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

My Spec Stage 2 has been holding up well, it started slipping around 4k miles after I put it in. When I pulled it out, it had a little bit of Syncromesh fluid on it, which appeared to be coming from the output shaft to the transfer case. I just lightly sanded the friction surfaces and used some brake cleaner to pull the oil out of the kevlar. Its been holding fine again since.
Once cleaned, the clutch disc looked like brand new, it was not visibly worn at all. -------------------- Eric Wort
