Thread: XTD (Stage3) vs. ACT2100 vs. Exedy vs. others: Which to get??

Re: XTD (Stage3) vs. ACT2100 vs. Exedy vs. others: Which to get?? I bought that Exedy stock clutch and it looks like a very nice piece. Even the TOB looked as good if not better than the OEM one. Even had the nylon sleave. Installation went flawless and came with the clutch alignment tool. I don't have it back on the road yet (I've been lazy) but I have no doubt it will function without issues. Very impressed for a $100 clutch!...

Yeah, I wasn't sure if the light flywheel was a good idea in general for a daily driver but I want to get a new one. I don't know if I should just get my stock one resurfaced or get a new one.

That is probably complete crap but either way I figured if I am going to do this might as well put a brand new flywheel. Can I just put the stock on back...

I know it's not going to have much longer, because now I can push into it a little bit in 3rd gear, and it starts to slip... __________________ -Adam 97 GST: Urethaned 6 Bolt, ARPs, BSEK, 5031e, TiAL F38, PR o2, SBR Exhaust Manifold, Dejon 4" Intake, Pro Race ETS...

Re: XTD (Stage3) vs. ACT2100 vs. Exedy vs. others: Which to get?? I had the xtd 6puck clutch kit and it was the bigest peice of shit ever. Its the reason why i will never cheep out on a clutch again. The pads cracked and started to flake off after 8k mi.The torsion springs came loose making my car sound like shit at idle.The tob they give you with the kit started grinding after a few thousand mi. All it did was destroy my RRE flywheel and...
