WJM Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 So i gotta guy locally that builds clutches and such...he's got a "stage 2" and "stage 3" setup avalible... 2 gives you up to 225 hp holding, thats about 40% increase. 3 gives you up to 280 hp holding...thats about 75% increase. kit includes throwout bearing, clutch disc and presure plate. i can get you guys the stage 2 for about $200, and the 3 for $225. the discs are relined with kevelar for stage 2, 3 gives you a little ceremic content. All are sprung hub, and very streetable...the stage 3 does need a little care in engagement from what he told me. I think Im going to get a stage 2 here in a few days...

Myxalplyx Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 ...the stage 3 does need a little care in engagement from what he told me. Will, What do you mean by 'the stage 3 does need a little care in engagement'? I'm not real familiar with manual trannies and such. If 'care' is not taken (I'm thinking you mean how smoothly you shift), what could I expect to happen? Also, what about availability? If $$$ is given up now, when are the first batches expected to be done? You know how it is with new stuff being made from scratch. Thanks!

WJM Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 stage 2 is avalible NOW. he is out of the stage 3 stuff...if ordered now, can be ready thursday. there is NO min buy in. as for care of engagement...its more grabby than the stage stock and stage 2....so, just alittle more care in engaging, but shifting should not be any different.

calebz Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Not bad.. I think I paid $170 for a stock clutch kit. $200 for a kit with 40% more holding power is very acceptable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppie62 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I recently bought a remanufactured RX stock clutch kit, off E-bay from a co. in Arizona for around $85. The turbo 4x4 clutch wasn't listed at first, then I emailed him and he posted what I wanted. But he wasn't interested in making it stiffer etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 the stock 4WD EA82 clutch we have in stock goes for about $151...my cost that is...list is something like $200 or so. So this deal=VERY great if it delivers what it promises. We will find out, as I am picking it up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Does he have the ER-27 5-speed type clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Does he have the ER-27 5-speed type clutch? believe it or not, its the SAME clutch as the EA82 4WD stuff. I got an XT6 set to use in my wagon once...and it was identical in every way to the stock RX or other 4WD EA82 set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
