Supra_Scott Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Right guys, after over four years of use/abuse, my Eaton 6 puck paddle clutch has started to slip. I am currently running a NA-T setup with 374BHP and 298LB/FT torque at the crank with the factory W58 manual box. I need a replacement clutch that will hopefully take a bit more power. I have had a look at the Spec stage 3+ clutch or possibly the Spec stage 5, but am yet to hear from anyone who has actually got one installed. The car is not used for commuting etc, just purely for a good Sunday morning blast down the B roads. What are people running, engine spec/clutch, and how are you getting on? My budget will not stretch to a V160/1 or R154 swap at this time. Open to suggestions from other 'Tried and Tested' clutch setups.

Style Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Chris Wilson may offer something to suit your needs. I'm running a 6spd uprated one from him in prep for going NA-T. Been great so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 alot of guys run competition clutches but the sprung ones tend to be very harsh and unable to slip. I would look at what Chris has, failing that go to Whifbitz. I have a comp clutch stage 4 in my six speed but as i havent driven it yet i cant give feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Competition stage 4. Lighter than my na clutch was and so far quite nice. Not had a lot of miles on it but not a world away from stock. Can even pull off in 1st and reverse just on the clutch if you so wish to...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Scott Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Where did you get the competition stage 4 clutches from, and what torque/power will they take? Paul only deals with the Spec clutches now, but no feedback as to how they drive. I'll drop Mr Wilson a post to see what he has too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Got it from someone on here. But it was direct from competition clutches I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Bazz Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Got a stage 3 from Callaway Motorsport fitted with NA-T future in mind. Some light chatter in first gear (might be from the combination with the lightweight flywheel) but it feels better than my previous clutch (ACT). Very street driveable as it isn't a six puck.
