yeah, i've got the same reviews about both clutchnet and spec. no ones had any complaints about southbend, but i cant afford a stg 5 from southbend right now. I was also looking into clutchnets, but the spec stage 5 clutch is rated to 560 ft/lbs where the clutchnets go to like 450 ft/lbs. Im about in the high 3's for ft/lbs right now, and I plan on turning up the boost soon after my engine work, So the spec stg 5 really sticks out ot me right now.

Also, if anyone has any chimes about spec, please inform! I have never tried new clutches, and am only going by reviews, which is hard because you never know if the person broke the clutch in the right way, which is what leads to most problems

Is spec notorious for failure?

 

Moar updates I say!

 

Could go local with Tampa Clutch Supply. Their 4 pucks are rated at 500 or 550, I forget. Apparently my last two were destroyed in all likelihood by a new manual clutch cable. I swapped in in the original (21 year old) self adjusting cable and haven't had any complaints. If you go that cheaper route make sure you try the disc on the tranny shaft, they once gave me one with a different spline count.

 

thanks man ill look into it! still leaning towards spec stg 5, probably going to go with that. pics tomorrow!

 

engine will be out by the weekend for all these goodies picking up clutch this week from urotuning!









thanks to kastan for the clean head for a great price! more pics soooooon

 

whatever u do dont get a spec clutch man trust me, im telling you south bend clutch is what u need a stg 5, full face, feels like a stock clutch

i get 10% off southbend clutches, im pretty much a dealer for them, i emailed the guy to get a price for ya on a stg 5,

 

I appreciate that, how is a stg 5 Full race going to be for daily driveability? haha dont forget this is my daily not a track car. i was just about to call urotuning and order the clutch and i pulled up this haha

 

its a full FACE not race, its just like a stock clutch with added pedal pressure, i had the same clutch in my car works perfect for a daily, all u need is a upgraded clutch fork to keep it from bending, and ur good to go,

i had a spec stg3+ in my car for 5k before i even boosted it and it did not hold over 10 lbs,

 

damn, alright. well let me know about the pricing! i appreciate the info its very valuable in this situation haha

 

yeah as soon as i know ill shoot ya text man
