Clutch Opinions

[Halon]

I'm currently running a Fidanza 4.3 clutch. It's a sprung 6-puck that claims to be able to hold somewhere around 650ish tq. It's holding my power real well, like on a 4th gear pull. No slippage.

But today was when I really started launching with this clutch, and it did not perform anywhere near what I would have hoped. Just the slightest slipping of it on a launch, and it slips through all gears for the entire run. It can hold tons of power, but if it can't take a launch then it's not much good to me.

So here I am now, looking for a new clutch, and open to hear what anyone has to say.

I'm looking at 4 or 6 puck ACT 2600's, 2900's, Competition stage 5, Clutch Master stage 5.

Keep in mind, that I do NOT want to go with a twin disk, so don't go there.

I'm thinking about going with a non-sprung hub. It may be a little bit rougher on the street, but I think the lack of a sprung hub may help avoid slipping it off the line, which should hopefully reduce the chances of me running into the issue I am.

What clutch was Shane running when he ran his 10?

My vote goes for the Comp Stage 5, or the Fidanza 5.4 if you want a solid hub.

I would go 2900, 3200, or Twin disk at your level, imo

I typically try to avoid ACT. Just haven't been all that happy with them in the past. But I may call them and ask them about their 2900 PP. I heard a couple people mention something about them having a new design on the 2900PP that allows for a lighter clutch pedal.

Twin disk is still something I'm really not interested in going with at this point in time.

Also that Fidanza 5.4 is a sintered iron disk. I've never felt one, but they sound harsh, so I'm a bit hesitant on that one.

[Kracka]

The 5.4 would definitely be rough on the drivetrain and not be much fun on the street.

I have the act 2900 with a sprung 6 puck and it seems to be fairly similar to the feel of a 2600 and holds good for what I have been able to put at it so far. Not too bad pedal pressure and drivability.

[Halon]

Right now I'm honestly leaning towards that, even though I told myself I was going to stay away from ACT.

Didn't they redesign their pressure plate and clutch disks lately tho that took care of previous problems?

I've been running the ACT 2600 with a 6 puck sprung disk for about 2 years. Been workin great for me. I say go for the 2900 with the 6 puck

I think the 2900 6 puck combo is rated at like 595 tq as well. If you want, you can drive my car to see if you like the combo.
