Timmy and I are at odds with the ACT clutch kits. We both have the same kit (AR1-HDSS), but we have opposite opinions of the kit. My kit has operated flawlessly throughout its life, while Timmy has had numerous clutch master cylinder failures. As a general rule, clutch master cylinders will make noise after a while (especially if you live in temperature-extreme regions of the country), but they will very rarely fail. You will want to stick with a full-faced organic sprung clutch. Anything over stage 1 should be out of the question unless you are planning a build in the near future. My personal recommendation would be a clutchmasters FX200 since it features a full faced carbon/kevlar backing material (better heat resistance / longer life), it's sprung (easy on the tranny), and it's got a near-stock pedal feel. I have not used the clutch myself, but would consider running one if I had the choice. I've previously recommended the use of the FX300 for Timmy's build, but he did not wish to change clutches when I put his motor in.

The two clutches I have been considering lately are the Clutchmasters FX300 clutch and the Competition Clutch 2100 Stage 2 clutch. Now, I am putting down more power, so that's the reason for the higher stages. I'm sure if you went with a lower stage with either brand, you should be fine.

Ok well im only planning on sticking to the boltons for now. Its gonna be awhile before I do a full build so I want something that is going close to stock but will hold up. Ive had my eye on the ACT kit but I really don't want to break anything by using it so I'll check out the other brands you guys have suggested. Thanks guys

Hey skip i just checked out the fx200. It says that its a stage 2 kit, but you said not to go for anything over a stage 1. just wondering if I should stick to the fx100 or if I'll be good with the fx200?

I understand the FX200 kit is a stage 2 and I should have clarified that in my notes earlier, I apologize. I would recommend that kit specifically even though it is a stage II because of the kevlar/organic backing material.
