Which clutch should i buy? - SRT Forums

srtmatt6805 · 11-23-2012, 07:16 PM

Hey guys i am new to this forum and i am having problems with my clutch slipping. i recently bought my first SRT it is a 2004 neon SRT-4 the previous owner said he had it on the dyno and it was producing 391whp so i decided to see if it was actually making that kind of power so i took it to the dyno in my city and found it only made 308whp but noticed the clutch was slipping a lot, so my question is what kind of clutch would you recommend i do drive this car a lot on the street and will be taking it to the drag strip and possibly to a closed circuit race track i also plan on upgrading to make more power in the future. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Matt

ACT HD Series Clutch w Flywheel 03-05 SRT4

or

ACT XT Series Clutch w Flywheel 03-05 SRT4

We need to know mods.

If they care is decently built, get a ACT 6 puck with the HD pressure plate. Good clutch for street driving and holds very well.

Have you or anybody you know every used that clutch with a extreme pressure plate?

Yep. It sucks for a daily. The XT plate makes it SUPER grabby.

That's what I figured. Is the pedal just extremely stiff? Or does it let go really quick? It wouldn't be for a dd more like a weekend car.

I'm getting the xtss as my daily driver with e85 on a stage 3

blackacrneon · 11-25-2012, 03:50 PM

Just saying, but why get a modified stock clutch? Get a clutch that is proven like something from ACT.

There was a lot of issues (and still is) with southbend clutches.
My friends stage 3 was fucked up and south bend kept saying it was okay.

between act's product and customer service.... you cant really beat them

Srt-4_Deon · 11-25-2012, 05:04 PM

Hey tuner would you reccomend that clutch for just a weekend street car?

tunerlover3 · 11-25-2012, 05:54 PM

If it just goes to the track, sure. If you drive it on the street at all, forget it. Some people will say they are fine driving it on the street, but I sure as hell wouldnt lol Also hard on the stock input shaft.

solarsrt4tn · 11-25-2012, 06:12 PM

I would NOT recommend an act 6 puck PERIOD unless you like getting locked out of gears at high RPMs. It may be okay for a stock turbo car but I am revving 65-6600 and constantly get locked out of fourth. Just my .02$
