ClutchMaster and Flywheel

Hi everybody. I just install my new mod ClutchMasters and flywheel. Performance Stage 4. I am very happy with the product. The car pull very hard. Seem like im gaining 15 HP. My RPM meter went very fast. Now Im getting ready to get a turbo soon. I just want to let you guy know ClutchMasters is very awsome!

Stage 4?! Isn't that a bit overkill?

Hi everybody. thanks for the respond. My paddle seem to be soft. Not too hard.
I kept stalling because I'm not use to the new clutch power. on my first gear when I take off my foot from the clutch is started to rattle . My old oem clutch was easy never stalling because it was slippery. No I don't have 500 hp i wish. but my clutchmasters stage 4 hold up to 600 hp. When driving on the street, shifting gear was fun. Driving on the freeway was exciting. I love my HKS legamax exhaust sorry guy not for sell

Yes is true. the car jerk alots when you first install it. After you drive your car for 100 mile. While adjusting the flywheel and the clutch. YOu will be back to normal driving without jerking

if your clutch peddle is ratting its probably about to break off. talk to charles r. hill for a clutch peddle reinforcement or what can be done about it.

Sort of. Anything past stage 3 is pretty much for racing applications... at that point it's not so much a clutch.. it's more like an on and off switch.. your engaged or your not.. so it's a bit more difficult to catch i guess (hense the stall).

I've got a Clutchmasters stage 3 installed on my tib with a Fidanza flywheel and it's actually lighter then the stock one... so much so that the mechanic that I had install it had to contact CM to ensure that everything was alright. Anyways.. you can't go wrong with CM.

Uhhhh... 30 minutes?! So you didn't even manage to get it through the breakin phase? I've heard of this happening once or twice, but normally CM will replace the clutch pretty much right away if it wasn't misinstalled.....

meh.. depends on who you ask. Everyone has their own opinion. If you're asking me I'd say Clutchmaster's is a good brand.

Just as an FYI.. Hyundia is thinking about offering a tubro upgrade for Tib's at their dealerships... a part of this is upgrade will be swapping out the stock clutch for a clutchmasters (or at least that's what's in their test cars right now). They've done a fair bit of research into this to ensure that a warrantee can still be offered on the car... so... yeah.. clutchmasters doesn't suck :D

ACT is alright from what I've heard as well... though I'm less farmilar with them.
