hello,

my oem clutch began to die (slip and bearing noise), so i am planning to buy an aftermarket clutch, and i beleive its wiser than buying a new one from the dealer.. so i thought why i dont buy myself a flywheel also !

anyways i have the following options:

1. JUN clutch + Fidanza flywheel

2. JUN clutch + JUN flywheel

3. Fidanza clutch + Fidanza flyhweel

i am leaning towards the first option much more.. but i am afraid that the combination might not fit or give me trouble.. my question is should i go for the first option?? i wont get issues?? or should i just go for the others? and which one 2 or 3 is better?

thanks...

im running the TRD clutch and Clutchmasters flywheel. Very good combo in my eyes.. Held up to the turbo and the supercharger...

i actually i just put in a clutch flywheel combo myself with a friend. i have three different parts in mine that work realy well.. and only reason why is becuase of the money isues i also have pics of weight of stock set up vs my setup... which will be coming soon... anyways my setup is fidanza flywheel (8 lb) vs 14 lb factory. with stock clutch disk ( fairly new ) with a spec stage 3 pressure plate... factory setup weights in at 27lbs... aftermarket weights in at 18lbs... thats 9lbs off rotational mass... clutch feels good and grabs quick with no chatter... PICS COMING SOON

if i had to do it again i would go with option 3 fidanza is a good name and reliable go with both flywheel and clutch... what other upgrades do you have on your ist if you dont have turbo or supercharger i would not recomend going higher then a stage 3 clutch actually i would go stage 2 cause my stage 3 with a 6 puck clutch disc had harsh engagement and clutch chatter when in neutral...

my xa is pretty stock.. only k&n drop-in intake filter.. and original voltage stabalizer..

i am not going for high performance.. i just believe that instead of buying an expensive clutch from the dealer i should buy an aftermarket one that would be more realiable, fun to drive, and give me little bit of that performance

i am using TRD Clutch w/ Factory fly, 9psi & Nitrous w/ s/c, only time i have problems is when spraying, doesnt slip but emits a loud groan!

My box is running on a Fidanza Flywheel with a Fidanza 4.3 clutch kit and a KAAZ LSD. All work together very well. Clutch pedal feel with the 4.3 is about 3 times harder than that of stock.

so, my xa doesnt have any mods and i have no plans to mod it in future, should i save money and just go for an aftermarket clutch without getting a flywheel?

welll i be fine?
