B00STDZ Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Well as some of you may know my clutch is slipping. The clutch I am looking at is the ACT Xtreme Clutch kit rated at 490 wheel torque with a street performance full clutch disc. I plan on daily driving this car but want this clutch to hold some power. IS the clutch pedal all that stiff with the "xtreme" pressure plate? they say the clamp force increase is 74% over stock.

jc052685 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I had a centerforce dual friction that i got for like a dollar lol. Started slipping and I was a little broke at the time. I bought an ACT 4puck solid center disk and am using it with the centerforce pressure plate. Thing holds like crazy!!! Solid disk is pretty rough but you notice the differance in shifting with the lighter disk. I recommend them and will use them next time around.

Nelsonian Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Different vehicle but same clutch company. I had an ACT 6puck on my modified 91' Eagle Talon awd turbo and it was a bit much for stop and go traffic, but held power very nice. I changed to a street disc and life was better. I will use them again on my l28et project when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00STDZ Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Well my tuner recommended me to "get a street performance full face clutch disc with a high sprung pressure plate" for a daily driver, Hence me looking at the xtreme pressure plate with the street performance clutch disc. But I wonder how much 74% is over the stock feel... Edited June 29, 2010 by B00STDZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc052685 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I think it is more difficult to drive a stiff pressure plate than modulate a softer plate with a better disk. The puck style disks hold up much better to heat and slipping. I wont go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00STDZ Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hmmm. I heard you have to launch the 4 puck clutchs though when you start from a dead stop or you will stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc052685 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I have no problems with my 4puck. Chatters really bad when modulating clutch slip in revers. From a stop its not really a problem at all. To me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B00STDZ Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 The extreme Pressure plate is what causes the pedal stiffness but yeah. You said its alright to drive downtown? Hmmm. They say it should hold 490 wheel torque so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
