been told its far greater than the factory one. Car is almost finished cant wait to get it back on saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They replaced the disk on the pressure plate with a chromoly unit and swapped the clutch disk to a paddle wheel type setup. I also got a new chromoly flywheel and it only cost me $800 Drivability is 100% better than before and pedal feel is about the same as stock. It worked out to be much cheaper than any other option and it holds 305rwkw with ease. Thanks for all the replies agree'd that they hold the power with ease, I have a Extreme cerametallic XTRA-HD cushion button aswell and other than the slight shudder SOMETIMES , I can drive it perfect, but my mrs and friends cant use it very well they tend to shudder it on take offs.ive given this thing an absolute flogging and its still as good as the day it was installed. definately good value, I would NEVER touch a exedy after seeing other peoples experiences!

Oh well, you cant have everything when you pay such a little price for a performance clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 24/05/07 11:35 AM Share Posted 24/05/07 11:35 AM The guy I got mine done by said Xtreme Clutches can't make an organic plate worth a s@#t so if I were to go organic I'd be looking at an Option 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
