How can you tell if a car has an aftermarket stage # CLUTCH, would the pedal feel different or would it still feel the same..I have a 97 integra ls,and IM not sure if it has an aftermarket or stock clutch. is the only way to find out is to remove the Trans. casing and check it out....what u guys think thanks? and oh yeah if i do find out that I still have stock which one would you prefer XTD or Gripforce F1

 

XTD and Gripforce are both ebay brand clutches, dont get either one. I put a gripforce clutch in my stock sohc just to get me by and hated it. my friend has a XTD in his ITR and the clutch is shit already and only has about 3000 miles on it. If your gonna get a clutch, spend the money and get a decent clutch.

 

the thing is Im not sure if mione stills tock or aftermarket..cause when i bought it the guy is about to boost it and I forgot to ask him about the clutch, cause i didnt think i was gonna go boost back then

 

Your friend doesnt know how to drive then. I put an XTD clutch in the weekend I got my Integra(year and a couple of months ago) and to my knowledge its still running the same clutch.

 

Kc has a gripforce clutch in his hatch now and it hasnt crap out yet..i justr dont want to buy one and then find out I have aftermarket clutch on it already..is their a way to find out or do i have to actually take the trans. casing off and see for myself

 

so u havent had any problems so far or anything..cause im bout ot boost my car and i need clutch asap..i just want ot get peoples opinions first

 

Its the same with anything you buy for your car. It will take care of you if you take care of it. I had the XTD clutch on my LS-T setup and I broke it in properly and changed the tranny fluid regularly and the clutch gave me no problems. I later upgraded to a LS/VTEC setup putting down between 285-300whp and launched numerous times on slicks at the track and it still gave me no problems.

 

I ma go look up XTD clutches for my ls-t setup as well, maybe a stage 3 with 6 puck .....does your pedal feel stiff or still have the stock kinda feel to it

 

It still had the stock feel to it.

 

cool Im gonna look into the XTD where did u buy urs
