XTR Clutch Kit Review?
Has anybody ordered and used one of these Ebay cheapy clutches? I have read mixed reviews on the web.
For $179 stage 3 I am really tempted......
I do have an fx400 clutchmaster clutch with a fidanza lightened flywheel, but I would like to wait to use that clutch until farther down the road and was hoping this clutch would get me through a year or so, maybe less, i would hate to beat on my nice clutch right away and can't see dropping another $400 for a stage 2 clutch.......
oh and to start, this clutch would be mated to a stock 3400 for a couple months, then my boosted motor, and eventually the boosted motor with full boost, the when it grenades use the nice clutch.....

IIRC there are a couple J bod 660 folks using that clutch with GREAT results. I would hop on the bandwagon if it up to me. Get it now while it's inexpensive!

I am almost positive that the XTR is the same as the EZ clutch which are both made by Clutchnet.com.
I have the stage III EZ clutch, 6 puc sprung and it holds all the power I put down, and I wouldn't be surprised if it held to take my 2900 pound car into the 11's.
So, I say give it a shot.
Drill out your clutch line fittings, and you'll be happy with it.
Also, if you plan on a high revving engine (6500 +) I'd get something un-sprung in maybe a 4 puc direct from clutch net... just so it's lighter and allows for quicker shifts at high RPM.

I have it in my 3500 5-speed beretta. The car runs well, but i dont drive it yet.
But it does clear the bellhousing fine. The pedal feels good, but a little snappy. Well see.

Also, the disk is made by clutchnet and the PP is by grip force. BTW

Haha yeah I guess. I found alot of things out the hard way and the costly way.
Like when I pulled a 282 out of a 94 cavalier in january(very cold!). Then I found that it wouldnt work in 92+ berettas after I bought it, took it apart, and almost ordered parts for it.
But mistakes are how you learn, so I try to post every time I screw up so people dont make my mistakes

It didnt work because theres 2 different casings for the hm282/NVG, one has bosses for the 92+ mounts.
It is irrelevent for cars using the bellhousing to mount though, like the cavis, pre 92 berettas, etc...
