6MT...What clutch are you using?

jpsimon · 04-23-2012, 11:42 PM

I have SPEC Stage 3 clutch/lightweight flywheel.. Clutch has held up beautifully to a lot of abuse, and the lightweight flywheel feels great but the chatter does bug me. I find myself sitting at lights with my foot pressing the clutch to keep it quiet. If I was to do it again I'd most likely not go that route with my daily

How much does ur flywheel weigh? Spec seems to be a possible option in the stage 2 to 3+ range.

jpsimon · 04-23-2012, 11:50 PM

er, i got the stage 3, not stage 2.

their flywheel weighs 14lbs if i remember correctly

Bme30 · 04-23-2012, 11:52 PM

I just bought my clutch. What other parts should I have replaced?
Throw out bearing....etc.
I want this thing done right the 1st time.

MrRager · 04-23-2012, 11:55 PM

they do chatter on the e90 chassis alot. but to me its a small setback for major rewards

you WILL find yourself holding the clutch down in drivethrus, i had a 12lb in my old e90 and it was ridiculous, especially with the a/c on

blackshan · 04-23-2012, 11:57 PM

Damn chatter!!! I want a flywheel!!

335iJWC · 04-24-2012, 12:01 AM

Im at 60k FBO plus meth on stock clutch!

So i will be replacing mine very soon, i was thinking of the HPF.

I have a clutch stop and love the pedal feel not sure if the act will work with it.

From what I hear the stop doesn't. Yea my clutch is still good with fbo and meth but the time will come.

I would take out the clutch stop if you change your clutch.

AU335i · 04-24-2012, 01:40 PM

what makes you think your clutch is giving out by only adding a tune?

oh and wtf does a clutch stop do lol

I will, then play the height depending on the clutch i decide to go with.

How is the engagement point on the SPEC (especially compared to the ACT). The only thing keeping me from ACT is the floor engagement. Your opinion on SPEC are welcome.

RevC · 05-04-2012, 11:43 PM

unless your running upwards of 380whp or launching it excessively, or high mileage.. why in the world is your clutch going..

if you have too...resurface the oem, and feramics or..i also like the ACT HDR..very nice. good luck
