reusing a used spec stage 3
#11
no i was wondering if it was still okay to sell the TOB with the disk and pressure plate. but yeah, i want to replace my clutch, im just not sure what to replace it with. does anyone have anything good to say about the fidanza 1.0 clutch? idk, im not too excited to spend too much money. on americanmuscle.com they sell the fidanza for $180 and they spec stage 1 for $270. theyre both a complete kit. pressure plate, disk, TOB, pilot bearing and tool. you know that saying, "you get what you pay for". i dont want to get the cheap fidanza and find out that its just garbage. so has anyone used a fidanza before, and enjoyed it or hated it? and what else are good clutches you guys can recommend? please help! thanks.

fidanza is good i dont have any personal experience with them but i havnt ever heard bad things about them. and this is just my thoughts but if american muscle is selling them you can be pretty sure its good cause they wouldnt wanna be selling crap. and yes you can sell the throwout bearing with the clutch. thre would be no reason for whoever buys it to spend $60 (i looked at autozone) on a new one. i would actually not take out the pilot bearing though. I've pulled my tranny 2 times and both times destroyed the pilot bearing trying to get it out so just leave it in there and give the preson you sell your clutch to the new one.

when i was ordereing mine i asked about the fidanza, they said it was comparable to the spec stage 1 but was more strip applicable. and not to street friendly, i have never used the clutch but thats what AM had told me. as for the pilot bearing, becareful you dont have a bushing in there, the shop that did my clutch before i really knew anything about cars put in a pilot bushing, which was hell to get out, so if you have a bronze bushin in there pull it out and put the bearing in there

yeah, i figured the pilot would be a pain thats why i didnt include it to what i was going selling. well what do you think of a flywheel? steel vs. cast iron? anything diffrent? i know that the weight will be a little less with the steel. how bout the rotational mass? will it affect freeway driving? i was looking at the spec or fidanza steel flywheel also because i was thinking since im already in there i should just replace everything so i dont have to worry about it again for a long time, if ever..
