Help Me Decide About My Clutch Choice
have a question about a clutch my trans went out recently and i was going to replace the clutck while it was ou and i found a stage two and three clutch for the same amount as a stock clutch would it be resonable to just go ahead and buy the stage three or a stage two for a longer life span and a little less slip or should i buy the stock clutch for the car. Mind you i have no work done to the car it has the stock f 22 and just a cool air intake on the car

For a stock car or even one with minor mods, an exedy oe replacement will do good. Make sure and buy a new throwout bearing also while you're at it. Oem preferably.

For "stock" and up to 200hp there is NO advantage to stage 2-3Take that freek show to the park, maybe the squirrels will care.

people generally over compensate clutches, if you make 150whp-200whp get a good carbon/kevlar disc with a slightly heavier pressure plate. like mentioned a exedy oem replacement or even a stage1 if you like more bite. you don't need a 6 puck stage 3 and yes the best release bearing is an oem prelude one.Comment

Chances are that those "stage 2" and "stage 3" clutches you found are garbage. Let me guess... XTD or F1 on ebay, right?
If you're not making more than 180whp, a stock clutch is just fine. Exedy is the brand to get. A "better" clutch with stock power will only result in harsher driving and accelerated wear.

yeah there is no point on a stock setup. I had a fidanza lightweight flywheel and an M5 clutch on my old 318i and blew the rear-end out of it grabbing gears. Having too good of a clutch breaks crap.Comment

So wat if i have plans for building up my f22? Wat type of clutch shuld i put in there? Ive been debating this choice for awhile now.But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with meComment

Exedy Stage 1 will be plenty for now until you actually start making power. People run those with h22a's with minor bolt ons.

Built as in...
I mean built as in 9.1 compression ratio, Milled head, Port and Polish Job, 3 Angle Valve Job, and Possibly a DOHC Head Swap. Maybe.... still a lil unsure of that last one. I hope to try and at least make 180 hp if possible.But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with meComment

If you really want a "stage 1" go for it.
