clutch on ebay

Well i broke in the clutch with about 400miles in 2 days and noticed this:

-The pedal is not heavy at all, it feels exactly like a spec.\
-Its a sprung clutch
-There is very little room to ease the clutch in, it grabs very hard (YES!! :) )
-Very street friendly, its organic and is very comparable to spec stage 3

-I have a weird noise thats associated with most 6 puck clutches coming from my drivetrain when i decellerate in 4th. Not sure what it is but i did a search and many people have this problem with 6pucks.

Now we'll see how long it lasts, and if you're wondering i have stock t25 on 13psi redtop SR

this was a great deal, get them while they're cheap! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33564&item=7980604691

i am very happy with this clutch... i'll admit its not for everyone... pretty hardcore, holds 400hp and big bang for the buck.

[kay_arsen]

nice got the same clutch what is the noise like?

[sepulchral]

waa waa waa waa in decellerating in 4th gear .... dunno what it is

[SlowCoupe]

maybe your drive shaft carrier bearing...i replaced my clutch and i get that sound/vibration only in decel above 2k rpm...i'm thinking its that but i haven't tried to replace it yet

[sepulchral]

what is the driveshaft carrier bearing?

[aznpoopy]

not sure but i think its that thing in the middle of the 2 piece driveshaft.

someone clue me in if im wrong.

[Pacman]

the bearing is the thing in the middle. Did you make the end of the driveshaft where it bolts to the diff? If its not in the same spot, I believe it can cause vibrations/noise.

looks like i am ont the only one with noise issue ever since i put exedy clutchin. have been getting same noise in 4th at low rpm.

anyway i am glad you are satisfied with that clutch because i just bought same Gripforce F1 clutch kit but Stage 1 and was little skeptical about its quality but now feel much better

[sepulchral]

Sorry to bump an old thread, but after a month or so the cheapss fuckshit TOB this company gives you craps out... DO NOT USE THE TOB, other than that the clutch is straight....

im running a spec stage 3 now though and i shipped this back cuz i wanted money back.

[dori2 s13coupe]

whut happend to the TOB?

[drift into a curb]

Yeah, always buy OEM for the TO bearing or at least go with a reputable company.

[s0ldats]

which one fits the KA?

[Ian]

this is why i manned up and put out the 360 for an Exedy Stage 2

so only thing htat gave out was the bearing? was everything else working fine up to last minute?

[sepulchral]

just the bearing sucks asss... dont use it.

[Al_S14]

haha o man i was messed up the other day when i replied ... didnt even realize that i have a clutch from same company(gpripforce) . its the standard Excedy and my bearing has been making noise past few months. mostly durring shifts if i give it too much gas...

this is kinda wierd tho it said it was a KOYO bearing and i was under hte impression they made decent products

[fliprayzin240sx]

Just get a TOB off stock Z32

[sepulchral]

or ieep your old tob, unlessit has play (ring moves around freely in bearing)

[Al_S14]

Just get a TOB off stock Z32
is it any better then standard factory bearing>?

[Xren17]

I was under the impression that everyone uses the Koyo bearings, even in ACT and Exedy clutch. So it would mean that the F1 clutch is a good replacement and that you just happen to have a defective bearing.
