My clutch appears to be starting to slip so I guess its come time to get a new one, it was inevitable anyways.
I just want to know what everyones opinions are on their clutches, because i want one that is as close to stock feel as possible, but still able to hold strong. I'm only shooting for around 350-375 horses, evoIII b16g turbo, front mount, on a 2g GSX, 18" wheels... Right now I am leaning towards the clutchmasters stage 3 or ACT 2100 (most likely CM), let me know if im off or whatever, thanks JD -------------------- 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Long ago I used center force clutches. I had brand new one just before the T3/T4 turbo and FMIC went on. It would not hold the power at all. It would slip around 5 grand in each gear. Power then was maybe 375-400? Went to the ACT 2600 and never looked back. The car dropped into the high 11's that summer and the clutch lasted from June 98 to April of 2000. There was 50,000 miles put on the first year and over 150+ drag stirp launches over the life of the clutch. A brand new ACT 2600 propels the current race car in the 9's. I may step up to the 3000 this year if need.
