Aftermarket 6MT clutches?

[cartOC]

My M4 Gintani tuned w/ Gintani downpipes & BMC filters has finally touched 40,000 mi and i'm right at 600 hp w/ only bolt-ons, and my clutch cannot handle it anymore, it significantly slips in 5th and 6th gear at WOT, so it's obvious all of the power has been slowly killing my stock clutch over the last year I have been tuned. I haven't heard much talk about aftermarket MT systems and only DCT, does anybody have an aftermarket clutch in their 6MT that they could recommend? Grateful for all replies.

Looks like Spec carries options with torque capacity from 900 to 1400+. I cant speak to the application on the f80 but really liked the stage 4 I had on my tuned 06 saab 9-3 Aero.

Hm. Any tried and true ones out there?

I sent my clients clutch and flywheel to Clutch Masters last year for product development. We chose a race spec type due to knowing we were going for high performance numbers. Clutch pedal is very firm but you get used to it easily.
Currently sitting at 710ish WHP on a low reading mustang dyno
Clutch feels and performs perfect

How much did it cost?? This sounds like what I need.

OE is the best option

Change to a new one since a slipping clutch would also rob power on a stock car

Clutch has never been a weak point for the 6mt F8X platform

You'll have to contact Clutch Masters directly.
They have more then 1 option depending on what you are needing

Had a Spec Stage 3 on my '00 Steeda Vortech Supercharged GT (550 WHP) and a Spec Stage 3 on my '03 Evo 8. Both worked flawlessly and held up to the power and were driven daily. Note that you may experience a harder clutch pedal feel with the Stage 3 mainly due to the puck design vs. a Stage 2, disc design. Also the Stage 2 will allow a little more slip due to the nature of the disc (more street-able), were the Stage 3 (6-puck design) will be more of a on/off (grab/no grab) feel (more track oriented). Hope this helps!


Side question: How are you at 600 with a tune, DP's and filter? What kind of tune are you running?

600 can be obtained when on a Dynojet
Has to have turbo upgrade in my opinion
