Hey

Well it looks like I am gonna need a new clutch next season I currently have an ACT2100 that was installed last summer and its slipping NOW now I did race the car allot but I thought I would get another year out of it but I guess not. I personally think it was not installed right but I cant really prove it.

So This what I want to know

- can I keep my current pressure plate and just get a new disk ? any down side to doing this ?

- is there any other clutch that is as good and a bit more durable?

- any new cutting edge cluctched are out for our lovely low maintenance cars

You can just buy the disc but I'm pretty sure it's not much cheaper then just buying the whole pressure plate/disc combo.Depending on how bad you burnt up your old clutch you might need the pressure plate anyways due to heat marks or stress cracks etc.You could try the ACT2600 for a little more clutch but beware of crankwalk.Good luck

Yeah, take it off and have a look at it. You might of fried the Disc material.

Having said that maybe a 2100 is not enough for you, especially if you do a lot of 1/4 mile pass (lots of hard launch).

I for myself have a 2100 with a Mitsu Disc and satisfied with it but I only attend to a few events each year.

You could maybe try a more agressive Disc like a 6 "cough" Pucks.

I heard that the 6 puck setup is really bad and not very street friendly, harsh engagement and allot of clutch chatter

I agree, not street friendly at all.
2600 + 6puck = elephantitis of the left leg muscles.

I have a 2100 with a 6 puck. It is a harsh and chattery engagement. You get used to it after a little while though. Before the 6 puck, I had the act street disk and it only lasted a year. Defineately put a mitsu release bearing in while you have it apart.

Yasar, I love my ACT 2600 clutch...Extreme pressure plate and street disk. Although the street disk is probably worn and I think needs to be replaced soon.

Its stiff, but you get used to it and it doesnt bother me at all...I like it.

I still have my 7 bolt engine in with no problems of crankwalk at all yet.

If you don't need the pressure plate, the street disk by itself is quite a bit less money than the kit. I can get you the street disk for $179.95 plus shipping plus taxes (or the 6 puck disk for $149.95 plus shipping plus taxes), compared to $470. for a 2100 kit or $560. for a 2600 kit!!

Has anyone had any good luck with centerforce dual friction? I was thinking about this over the 2100(can get CFDF dirt cheap)Anyone with opinions. Heard lots of mixed reviews

Great clutch.
This is what I have in my FWD and I've had no bad experiences with it.

Has a bad rep though: It needs a longer break-in period than most clutches (1000km), and who wants to wait for that :rolleyes: so, some people mess that up and it starts slipping early.

Thats what I wanted to hear! Man thats going to save me lots of loot!

I have a Centre Force Dual Friction as well. Got it installed in my '91 AWD about 30 000 k's ago (3 years). It's been great. I previously had a 2100 and the hold in the CF DF is equally good; it's never slipped an inch. And I can now start in 2nd gear in snow, and the pedal effort is softer but still sufficiently stiff. I'd say go for it, but I've heard the same stuff as you about slipping almost immediately. Maybe those people did go too hard too soon.
