@@aportsetivac8023 I don't why why not but I don't need to daily my evo since I have a car to daily. I did drive the evo everywhere the first month of ownership and personally had no issues, yes the pedal is stiffer than stock but it was fine.
@@turbinator1990 and how hard is your clutch? Do you think it's still drivable in a heavy traffic?
You explain yourself very well my friend, you’re the right man for this job God bless you.

@maperformance can you do a video like this on best clutches for sst gearbox please
I have a stock powertrain 2011 WRX, it currently has a stage 3 clutch (unsure of the type) and i'd like to go back down to smooth enagement and easier daily drivablity but I like the quicker engagment it has. Have any reccomendation?
Can you do exedy clutch with ACT lightweight flywheel?
What about a forged clutch fork? I have a 2015 Subaru WRX limited with 300whp/tq .. just recently had a new clutch put in - a Clutchmasters stage 1 pressure plate/disc, an Exedy OEM Subaru BRZ/WRX flywheel (a bit lighter than stock), Verus forged clutch fork/billet fork pivot, PDM snout repair/sleeve kit .. love the way it feels now .. I already have polyurethane shifter bushings and a weighted shift knob and also added a kartboy shifter linkage reduction (40% shorter throws) .. the car reacts much more quickly now
a little late to the video but it was very helpful still concerned about what to use for my 09 370z with aftermarket dual air intake cat back exhaust and cat delete no tune i haven't driven it much yet cuz of a medical issue and kinda worried about driving it without tune wondering what might be a good option for a new clutch before i do tune it.
Very well explained 👏
Thank you 🙂
GREAT INFO!
Thanks for watching!!
What Exedy clutch would you guys recommend for a 320awhp Evo 9 that will never see over 400awhp in its life. I've had a stage 2 action clutch on the car for almost two years and it has been crappy since the beginning and took a crap yesterday. Thank you for your help.
Hi what you raccomand to change clutch in acura integra gs-r1993 engine b17a1 thankyou i like go fast not for competition

I just wanted to see which clutch I should be running on my 550 whp sti. I have ACT heavy duty but wanted to see which one was better than that one
Spec stage 3+
Thinking about buying an heritage edition z. Is the Xedey clutch a upgrade for this car. or should i just buy a regular Z
My throw out bearing is already whining in my 2017 Honda Civic with 60k miles. I had used it for city driving in 6 months of 2020.
Had to order a new clutch after a tune on my car called MAP to see what clutch i should run becuase first time building a car, now running a Clutch Masters FX350 w/ a lightweight flywheel. It holds more than I will need for a about a year. thanks guys!
For Honda or Subaru? It's a great clutch!!
MAPerformance Honda - sadly the same day i wrote this the CM clutch basically died after only 2100 miles for no good reason, i just ordered a ACT clutch with John and he was great! Just upset i lost money on that CM clutch.....
@@felipehoyos9484 Wow! That certainly seems odd - might just be bad luck? Let us know if we can do anything!
MAPerformance already reached out Friday when it happened, hoping CM refunds or replaces it... if not I’d love it if you guys hooked me up some how ? Lol
@@felipehoyos9484 my ACT clutch arrived defective. Had my CR-V in the shop for the past 3 months; new jdm engine, transmission, clutch and full suspension redo. Cost me $5,029.00 (in labor alone) yesterday only to be told the clutch is faulty and since the 90 warranty expired while my car was being worked on I AM FK'D out of a nice chunk of money. I won't buy jack shhhh from Car ID nor ACT ever again!! Next is a new clutch, forged rims and a Big Garret Turbo!!!
I bought a stage 3 action clutch on accident but is it okay to put it on a stock civic si 2014
I have a 2000 Nissan maxima manual what clutch I can up grade for fast changing gears
Wat clutch set up is in peugeot3008 diesel , 2011 plate !
Would a exedy stage 1 organic clutch be good for my daily driven 2006 legacy gt? Its got a iag stage 2 block with 380hp idk about the torque tho and i dont drive my car hard btw
Supercharged my 3.8 Gen Coupe and the OEM clutch slips. Still don’t know what to get without having a tune first to see where I’m at.
So i need a new clutch for a brz, which should i buy? Its being used for personal use
so ill be fine putting a stage 1 clutch in a stock 350z ??
nice video!! good!
Thanks!
What is the recommendation for bmw 335i 2012 N55 daily drive, and the end goal is to be at 500HP. Thanks!
Is the price point for a twin disc clutch worth it? I want the peoples opinions! That’s why I’m asking here.
need a stage 2 that will fit my Mazda 2 2014 ???
Well that answers my question.. I guess I should get an unsprung clutch for my 370z as you had two in the video example lolllll street build 300whp but want to be able to do burnouts and drifts
Awesome now I know how to get one for my car…!
If i plan on upgrading my car to get high horse power and torque but my car is stock and the clucth is starting to slip. Is a bad idea to just upgrade it to a performance one now instead of later? Or just get a standard one now amd upgrade it again later. I plan on building my wrx sti within the next 2 years to a stage 2-3
Any concerns on flywheel chatter? I'm in the market for a lightweight flywheel and stage 1 or 2 clutch, but looking to avoid any chatter.
What about a 6th gen ek civ
Nice Video! I have a 2016 Subaru wrx, the throw out bearing in these cars are no good. Im looking for a nice street clutch for my daily, but with some spirited driving. I’m also looking to stage 2 eventually with some MAP parts. My end goal is not having to constantly deal with this TOB problems and have many many miles of smiles. Thanks!
Do you have a clutch fork spring? Perhaps under the intcooler? Ive read of it in forums for legacy, they said sti comes stock with one
I’m in the same boat as you. My daily 2016 wrx, want to upgrade my clutch possible stage 2. What did you end up going with? And how is it treating you
@@stangsO9Spec brand Stage 2+ clutch. Mechanic i felt comfy with did it. 67 miles in, does well. Like a 3in engagement area on the whole pedal stroke. It's in a great area im usually just nervious & trying to baby & end up doing more than good. My previous owners basically closed coursed my car lol so their alleged stage 2 clutch blew after me 'learning' for 2k miles. Uhm yeah spec been cool & dec. I bought an upgraded fork clutch that was not needed. Was too heavy for the retainer spring mechanic said. So i got stock fork with new alum flywheel, clutch, press plate, throwout bearing. My tans nose had damage in the past from a hella worn out TOB. (BEARING GOUGES & FKS WEAR SURPHACE). so a machinist make a sleeve you can slip over but then it is a few mm smaller inside diameter bearing than OEM. That happened in my vehicle & i had no clue that other owners fkd it like that (not a huge deal_ sleeve is avaible & the bearing was on hand in MT even) like 33mm vs 37. Uhm yeah so im breaking the clutch in & im stoked. Read much of 500mile break in & such. Yet realized today-- i has to be the amohnt of shifts- to get a good seatinf surohace to flywheel vs friction plate. As a person can travel 500 miles in 14 shifts. But if you get 3,000 'perfect' shifts in 300 miles think that the ideal- for example. Let u know. Thanks for wondering.
I was looking to get a twin disc for my 2016 wrx that is my daily but also drive it pretty hard and will be eventually going for around400hp/400tq. What would you recommend?
ACT and Comp have some great options. Give us a should Michael, we'd love to talk specifics with you!
Ok I have a 96 eclipse gs daily driver what’s the best complete clutch set up it’s a daily driver not modified any any way I drive cautiously not a crazy driver
can you define "really high" or a "lower" torque car?

Just purchased the ACT street clutch from MAP
Let us know what you think! What platform?
I got ACT hdss on my Evo X, it says it hold up to 600 torque but it’s full face clutch, not sure if that’s true.
ACT says around or under 530wtq. It really depends on how you are driving it too!
What clutch would you recommend I have a 2011 evo x have bolt ons exhaust , intake ,ebcs solenoid , GESI high flow pipe .

What’s a good website to buy a clutch?
Thinking about getting a flywheel and clutch for my 97 Miata, stage 2 seems ideal

What’s considered a lot of torque?
Hi,
I have a 2016 mustang GT. It will probably be stock or bolt on for all of its life. Maybe just being a little over stock. I’m still confused if I should invest in a dual or single clutch. This is my daily and I just want something that is better than stock and doesn’t lock me out of 2nd or 3rd gear at high rpms because the stock clutch is so bad. What would you recommend. I don’t want something that is overkill if I can just have a single disc that is better than oem.

Thanks for the video! What stage 3 clutch do you recommend for bmw 335i 2012 n55 stage 2+? I use it as a daily drive but I want to reach the 500hp at some point.
Hey!
I highly recommend calling in to our sales department to see which ones we have in stock for you!
I have a 2001 f150 with a 200hp 4.2 v6. My concern is the truck weighs 4000lb. I feel first gear is to high so when I start out I have to feather the clutch. How do I pick a clutch/pressure plate combo for longevity?
If it launches hard when you ease out you're starting in too low of a gear. This results in clashing against the flywheel it's like dumping the clutch, try taking off in the next gear
So would a stage 5 triple disc be a pain for a daily 450whp 2008 STI?
most definitely
Whats the best clutch i can buy for my 10th gen si? Ive been on hold for act for about 6 months now and my supplier has exedy and competition clutches. Im trying to daily and have some bolt ons for it already
Any luck in finding I’m on the same quest , I’m about to be FBO
I’ve driven almost 30k miles on the clutch master fx400 rigid disk for the stock dual mass flywheel. It’s been amazing no chatter no issues perfect engagement and I installed it myself and I know what I’m doing so that probably a factor as to why I’ve had such good luck with this clutch and I’m making 350whp over 300wheel torque 50k+ miles beating on it all day long
Just ordered Exedy stage 2 and flywheel for my 10th gen si. Not very much feedback on it, so we'll see how it goes
Should be awesome! Let us know what you think.
i gotta ‘15 Civic Si & i wanna cop a stage 1 or 2 but in your opinion is exedy?? Good

What clutch would be best for my 2014 Honda accord I don't want the regular one just a Lil more spunk what brand and stage and from where do I get its for everyday use
A clutch isn't going to make any more power, no matter what stage it is. If your Accord is stock we would recommend an OEM replacement, otherwise you're just wasting money.
What do you see as high torq cars? There are racing cars like the MX5 NA with only say about 126bhp and 150Nm but its a race car? Is this low torq but racing level so stage 3 or higher? Or mainly stage 1 or 2?
Stick with a stage 1 for that application! These can put up with the abuse of racing!

Good question
how about a clutch for H2B ?
I would go with c.c. (competition clutch)
It works really good. What type of setup do you have? Mods? Horsepower? I have a em1 and I have used lots of clutches.
i have an 06 g35 sedan manual transmission and the past couple weeks, my clutch has been receiving a gap and it seems like it's getting bigger. i don't think i have an issue with my release point but now it feels like when i push my clutch down i have to push it to the floor due to the gap. is they because it's stage 3 and just broke in or do i need s new clutch ?
Thank you for teaching us. 07 hawkeye sti modded here. I will definitely be shopping here when my clutch starts slipping. Goal is eventually 340whp but currently at 301whp.

I swear the back track is lil peep
How the hell are you supposed to get the right clutch when you call product support and say you want an 11” clutch for a Chevy 327 without extended fingers give them all the measurements and they can’t help you. These help lines are worthless!
Basic stuff. Very disappointing that they didn't even touch on the importance of using up all the increased friction surface area that an aftermarket flywheel will provide.
Most of the time an aftermarket flywheel will have a bigger contact area than your factory clutch disc, therefore simply by stepping up disc and pressure plate diameter you instantly increase the holding power using the same organic material.
It's MAP Performance btw not MA Performance, the P is used in both words. Good video though.
