I was wondering which clutch everyone was using or planning to use. If you are currently using what do you like about it or which one so you wish you would have gone with? If you are currently driving an rb, which clutch do you plan to use and why?

I have a rb25 i am putting in a 240sx fastback. I will most likely be stock through the summer, but my goal is to reach about 400whp in the next year. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,Jody

i searched, but they only mentioned the act 6 puck. this is the clutch i was already considering but a friend of mine today mentioned centerforce dual friction. so i started to rethink which one i should go with.

ive had som friends have some bad luck with exedy, but im not sure if they broke them in correctly. i really dont ant to take any chance s though. i was thinking bout going with the act 6 puck sprung hub, but i couldnt decide on the heavy duty or extreme pressure plate. i was thinking about going with the extreme cause a friend here with the rb20 said he wished he wouldve gotten the extreme instead of the heavy duty.

ACT is the way to go. Unless you want to buy a really fancy clutch, then go with a multidisk exedy I guess. But for the money I would go with the ACT, its what im running in my car and its holding up awesome.

awesome, this makes me a lot more confident in the ACT, the guy that was tellin me exedy is the owner of the shop iwas gonna order from, and hes a great guy but he is obviously gonna push whatever makes him the most.

I had a XTSS clutch from ACT on my Turbo Integra and man that was a great clutch for a great price.
