Which Clutch to get?
 
I need to get a new clutch I am trying to decide between act street or a Clutch Masters stage 1 clutch. They cost about same, I was hoping to get a supercharger next year or two. Which of these be the best for that or are they about the same?

Fanman 05-27-2006 12:09 PM

ACT. A bunch of people here have their setup.

Will getting a aftermarket clutch void my powertrain warranty?

swoope 05-28-2006 02:20 AM

it will void you clutch and pp warranty... cause it is new...

after that you have to fight for you right to vote.

btw search is a good thing and sticky trumps search...

food for thought..

My clutch went out after 25K miles. The car was towed to the dealer. The dealer said if I go w/ a aftermarket clutch ,only the clutch won't be cover. Thats why I'am asking. If the clutch voids the whole warrenty then I will also get a act flywheel.

then buy the mazdaspeed setup and keep the warrenty

hitman408 05-28-2006 03:02 PM

Does mazdaspeed sell a clutch in the US?

djmano 05-28-2006 03:55 PM

i have the SR motorsports HD clutch and have no complaints so far. grabs hard and is pretty easy on my left leg.

But thats for a Japan's mazdaspeed and that won't be covered under warrenty either. If I get a act flywheel will that just void the flywheel part? I decide to get the act street clutch, but I'am in between the act and mazdaspeed flywheel.

take some time and read through the vendors section, you can find what you want and save lots of money...

beers :beer:

hitman408 05-28-2006 10:04 PM

Yeah theres alot good deals on the vendors site, but I need get the part soon has I can. I wasn't planning on doing of these upgrades any time soon, and its long weekend no ones is open.

swoope 05-28-2006 10:12 PM

Mazda Japan = Mazda USA's mother company

Do you think they have any right to ban your warranty ? its still made by Mazda (Rebranded, to be exact)

Oh well, it sounds like you dont really give a damn about the warranty anyway, so go with something else instead of overpriced (mostly) Mazdaspeed stuff.

Search is your friend

"Oh well, it sounds like you dont really give a damn about the warranty anyway, so go with something else instead of overpriced (mostly) Mazdaspeed stuff."

If I didn't care about warranty why would I waste my time asking these questions?

"Search is your friend"

I have been searching the forums for the last few days, soon has my clutch gave. But I couldn't find post on the clutchmaster, some of threads seem outdated, didn't answer my questions fully or I need clarification. I started this thread hoping someone , who know about these parts, could guide me to the right parts so I don't waste my money.
