    I'm looking at purchasing a clutch system either Center Force or ACT. The problem is I'm not sure. I want both daily driving and speed. Both brands I know are definitely quality but which out of the two would you suggest and why? Your shared experiences would be good.:thinking:

    i;ve never run a CF but have run many ACTS on toyotas and audis. have never had a problem and are streetable. for streetability either company will work just fine but what it comes down to is the package you choose. get a street disk that has smooth engagement and for a pressure plate nothing more radical then a stage 1 or HD.

    I'm running center force it's easy on the street any one of these clutches will be fine on the street or for that matter a 22r or 22re won't exceed the limits of stage one clutches

    I know this post had been awhile but I ended up getn a refund for the ACT because the manufacturer messed up the order and it took too long so I purchased an LC performance clutch from Racer's here in Guam. Now I need the How to steps for installation and to make sure I have all parts and tools needed. Oh is it neccessary I get a new flywheel? You advice is needed as well. Anyone?

    No u won't need a flywheel a simple scuff with a scotch pad and a few shots of brake cleaner and a wipe down will do . But is not a must I'm sure your kit came with a clutch anligment tool plastic thing
    As far as that just grab your basic hand tools and ratchet and remove the bolts holding your trans on and back it of the motor

    you MAY need a flywheel... have it checked at a machine shop or by someone who knows what to look for. If there are hard spots from heat, scotch brite pads won't get rid of them. If this is a daily driver and you don't care about it as long as it works: sure, toss the old one back in after a scotch brite pad and brake cleaner as long as there aren't bad hot spots. If it's any sort of performance at all or you just don't want to have to worry about maybe dropping the trans again, at least get it machined (correctly...a brake lathe works but isn't great for this) or just get a new one. stock are dirt cheap (got mine for $50 shipped from rockauto) aftermarket lightened will lighten the wallet by quite a bit more but will be a fraction the weight: the stocker's 25+lbs
