ebay clutches

[gsxrbg]

just curious if any one has bought these clutches off ebay,it is a "6 puck stage 3 clutch" that says it will hold 395hp or so,but it is very cheap, compared to exedy or other big name brands, i know that you get what you pay for, but,if its just as good as the big name brands and you dont have to pay for the name on it then i will get it,any input will help,thanks in advance

I wouldn't buy it. I've heard stories of them fucking up on you after 3 days or so. Like you said, you get what you pay for, and a clutch isn't something I'd go cheap on.

I remember during the summer there was a review on F1 racing clutch (off ebay IIRC). Apparently the throwout bearing crapped out after a month or so. So, you may want to get some OEM parts off courtesynissan and use them with the clutch kit -- > if you aren't a risk-averse car person.

i actually had the stage 1 ebay clutch. is it called "xtd"? thats what i had and i did research on it before i bought it and some people had good experience with it, some didn't. i think its actually ok, the stage 1 i had is like stock. i got it for $125 shipped. i think a stock kit from kragen is about the same. if you have the money i say buy a respectable brand. if you need a clutch right now then they're alright.

That sounds more like a flywheel issue to me.

can you elaborate more on this statement? I was wondering how the fuck I grenaded my 2nd tranny on my U13. Since during replacement phase, I changed my flywheel also.
