Im about to just use my exedy stock clutch disc with the trd 3sgte pressure plate. I dont see why the clutch would be an issue. Most clutch companies use the same materials, just different pressure plates for increased torque hold. I donno what to do. Im scared to get a racing clutch. I drove a turbo ford festiva and the clutch was a 4 puck full race. It was either launching like on the drag strip or it would stall. This is my daily driver. I dont want to have to launch it in the snow! Ill just try the stock disc and see what happens.



your going to reuse a stock disk that was already in your 5sfe? that will last you a few months at best. do it right and get something upgraded.

never buy a 4 puck or less.. those will be horrible on the street. a spring loaded 6puck is a nice way to go. easy to drive on the street while still has the power to grip. they also sell normal disks made out of kevlar (like the spec stage2) that fastbird is talking about. anything like that will be a good bet (assuming spec has fixed their stage2 issues).

Well I decided to get the spec stage 2 custom clutch disc for my 3s-gte swap. With this car being my daily driver I dont want any unavoidable problems errupting. Total with shipping was $190.00. Oh well. I just wanted a streetable clutch. ACT wasnt much help. They just pissed me off. Basically they gave me a run around either because I had a custom setup or because I wasnt buying the pressure plate from them. They just seemed to be throwing it in my face that "swaps not as easy as it seems. huh?" . Spec on the other hand was very helpful and worked with my needs. They gave me several options. I'll see how it works in about 2 weeks when I drop this engine in! Thanks for all your input everybody!
