I need a cluch - SRT Forums

GoChris · 10-23-2009, 02:48 PM

So I need a new clutch. I've emailed TH Motorsports since they have a sale in their vendor section, no reply yet.
I've called mopac, they gave me not bad pricing but at least 10-14 days out to get one with a guesstimate on shipping cost. Also tried SpeedTech in Calgary with even worse pricing but not sure how quick shipping is.

Those were for ACT clutches. What other ideas or places can I try? I tried modern performance but the brokerage and customs charges on the clutch masters are insane.

Also I don't think I want to get the ACT flywheel, it's crazy expensive, but according to the fidanza website, so is theirs. Yet at modern for example, to move up to the alum flywheel it's only $100 more.

Thoughts? I was looking at ones that will hold 580-600 tq, the DN3-HDG4 ACT for example, or the FX400 4 puck.

I have exactly that clutch for sale, ACT 6 puck, used for 8 000km, check your PM.

Search the forums. . .

SOUTH BEND is the clutch you want!

Got it through Realtune. PM Aaron he'll give you exactly what fits your needs and ship via USPS to keep costs down.

I went with the South Bend and Fidanza Flywheel!

I think GLH and Chris @ CTA may be able to get it for you as well (from Canada).

Been following a thread about SB clutches, some 45 pages deep, make that 49 with MAJOR customer complaints about vibration and the odd one about gear chatter,just giving you a heads up, search button is your friend

If u have problems with your southbend clutch

GoChris · 10-23-2009, 11:17 PM

ya, I wasn't really considering a SB after reading up on it. That's why I didn't mention it. Thanks for the head up either way

south bend sucks some crazy dicks, do yourself a favor and if ur modding more than stage 2, get urself a non modular clutch...

My SB stage 3 let go last weekend after 3,000 miles and about 40 passes. I need something that will hold better on slicks.

I have a Clutchmasters Stage IV. Shoot me a PM/offer. About 3,000 km's on it.

What exactly suxs about our SBC's ?
Had mine for about a year & it seems to be holding fine...
maybe coz my skittle's only Stage WTF ? lolz

What sucks about SBC? For one, not SFI certified.

Two: Their customer service is a joke. The typical "send it in and we'll fix it" gets old after you drop your trans multiple times to send the unit back. If your car is a DD, you will get pissed.

Three: They are crooks. I went from a vibrating and slipping Stage 5x modular (Cant remember how much I spent on that), then they talked me into the Stage 4 RS for ANOTHER $600 saying this was the be all end all of clutches. I installed it and the damn thing never disengaged right from day one. Caused a synchro to fail and I asked for a refund of just the $600 and not the original purchase of the Stage 5x that never worked like advertised either. They declined. I contacted my credit card fraud department. The credit card company quickly decided in my favor.

Good luck.
