Posted July 12, 200321 yr comment_43688 Hi guys recently my car has been seeming like it's not going anywhere when I hit the gas. It took me a while to come up with what I believe is the reason why and a friend helped me confirm that it's the most likely conclusion. I believe the clutch is slipping because it seems fine on take off but when i down gear or up gear I sometimes get alot of revving but no going . I'm pretty sure it's an aftermarket clutch in there but not sure how long it's been there or what brand it is. I'm wondering what you guys would recommend for a Z with ~200hp or less. I know that the stock ones are bad for launching the car not that i do that often but every so often I do like to give it a bit of stick. Any recommendations ??? :classic: Trying to keep it under the $400 mark also. I'll also install it.

July 12, 200321 yr comment_43700 ACT or CLUTCHMASTERS, also a cheaper solution if you havent done this already would be to go with the 2+2 or turbo flywheel and 240mm clutch disc and pressure plate.much more area for gripping and the turbo clutches seem to have a lot more clamping force.

July 12, 200321 yr Author comment_43707 I believe I have a 2+2 clutch I'm not sure what's the diameter of the 2+2 one? This is why if AlfaDog is reading I didn't want to sell the flywheel with my 240k gbox. Is getting a flywheel lightened expensive? I'd probably do this at the same time or perhaps get a better flywheel altogether . Getting a bit of cash flow soon may as well spend it on something I'd enjoy. Getting a hold of a turbo flywheel or clutch might be a bit hard in AUS. Anyone else wanna suggest anything?:classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/6984-clutch-issue/#findComment-43707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 12, 200321 yr comment_43744 machining of flywheel will cost around the $50 markfor a Brand name clutch... check EXcedy - they will have a clutch for you at a brand name price...personally, just go a basic heavy duty for a 2+2 flywheel, but put the 2+2 flywheel in... not sure if starter motor mod is needed but i'm sure you will sort that out....

July 12, 200321 yr comment_43751 Be mindful of poorly machined/lightened flywheels exploding at fast revolutions.Alan Stean at z car workshop offer a lightened flywheel but im yet to receive details on it, ideally a manufactured one rather than a michined one would be the way to go.He also offers clutches.Depending on what info i receive I may be getting quite a bit sent down to melbourne.
