731, new clutch and shifter???need info Posted by E_RACER, Apr-16-01 10:00 PM
sup, i need a new clutch for my eclipse gs and i wanna up grade, I have a headers, intake, cat back exhaust and a bunch of other performance stuff. Im planing to add the Gude racing package and jet ecu up grade so i want a clutch that can handle it and i need to know what you peeps think i should get and about what price they run, also on the shifter i want a short shifter but i want it to be about half the height of the stock on just, that thing is to damn tall

 go with the B&M short shift kit. It shortens the shifter throw by either 35% or 50%.

obviously you are new to this board.
well if I were you I would not get the JET ECU. everyone here knows that they are nothing but a waste of money, and the gain is "NONE"
Guide NA racing package, seems to be very much as bad, I myself have not have any experiences with it, but there are a lot of people here who had and they never liked it. I also called them up like 2 months ago to ask if they can sell us some cams and all what they told me was crap. I mean they wanted $570 for their regrinds cams+my cams !!! WTF. if I were you I would wait till Crane comes out with cams for us ($400-$450) and these will not be regrinds and you won't have to give up your cams either, the best place to buy them from is Howell. you can also have your TB enlarged by the them as well. I am not sure if Howell does any porting to our cylinder heads, but if they don't you can have it done by CNNP. by doing all of the above, you will get some decent power gains, and you will not have to pay as much as you would with Guide.
I am sure most of the guys here would agree with me

AMEN Adel!
Go to Howell for your Cams and TB. Howell also hase 3 stages of head service ranging from $550 - $850. I've heard nothign but bad about Guide. JET is a waiste of money. Howell / AF/X is also working on a computer upgrade for us. You can also go the route of a S-AFC, which allows you to adjust fuel etc yourself.
I'm planning on Drag grind cams myself.
Definately go B&M their short throw shifter is adjustable 35% or 50% shorter throw.
As far as clutch. There are a lot of guys here who really like Clutchmasters, they have several stages. The stock clutch is surprisingly strong there are guy who have turbos and and put many miles on the clutch without slipping. But I also like Centerforce Dual Friction. There are guys who have had bad experiences with them, but I still think it's a good product.
Depending on what are looking to spend you might want to concider a lightened flywheel.
That's about all I have... and remember, on the street, Never start a race, but always finish it!
