I was doing some research on clutch choices. I was going to try to post up the choices/info that I came up with. I thought it might be better to just post the links because some of this is opinion and I don't want to try to "second hand" it. I find this info very interesting.

I started this by looking at the options available and just thought that there weren't many cost effective options. This is not to denigrate any of those choices that we like (i.e. South Bend) but I wanted something that was closer to OEM cost but held a little better. Plus I wanted choices of mod and non mod.

Eh, thought this might help.

I can get you a new 6 puck ceramic disc with a sprung hub fully assembled with a new pressure plate (10% higher clamping force), a resurfaced flywheel, and new throw out bearing shipped to you for $420 (including core) But I need your clutch back after you do it (core on the clutch is $20 which you'll get back when I recieve your old clutch). I will personally vouch for the quality of these clutches from Savannah Clutch (Savannah, GA). I have been running one in my car since June with No problems and I can get the tires to break free in 3rd N/A. I have put clutches from Savannah clutch in 525 WHP F-bodies, EVO's and more. -Kevin

This is an exerpt from another post of mine. The unit is bolted together when you get it, not rivited. So if you want to open her up, you can do so. PM me your phone number and I can call you with better details on it.

just to update you , ACT does make clutches for us now, saw them At MOD and talked to them. Its listed in their catalog too.

Really? That's news to the ACT guys at the East Coast shoot out at E-town. I spoke with them and they said they had nothing availble for the 420a but they were looking in to it (which is apparently what they have been saying for years), lol! Is it a modular?

And I quote (from my call to them. I spoke to Darrell) "we are working on it but we do not have an application yet" verbatim.

I could not find it on their catalog/page. But they do have the 2.4 listed. Maybe that's what you saw? The SRT-4 is not the same application.

dude,

pg 8
pg 26
pg 27
pg 44 (Pt, sebring & avenger)
pg 45 (neon)
pg 47 ( talon non turbo 95-98)
pg 63 (clipse RS/GS non turbo 95-99)

Now that's funny shit, lol! I used their application selector and they don't list our cars. So then I called and got that same pat answer. Damn :-o

Well, there you go fellas. It appears that ACT is also in on the act (yeah, real bad pun). Though their sales people may not know it.

Thanks Chamuko,
