im turboing really soon...just wondering....if i can just use my stock clutch for a little time before installing a stage 3 clutch....i have a stage 0 zpi but have all the components to make it upgraded to the stage 1; if i can use it, how long do you guys think i have before it completely gives out?

The stock clutch will give in for 3K miles when turboed... IT SUCKS DAMN BAD CHANGE IT ASAP! (actually change it before you turbo, since it might be harder to get into.)

I even made it go to normal state (which I hate) with only 1500miles on a totally stock engine it, so I changed to a competition sprung stage 4 clutch!

you make no sense man...

It all depends on how you drive. If you have under 300 WHP a stage 3 will do just fine. The stock clutch will eventually give out over time. I would add it to your to do list when you get a turbo. and its not going to be harder or easier to change when its turboed.

ive had the stage 0 for a few 1000 miles, still rollin the stock clutch. it slips alittle from time to time but still pulls hard. throwin a ZPI street clutch in it soon though

How do you make your clutch last 55K miles???

The stock clutch when broken in sucks so bad even without turbo... (It was only good to me when it was new)

yea mostly depends on how you drive, clutch wears easily if you always have aggressive engagement. Even without turbo if you're always stepping on it, aggressive driving your clutch wont last long..

davedave has 55K on his.. That's simple, take it easy when shifting, avoid clutch riding.. some lasts a lot longer.

Hey man, it really just depends on how u drive man. I have 90000 miles on my stock clutch with turbo and still doing fine. i have a street-strip act clutch and fidanza flywheel, but just waiting for my clutch to really give out. I am still pulling strong and scratching third gear. For those whose clutch gives out after 55000 miles, you must be riding your clutch pretty bad. it should be fine until you get your new clutch. trust me, im still pulling cars with my stock clutch man!

Id it's your daily driver, you may want to rethink going with a stage 3.

Stage 2 is plenty, and it's not gonna be a bi*ch to drive in the city, etc.

I changed my clutch to stage 4 at around 800-900 miles ODO.

It feels better than the OE clutch when it was new. and it always grips/bites perfectly... I can have an aggressive shift or smooth A/T like engages that is like 3X better than OEM. Although it feels like my buddy's old 85 Toyota truck off-road clutch. (It CAN hurt your legs on bad traffic jams)

depends on what clutch he gets. I have a clutchmaster stage3 and it feels ligher then stock and grabs inches from the ground. I hear clutchmaster stage4 is harder to drive but unless you are going over 340torque ...u wont need it.

bruceg

I just heard a lot of people complaining of stage 4 and even some stage 3 clutches being a bi*ch to drive around town.

There is no way they had the clutchmaster stage3 then. .... other stage 3's are a lot more rough. Looking at what their torque rating is is the best way to decide what you need.

bruceg

yeah, im not sure of what brand and all.

I forget which I was looking at but a few brands the stage1 was the same as the clutchmaster stage3. The only thing I cared about was how light the cluth was ....
