i haveseen nothing but problems with clutchnet clutches. I wont ever use a stock disk again either unless its just for a daily driver.

But only clutch that has ever been in my car has been my act extreem pp with a 4 puck unsprung that i bought used from a guy that put 30k miles on it in his race car and it was still in good condition. Disk was a little worn but i used it for another 15k miles of hard hard abuse then it was getting close to the rivets so i opted to change the disk, I went with an act 6 puck sprung although i tried to get the unsprung cuz i like the feel of those over the sprung disks. But they had the sprung in stock and i needed it quick. So i went with that and still have had no problems with the disk at all. The pp has alot of wear on it now to the point where im probably gonna change it out soon. But it still grips just fine but i know im gonna need that extra holding power with my next setup. So yeah act for the win.

I got so fed up with aftermarket clutches I installed a stock one in my turbo p11.

Sure I know it's going to slip when I get on it. But at least I don't have that fear that it's going to at any moment blow up in my tranny.

If I was to do it again I would get an Exedy HD PP and stock clips, TOB, and clutch disc. I'm mild turbo though. My first clutch that broke was the exedy but the PP was top notch quality. The TOB and disc both broke. I should have reused that PP. Wasn't thinking clearly.

I have pulled out many a clutchnet clutch that looked like that. I never install them even if you bring them as no one is going to blame me for clutchnets crappy workmanship


I love both of the ACT and JWT (Clutch Masters) clutches I have owned. I only replaced the ACT HDSS because I was doing a motor swap and I figured I'd upgrade while I was in there. The JWT Clutch is a stage four. It holds over 325wtq IIRC, and it's as smooth and soft as a stock clutch. It's really awesome. I sold that car, but I just bought another JWT stage four clutch for my new car.

Here is the JWT version:

Jim Wolf Technology website

It says it is "NO LONGER AVAILABLE," but you can probably still get them from CM.

OK now check out the Clutchnet VS the ACT Six Puck Unsprung! Wow!







Notice any Differences? Also notice that the ACT IS Certified! The Clutchnet Disk had no information on it at all telling me that they are inferior to the ACT! Wow. Looking at this ill never buy a clutchnet EVER again when the quality is that much more noticeable from the ACT on such a simple Disk!

yep, i wont use any other clutch. my buddy has a jwt pp with a street/strip disk and it is pretty smooth engagement, pedal feel is a little hard but so far its held his turbo setup for 10k miles of hard abuse no problems
