Like the title says, I want to convert to a non-modular clutch. What all is needed? I know I'll need a new clutch and flywheel....but I need to know everything I'll need. Thanks guys.....

Personally I would get a rebuildable modular setup like Matt_t95gs. It's basically your standard clutch that bolts to a flywheel without starter teeth that bolts to you flexplate. It makes removal much easier but allows rebuilding. Howell sells clutches that use the Fidanza flywheel with no starter teeth.

Or you can do what i did. Took a modular stock clutch, drilled out the rivits, resurfaced the pressure plate and flywheel, and had a custom 6 puck ceramic facing disk made up. Then used some grade 8.8 bolts to now bolt it all together. Or if you want a clutch to hold some serious amounts of power, use the same clutch disk(ceramic), with an upgraded pressure plate from Clutchmasters, or Spec. Both of these companies just use re-worked stock Luk or Sachs pressure plates, the same ones we have as modular units. It works really well, and is MUCH cheaper than forking over 500+ for a new modular clutch, and is now, the disk is fully replaceable. My ONLY fear with the reworked "modular" setup, is the strength and integrity of the flexplate. I'm just not sure how much power and abuse that thing can take before breakage..thats the only downfall of this setup over a true non modular setup..

If the concern is the strength of the flexplate (which I don't think should be too bad because the HRC eclipse should still be using its flexplate) there is a flexplate upgrade that howell sells (among other people) that should be pretty beefy.

sweeetttt! you da man! I wonder with that being thicker, if that will throw off the clutch pedal engagement point? I guess if its not that much thicker that wont be a problem. It would move the entire cluch assembly outward a bit?
