I'm thinking of picking up this kit off of E-bay and just wanted your guys opinion!Any help would be appreciated.Larrs

 

XTD it seems has a bad reputation for taking stock clutches and taking a rattle can to them and reselling them ESPECIALLY from E-bay. After what I have read, I was going to get a XTD clutch kit but have decided against it. You may get the real thing but if some XTD stuff is branded and some isnt, I wouldn't take a chance even if it was genuine.

xtd makes a good product and they have a money back warrenty on everything. ALL PRESSURE PLATES ACT,gripforce,xtd,OEM they are all valeo Pressure plates.

i have a lightweight flywheel i'll sell you if you like, its gripforce f1 brand. PM me and i'll match any reasonable price you find online.

 

Please go read the clutch feedback thread, there's lots of folks with lots of problems with LOTS of the clutches out there, to INCLUDE THE SOUTHBEND POS clutches.

 

So I finally installed the Stage 3 clutch kit with flywheel today. Holy shit! Did I ever need a new clutch. This thing is grabbing like nothing I have ever owned before. I'm very happy,well after the 700kms break-in period I'll be very happy.....Larrs cool.gif

 

Did you inspect it before installing it to see if it was a rattlecan job?

 

Valeo pressure plate painted ok,no over spray.Looked liked this.Larrs

 

be carefull, i had three friends who bought that xtd stage 3 for their cars and it blew all three of their trannys. cars where 87 supra turbo, 92 240sx, and 93 civic.

 

I installed the same clutch with flywheel about 2000 km's ago and am very pleased with it so far.
Have few small mods and have taken it to the track with slicks on the car and there is no slipping and it grabs great. fing02.gif
