Look into RRE's X-Clutch

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

^your clutch should have lasted a lot longer. And with all do respect, are you actually reading this thread? People aren't going to make up your mind for you. There have been plenty of great posts about each clutch. From this thread I have decided to go with a southbend dxd because imo it seems very comparable to the 2600 but a little smoother. It's also cheaper which is a win for me.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

I was picking and choosing posts to read. I am not familiar with what is involved with clutches so I have no clue if I am able to use the pressure plate I have still or if that is even what provides the heavy resistance I have to push in the pedal. I'm just looking for a quick answer for a heavy grabbing clutch that will support what I have and want.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Try reading the entire thread, you will find most the info you're looking for. After reading everything, come back and ask more questions if you have any.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Ok. So I read them and I still don't know what to do. If I can keep the same pedal pressure as I have now thats good, what component is it? I do like my 2600 but I have heard from my cousin in the past that he was thinking of a southbend but went with what I have now. If the both are comparable and seem to be the same but different.. idk.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

I wont be getting anything anytime soon because of funds and garage space so its just ideas at the moment.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Dont get one with a feramic disk. Unless you like welding your drivetrain together. :)

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Thats why i will re-reccomend the sprung kevlar. It is a street disk so it's very driveable, but has amazing grab and can hold lots of power. With the 2600 its been proven to 30K with 500+ hp & tq by twick69 on tuners, and has withheld around 8k and 350 awhp for my car so far. With the pressure plate, if there are no heat spots/cracking/warping it should be fine, but I will reccomend replacing the pivot ball and clutch fork... the 2600 does alot of damage to those items.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Just so you know, pedal pressure doesn't really have alot to do with how well a clutch will hold power. Alot of it is what the friction disc is made of.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

On your ACT, it is the pressure plate that gives you the heavy pedal. Again like I said directly after your post, I recommend giving RRE a call and asking about their X-Clutch.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Ya I know that pedal doesn't have anything to do with the grip of the disk, I'll give them a call in a couple days or so. Thanks.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

I'll look into that. I trust your opinion it just seems a little pricey for me.

edit: where can you buy just the pp?

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

I know that modern auto sells just the pressure plate, and so does lse.Also, I also have a under 1K 2600 pressure plate sitting in my garage. I think I got the pressure plate for $290 shipped and then I got the sprung kevlar disk for ~$180 shipped. So it was a little pricey being close to $500 + clutch fork but I absolutely loved the grab and easy driveability. The disk has the kevlar built up like an 8 puck but is on a whole disk, so it is a big grabbier like a puck disk than my old full 2600 set up, but not grabby in a bad way. Minneapolis traffic was ok, and that was also with an act lightweight flywheel

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Yea I would love to go with a setup like that but imo that's a little more than I really need and more than I'd like to spend haha. This is my dd and I think a dxd would work just fine. Thanks though!

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Gunna bring thing back for a couple more last questions.

Halon if you reccomend the rre x-clutch so much could you give me a link? I can't find that one on their site.

I'm planning on going with the sbd dxd clutch kit. After skimming and re-skimming this thread and others I found it's right up there with the 2600 and should/could last just as long. If anybody has any reason to choose the 2600 or a diff clutch over the dxd post up and lmk soon. I'm be ordering this later today. :) thanks again for all your guys help

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

If you are actually interested in it, you must call them as they do not advertise it.

Here is a link to their Evo one, but the stats are different for the DSM one. Call them and they can tell you the specs.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
 

Ok I'll give them a call, but I'd like to stay under $400 for the kit if possible.

Re: clutch kit suggestion
