I bought my Max used and the clutch wasn't to bad then. Its still drivable (its not slipping or anything) but I'm ready to upgrade. What are you guys using? How does it perform? And what is a decent price for a good one? Any feedback is appreciated.!

If you can find one to fit your application, SPEC or Tilton is the way to go. Spec is an advertiser here, so you may get a little bit of a discount also.

I'm lookin at the site now. I'm pretty much stock engine wise, but over this summer i was going to do some upgrades. Possibly Supercharge if the wife gives me the go ahead. Would the stage 2 be a better buy so I don't have to buy again later or should Stage 1 be good?

If you supercharge, stage 2 will be better. It will be a little stiffer to drive with, but if I had a manual, that's what I would be running!

Thanks. I'm not SC yet but by this summer I will be. A lil bit of $ came my way soooo I convinced my wife how bad i need it. I think that will be my one big purchase for the year. It was a SC or CF hood & trunk. i went for the first option.oh yeah I ordered the stage 2 and hold them till i put the SC on. Is there any write ups on putting in the clutch yourself?

If you are going for perfromence, Yea. The Stage 2 would be a great addtion. Don't do a stage 3 though. It is just not worth the price and the type of car. Those don't even slip it is crazy. And tough to drive at first even for a manuel driver.

I was wondering if it was possible to change out the gear box to a different ratio? if it is... have you done it or have any suggestions. I have an 01 SE the Anny Ed. would a 06 gear box fit?
