Hey guys,

My clutch has gone on me so need to replace it.
I have started gathering parts for a 5sfte build so going to be doing that soon.
What stage clutch will i need to get to handle around 250whp? or will a stock clutch be able to do that?
What are the clutches that most people use in their 5sfte's?

Thanks,

Reece

Also, i've dont countless hours of reading about light weight flywheels. From what i can gather for general street use they make driving more of a chore trying to get the shifts fast and smooth and as i spend quite a bit of time in traffic dont think its the best option. Also ive heard you cant really notice the difference unless your drag racing where you may run 1-2 tenths quicker. So thats my current view, feel free to try and change it lol.
(But in more interested in getting the right clutch)

actually I love my Lightweight flywheel in traffic. I feel I get smoother 'launches' with it. maybe if you know someone with one you can ask to try it out.

I think physical research is going to give you what you need to know. like for instance, Smaay said Southbend clutches are good, and I say they are crap. its all relative to you. you need to see what you like.

Good Luck, I hope you find what you are looking for.
