Higher Performance Clutch Choices

[Maxx Mazda]

I have a SPEC 3+ and I love it. Holds upwards of 400HP on my car at 30+psi. It is a little grabby in traffic, but there's no such thing as a "race clutch you can use everyday." If you want it softer, get the 2+. It won't hold as much, but it's a little more streetable. I had it before my 3+, and no complaints either. Make sure you get the + version of whatever SPEC you choose, the straight ones might hold more, but are a much harsher engagement.

Thought I'd update, after a few thousand KM's, the 3+ doesnt seem to be up to the task anymore. Anytime I launch in 2nd gear (which I need to do if I want any sort of traction) it just slips and won't grab. Its clear I need something a little stronger. I'm gonna try another brand this time, sell the whole SPEC setup I have, and go with a Fidanza flywheel and an ACT, Bully, or CM clutch. Havent decided yet.

Well i have said this millions of Times, SPEC is s***, you want something that will last and hold what ever you trow at them Get what i had just for the simple reason of holding what i had and lasting me til today


ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate and Street Performance Disk or 6 Puck Racing Clutch i'm currently using that combo and i can tell you theres nothing better than ACT, now is up to you to go with what ever brand you want Spec is not simply good for high HP Engines at least in our cars...

Can you launch with anti-lag in 2nd gear at 5,000 RPM? That's probably more abuse than anyone could ever throw at a Protege clutch. That's what I need. I don't know if ACT will cut it for me.

I dont simply because i have asked you millions of time on how to activate it and ive never got a how to do it from you, but anyway I bet money if you put the ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate and 6 Puck Sprung racing clutch it will how what ever you trow at it and it will last you more than what you ever think You can trust me on this..

That's extreme on the car itself. At that point the clutch may be the least of your worries.
