I have everything in my sig and I just got my steeda tri ax. I was ripping threw the gears and after just a couple of little shifts it is smelling hot. I want a better on, it is stock and just doesn't like to bite. I don't want the Ford Heavy Duty or Super Heavy Duty because I have heard alot about those.

Anybody know what my car would benefit from? I plan on getting gears, cam, mass air, injectors and some small things.... These are the ones I was thinking about

Spec
Centerforce
Zoom
Ram

Anybody have any expierence with these?

A like Ram a lot for their price and reliability. Spec is a decent company and their more top-of-the-line clutches are a lot better than their lesser ones. Centerforce in my opinion are overpriced for what most of them are and zoom I don't know anyone that has had one.

nothing worse than the smell of a burnt clutch ah? i put a centerforce clutch in mine and never had any probs yet. yes centerforce is expensive but this is what i did. i took off my clutch and pressure plate. threw the clutch away and kept the pressure plate. the pressure plate was still in pretty good condition so i reused it with my centerforce clutch, and it works perfect. its a good way to save 200 dollars or so if the old pressure plater is still good
