Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Transaxle Need a new Clutch

Hey guys. New to the group but have been reading the forums for a while. I am about to replace my tranny, and I am going to do the clutch and flywheel while everything is out.

I am going with the fidanza flywheel, but with the spec clutches I was wondering if anyone had any feed back from the six puck stag four. Because I want more performance then stage one, I agree that kevlar lining sucks (stage II), and I don't want the chattery engagement of stage three. I am going to be using the car for autocross and racing at road tracks. Any suggestions.

Stage IV should be a "harsher" clutch as it is made for racing applications. If you are using if for strictly racing, why not get a full ceramic clutch?

From the description on the website the stage IV clutch is still streetable, which I want because I will still be driving this car on the street. I will only be racing occasionally. To clarify my question I am wondering if the engagement is to harsh for the street, also if the engagment is chattery on the six puck clutch? Thanks.

More pucks, more chatter from what I hear.

Get the stage 1 cluch.

It will hold even the turbo 3L's torque, at least in the 300-350 HP range and it will be the most streetable. Smooth engagement, lots of grip.

I have the stage 3 and it is a 4 puck clutch. I don't have much chatter now that it is broke in. It is still very streetable, but it has some serious grip! Neck snapping grip if you let it out fast.
In fact, the hotter it gets the more grippy it becomes. As someone said, it is very smooth when the clutch is cold; it feels like a normal sporty clutch until it warms up a bit.
