Help :(

[Zinker]

I have an 03 Terminator with

stiegeire stage 4 ported and rebuild, 2.76 upper and all bullit idlers, single blade Accu-fab TB, , TR6 plugs gaped at 36, SCT tuner tuned by ADC, two pod gages wide band and boost, 3.73 gears bullit flow cover brace full polly bushings in the IRS battery relocated to the trunk, rear strut tower brace (set up for coilovers) front strut tower brace, kenny brown subframe conecters short throw shifter, bassai X pipe and cat back BX, H&R SS springs, MM caster camber plates, AFCO pro heat exchanger, cold air intake, brake ducts.

The car has a STOCK CLUTCH.

I think it went out yesterday, i went to 3rd and pressed down kinda hard, and it slips and goes to 6rpm pretty fast.

What clutch should i get and how much do they run?

waiting for jeff (burntire) to chime in, i think hes had a lot of practice picking clutches lol

Well, Im not suprised it went out, mine didnt last long either. I have a spec 3+ and it was a pain in the ass to drive for the first 500 miles. I like it now. Im sure you will get some guys liking others......parts cost with new fly wheel was close to 1k if I remember. dont forget to get an adjustable quadrant and firewall adjuster. Also upgrade your input shaft.

gonna have to go with wickedcobra on this one. i have a spec stage 3+, have had it since i bought the car. and that was well over 100 passes at the track ago. and i launch fairly hard on slicks all the time. its held up well!

[BurnTire]

If you have the cash. Zoom D2 Twin Disc.

[El Jefe]

Hopefully I last longer that most...Hows the pedal feel on the Stage 3+ compared to stock?

[Zinker]

Whats better this one? Zoom D2 Twin Disc or the one Wicked Cobras Got? I want a good one, were i can put 18psi + Nitrous

Everyone is going to think Im drinking but the stock clutch is the way to go for me. I hate aftermarket clutches. I have had to many fail and I hate the way they feel. I recently went back to a stock clutch and love it. You would think after spending a grand you would actually get something.

[Zinker]

Alright, but which is better mate?

Hell, if you're not careful I wouldn't worry about needing a new clutch, I'd be more worried about needing a new car...just saying. Already street racing the thing isn't the brightest idea given you are what, 16? Now we are already talking abut 18+psi and Nitrous? Damn...

Anyways, to answer your question, with that radical of a setup I'd personally spend the money for a Zoom twin disk as BurnTire has already suggested.

Twin disc has two clutch disks good to 900+ horsepower. No chatter with stock like manners.

Spec 3+ is a single disk that has a little more aggressive engagment (chatter), but will also hold the power you want to make.

Stock Clutch. LOL

You must drive the car like a Conservative.:hyper:

[wickedcobra]

The clutch pedal on the spec3+ is actually nice and soft. The engagement is a bit rough but is not very noticable at all. Its like a switch....on or off.

[Zinker]

I went with a centerforce :p

[soap]

If it were me I would put in an aftermarket clutch........but I am not sure if you need to spend $1000 on a twin disk to support an Eaton and sauce. I have a Spec 3+ and really like it....so much that I might buy another one if/when mine wears out. Although I should try out a Zoom since my buddy works for D&D and can get me a pretty good deal.

With that being said, last summer we replaced my friends 35,000 mile OEM clutch with my 5,000 used OEM clutch. He is running 10.5's @ 130 (1.4 short times) with an Eaton......stock long block, no nitrous. So to say the OEM clutch will not hold when used with slicks is total garbage.

sonic, im also 9TMARE

[tlrdynes]

I put a Ram Twin Disc in mine, replaced a broken Spec Stage 3. If you have the money for a twin disc it will be the last clutch you will ever want. Pedal feel is easy but it will hold 900hp. Engagement is very smooth with no chatter because one of the discs has a marcel while the other one is a solid disc. If you don't have the money for a twin disc, I've heard great things about the Spec Stage 3+, which is very different than the Stage 3, don't get the Stage 3.

[AZSonicSnake]

roger that on the stage 3, was told that steve put a few of those in my car before spec got it right and shipped him the 3+. its been in the car since i got it, and its seen its share of abuse. honestly, with how its held up, i will probably just get the same thing when it needs replaced.

rofl im not going near that kind of specs, i would need so much new stuff, cost to much. I might go with nitrous though, a 550$ kit. But not 18psi :

hey zinker is jr finaly got a new cluch how dose it drive now ??


oh jeff zinker bought my car

[AZSaleen04]

I went with a McCloud Twin Disc and I love it. Very soft pedal feel.

[SMOKE]

Spec 3+ in my car. Holds up great, and very little chatter after the 500 mile break in period.
