ebay clutch works awesome. It was only $160 shipped, xtd clutch 6 puck , stage 3.. I dont think its an actual stage 3, probly feels like a stage 2.. grabs hard. after I installed it, I did a drift event the next day. I think its this clutch and welded combo making me break diff mounts and stubshafts

 

Yeah. Not only that but you're putting down some power now. The s4 na diff is TINY compared to a t2 diff. Also, consider how much tire you're stuffing under there now and DRIVING daily. Those TINY n/a stubshafts are going to keep shitting the bed on you. Not like all the time but enough to the point where it would be annoying.

Get a t2 diff and run a solid mount. I mean, if you were really hard up you could run throughbolts and a chunk of nylon cutting board as a diff mount.



XTD eh? Yeah. I'm going to look into one of those.

Hi five for being a cheap ***!

 

YES BEING A CHEAP ***

replacing parts all the time is so worth buying crappy parts lol














wait...wat

 

put a TII rear end in, get a 2-way or 1.5, be done with it, spend big money now and never worry about it again. instead of getting aero, gt wing and ish you could've had a legit 2 way. not talking crap or anything but just get it over with so you can spend less down time replacing cheap parts and spend more time driving it (daily or track) and not have to worry

 

yes you guys are right. Its just I have so many na diffs lying around.. lol ppl junk these na diffs, and I see em as treasure.. so they are pretty much free..
I guess when I get a job and IRS debt free, Ill get a llegit kazz or shimmed s4 clutch diff..

 

I didn't bother reading through this whole thread, so I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but... instead of grinding the holes on the driveshaft flange. You can just put the t2 diff flange in the n/a diff. That's what I did. Way less sketchy.

 

i just wished that if only the t2 stub shafts fit into the NA diff. It would solve the problem of snapping the halfshaft/stub shafts.

/\ good point larmiejoe

 

CJ, we buy what we can afford. If it works for a good while, fine.

I'm not making anywhere near the power dk is so my setup in theory should work fine.

DK, it would be nice. That's for sure. I mean if you could just swap those spider gears out for t2 gears that would fix the problem. There's a way to do it but i think that's more trouble than it's worth.

Maybe you could get a set of n/a stub shafts heat/cryo treated?


Spare usuable **** is the ****. Plus, not everyone is "pro status" and not everyone has the downtime to let their car sit while saving for "pro status" parts.

Make it work. Rx7, supra, honda and mitsubishi owners are so **** about **** like that. "it's gotta be done right AND expensive to work"

How many miles on your "oh noes ebay!" clutch?

 

almost 3k now lol . still bites strong. Been trying to teach my gf how to drive stick shift lol. fuuckkk she makes the whole car turn intoa earthquake. lol But i told her once she can drive this , she can drive anythin lol

 

well considering that's 3k of dd and beating the **** out of it it's good enough for me to warrant spending $160 on one.

Hows street driving with it. I mean do you chirp your **** every time you take off at a red light? I'll run this past my buddy jakob. He's running a six puck in his fc t2.

 

i have a six puck with a extreme pressure plate, once you learn how to drive it you'll never chirp on take off's, my clutch has about 1/2 an inch of engagement time and i can ride it no problem, everyone else who drives my car either stalls or jerks the **** out of it, you'll learn it eventually where you dont even notice it

 

I guess I like having nice parts so i dont have to worry "will my clutch die today?"

Will I break my diff.

Whatevers whatever though. As long as fools are driving!

 

I got used to it cuz the day after I was in bumper to bumper traffic in my fc for 2hours...build that leg muscle.

 

Not worried about pedal pressure, the more the merrier. I hate "light" feeling clutches. I wonder if our slave cylinders have a fluid restrictor?

CJ, i'm stock n/a. I dont think i'm worried about popping my diff or killing a clutch. AAA is a phone call away if something does break though.

 

sigh.... broke ANOTHER stub shaft in half today. It just snapped in the straight away when i shifted to second... I think when Samuel hubinette did the burnouts I did a small one and it fucked up my stub shaft.. oh well..car is making more power than before just from the striaght pipe alone..
good thing my house is only 40 miles away, so i drove home with one wheel drive again on the freewway. was too lazy to swap out my exhaust to the quiet one, so just drove home straight pipe and it was awesome.

yeah . time for a t2 diff...

 

we should have an "I Told You So" button


lol jk




kinda



but not really

 

Damn dk.....

Lol.

 

lol that welded diff was still a virgin. it broke from a silly standstill burnout -_- the diff is still good just the damn stubshaft broke again. yeah. damn straight pipe made the car get that much more power

 

okay u win

 

Well, you should be able to find a diff suited to your power for around $100 bux. Shim the **** out of it. MEASURE BREAK AWAY TORQUE BEFOER YOU PUT THAT **** IN THE CASE or you'll be pissed to find out lockup isn't what you hoped it would be.

 

sigh the other half of the stub shaft is still inside the diff. Im waiting for my friend to comeover with his welder. I plan on welding along screw to the face of the broken piece of stub and slide hammer that bitch out and then just swap another stubshaft in. **** it , il just run like this until I can get my hands on a t2 clutch lsd.

 

stupid stiff clutches for the sake of have a stiff pedal is the dumbest **** ever

act **** sucks



i get custom kevlar/copper clutches locally handbuilt.

for less than that stupid act ****.

 

i dont think its the straight pipe that gave it enough power to break that stubshaft, its the fact that you may have gotten lucky with your other stubshaft, but this one was just weaker. in the end they were both gonna fail sooner or later

 

got n exedy hookup now. oe style but new n cheep. gottalove knowing ppl that know ppl

 

well that damn broken piece of stubshaft is stuckj in there for good. I ended up removing the whole rear subframe. took apart the diff and reused my old and first welded diff. shimmed it, and then sealed it up.. the BITCH PART WAS PUTTING the damn subframe back in BYMYSELF. got it in finally, the subframe fell on my finger a few times, Inever said **** so many times in one day..it hurt s like a bitch and was bleeeding all over my tools. **** it its done now.. At least ican drive around now, and hopefully i can get a t2 setuup soonn so Ican hit the track next thursday.. There might be d1 undergound qualifiers...must get this pos fc ready!!! some reason my clutch is falling onto the floor, the pedal is soft, and i bleed it so many times, and its not helping. I think my clutch slave cylinder is bad.
