So I pulled my tranny off and my pressure plate was broken in two, How does this happen and what can I do to make sure this doesnt happen again. So now i am in the market for a new clutch. What type/brand/stage should I get? Where can I get one for a good deal? Thanks

 

Wow! Can't say I've heard of that happening!

South Bend just dropped some new clutches on the market that are supposed to be the ****...

If you have any questions about them you can hit up Aaronneon@realtune over on srtforums....

 

there are a lot of people complaining about their southbend clutches. i would wait for a while and see if they fixed their issues.

i always will recommend the clutchmaster s4. no real issues with it and it grabs hard but is easy to drive on the street. great clutch.

 

They actually did fix the issue. Was a matter of the bolts on the flexplates needing to be aligned and/or replaced because the heads of the bolts where causing interferance. It was a vibration issue, not a performance issue. They now use different bolts and the new clutches are rated even higher in the amount of tq they can handle. There are a lot of happy South Bend customers on the red forum...

I have nothing negative to say about clutchmasters either....

 

the clutch that I just brake was a clutch masters stage 4, 4-puck and I broke the pressure plate in two. My shop is telling me to use this clutch http://www.agpturbo.com/product.php?...272&page=1..... what do you think about this one?

 

run really far away from act. and comp. and a few others. the only clutches that seem to work well are the clutchmasters and the southbend.

 

damnitI just bought that act clutch, AGP tells me that is the only clutch they use in their cars, What is no good about those clutchs? I was skeptical about using another clutch master cuz I only had that one in since november and the clutch was really worn and the pressure plate snapped. I hope this one works well

 

they slip. not as bad as the comp, those are horrible.

what are they calling "their" cars? just wondering because as far as i know they only had one in-house srt, and i'm not even sure that they have it anymore.

 

please tell me you did not pay 900 dollars for a clutch........

 

no I paid 750 for clutch and flywheel
