Clutch Pedal Adjustment - a MUST after any clutch change. People that have lock out have not adjusted the clutch right.

exedy stage 2 cerametallic clutch. It's 4 puck so it's a ***** in traffic but you can get it for under 600 bucks and it grabs hard. I've got 100+ passes on it so far after 6K miles and it's just fine.

I'm in the same boat....car in garage with dead clutch and I'm on a limited budget. I was leaning towards the ACT HDSS with a lightened flywheel. Many positive reviews and feedback from EvoM ACT users.

I used to have the ACT street disc and HD pressure plate on my VIII and loved it. Many guys on hear use it and have had no problems.

Not sure if you are interested or not. But I have an Exedy Twin disk with less than 1200 miles on it and zero launches. I purchased it from CRBD (it was in his personal evo). Here is the thread:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=307825

I have decided not to upgrade and would like to sell. $1000 shipped via fedex. The Twin Disk is the clutch to have.
