  • Clutch options?

    I have a 90' festiva with a Bp swap with my stock 5spd trans, everything works fenominaly together, My question is although I installed a new clutch with all the new found power it slips in most all gears, anyone have any ideas on clutch options without getting a custom one made, any company's make a stage 2 or 3 clutch, I like the long gear ratio of the stock festiva trans, I think im going to swap in a Egt trans later on but for now need something stronger, I really dunno the full potential of my swap cause I have to baby it as to not have the clutch slip, any help will be greatly appreciated, Thank yall very much.......

            Remember thou, with a good clutch your tiny stock trans is being put under alot more stress than previously so it's more likely to go bang.

              True^ at least it's not a 4 or 6 puck solid hub

              Ask Greg about that, he said it puts way too much shock on everything and it's true, that's when u break diff's and spider gears

                  * flows downhill. The weakest link. Found that out with my Mustang. Grabber clutch blew the stock trans the first time I hard shifted with sticky tires.

                    Right I know the stock trans will poop out soon, got to get a lil time and new trans first but until than im goin to try to bust it, so far I have no issues with it, (other than accesive slipping), gettin tired of all the torque steer to, Oh well new parts all in due time!!

                      I'm in the same boat, wanna upgrade my stock clutch that slips like no tomorrow in every gear. But I'm not sure if the Stage 1 is enough, or if I need to spend the extra 100 bucks for the stage 2. Really don't want to buy the stage 1 for it to just slip also. But don't want too overkill of a clutch on the stock trans.

                        Don't launch it and you will be fine. Mine was good after a month of racing (no launches) and slamming gears 24/7. Should last you a few months being somewhat nice to it.
