If not unsprung, then what?

MBX Motorsports · 06-20-2001, 10:09 AM

My clutch saga begins ... I had the ACT Clutch installed shortly after I bought my 2001 RS back in February. Anyway, I've since dispised the sloppyness of the clutch and went back to OEM.

In my old car, I had a ViTek 4 Puck Unsprung clutch and I absolutely loved it. Now, from what I understand the gears in the 2001 RS are really about as brittle as thin blown glass. So, from what I hear this unsprung clutch will simply destroy second gear in a matter of time (especially on a 50 shot of nitrous).

So, what are your recommendations for an upgraded clutch that won't blow up my gears with grabbing power, yet still handle my 50 shot of nitrous (plus other mods).

I'm not worried about how hard the pedal is to press down (remember I ran that unsprung racing clutch in my Probe a few months back). I just need something reliable and safe .... what about Clutch Masters or Centerforce?
