New Clutch Finished Options

[jdg371]

I have a 97 ST that badly needs a new clutch set.
I would like something similar to stock, but a something a little bit stronger.
So what kinda of clutch set do you guys have in your ST and how different are they from stock.

i just recently replaced my stock clutch with a centerforce 90% over clutch. it has stocklike pedal feel. centerforce also makes a 30% and a 60%. they can acheive high percent over stock hold from centerfugal weights placed on the pressure plate, they are also made in dual friction. meaning there is two types of friction material on different sides of the clutch plate. My 90% has semimetalic material on one side, and kevlar on the other. also i have read that exedy makes clutches for celica's. didnt researched too hard into them.

another thing to remember when replacing a clutch you will want to replace the rear main seal while you are down there. they only cost a few bucks, and it is worth it. good luck if you are doing it yourself.

well i had a Honda ASC certified technition help me, and well we even had a little trouble. and you will have trouble with the rear tranny mount, my suggestion is to hit it with some PB Blaster catalist, and use an air wrachet to get it. and there is 2 aligning pins in the bell houseing, mine were rusted/corroded, and made it hard for the tranny to fall off of the engine. what type of tranny fluid are you going to use? i used Royal Purple. $10.30 a Qt.
