which clutch is better?

[1988festivazoom]

On a B6? How? B6 stock puts down alittle more then the b3 stock and you blew out 2 trannies? I dont know but my festy tranny is in the shed waiting to be planted back into a stock festy that has a 4 speed and i have never had any problems out of it even with a B8. My brother can vouch for that as he was the one that helped do the build. I guess maybe since mine is a low milage tranny it hold fine for now. I dont doubt what you say it just seems odd that a stock b6 would kill out 2 trannies like that.

I do a lot of clutch drops and run sticky 195-60-14 tires, the hard daily driving and daily rev limiter hit and redline quick shifting is not to good on a tranny. I currently have my 3rd tranny (aspire) and its only been in for about a year (less than 5,000 miles) and it has a bad whine from the final drive above 30 mph so its on its way out.... and the exedy clutch has lasted through all of the abuse.

Funny how the clutch lasts but the trannies wont.

oh okay. the clutch i have right now that i boug\ht 2 years ago was called dynapack pretty sure was heap kind. also when i do my clutch change im going to change the flywheel because i didint change that and was waisted i wonder about how it is now. what other trannies will bolt up to the b3? that are better?

Well DUH dude if you put a new clutch on a toasted flywheel youre gonna have a toasted clutch in no time.

No point in swapping an F or G series on a B3 period. You could/should swap in an auto though!

[1993 festiva]

yea i know, just wondering will they bolt right in to the b3? yes or no? or at least to the b6 longblock

...No point in swapping an F or G series on a B3 period.

You must be forgetting that this is no ordinary b3. He definitely needs to get a racing clutch/flywheel to match his go fast bits. I mean, would you ever put a stock clutch knowing that you are running a BP ECU?

[1988festivazoom]

If your planning on doing a b6 in the future and running it hard then just get a f series and a clutch for the f series so u don't windup spending more money on a new clutch bc they are a different size. The g series is kind overkill for a b6 if its gunna be n/a.

[1993 festiva]

is the f series tranny a bolt in for the b6 long block or is there any welding i have to do? and perucho fyi i aint running the ecu atm . just have the injectors from a b8 thats about it. i am thinking of a b6 swap atm but cant say anything here cause all i get is critizism..

The F series will require custom mounts.

I'm going to recommend the Exedy clutch too. I'm running one and love it. No slip, even after about 20,000 miles and I beat my car. The clutch should be fine behind a B6 too (I'm hoping that it's fine behind a B8ME).

Definitely resurface the flywheel while you have everything apart.

oh ok thanks . because my plans where to turbo the b3. but right now leaning into justputting a b6 longblock, new clutch new flywheel, fms racing camshaft, 255lph fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, some headers, fuel exhaust system at least 2inch. my question was also will getting the fms racing cams fit the festiva with the b6 longblock? also the headers?

[91_festy_Gl]

The b8 and bp are a easier swap then the b6 engine wise and wiring. Tranny may be more difficult though. The F series wasnt that bad on mounts. We used a awd mount and the cut bottom and flipped it around and welded it back. We used a protege side tranny mount. the only mount i dont have on mine is the rear but as far as I can tell there isnt any engine rockin at all. Even have the hydrolic setup from pedal to tranny. No adapters.

Just get a Motec system exhaust.

hows the car running. because im getting a big check from around 1500 this month, so planning to waist about 1300 on the car or less idc, i was leaning on the b8 but i want the bp but they are very hard to find around here. because im planning to go to the wisconsin races. so trying to get the car done soon. my uncle is taking his toyota corolla 1.8 turbo i know i wont be close to him but i wanna go fast also. i heard the b6 was easier swap. but i guess not. still looking for a motor which gives 110+ hp, the bp will be my choice but looks hard to find one here in chicago.. for cheap.

[91_festy_Gl]

my car runs great. has a bit of hesitation when stomped but I think thats because of the low compression block. That will all change this summer maybe, other then that its faster than any other hatch back I have seen around. Fox bodies laugh there butts off when they see a festy smoking the tires off. hatch back civics wont touch it.

Funny. Seems like everybody has different results. My oem clutch had 190,000 miles of pretty agressive driving on it when I changed to my b6 without a hint of a slip. I put a brand new exedy in with it and it was great for about 6 mo. and started slipping horribly. when I put my bp in I put a new sachs clutch in and again after about 6 months it started slipping. At least it only slips during hard acceleration after the 1 to 2 shift. No problem in normal driving like the exedy did. Heck I couldnt even pass somebody on the freeway. It slipped to bad. By aggressive driving I mean pushing the engine to the hilt but no clutch dumping or slam shifting. My stock tranny now has 250,000 miles on it and is holding up strong so far. (crosses fingers).
