Not sure about your application but for the Cobalts/Redlines I have not heard a single bad thing about Exedy clutches. Check on some 240 forums and see what they have to say.

Not to be a dick but a lot of 4 cylinders don’t make much torque so why the 6 pucks?

Why will it be 400? Again, I was just referring to the typical 4 cylinder.

it will be 400 because it will (eventually) have an 11mm injection pump, bigger injector nozzles, bigger VNT turbo. people with these setups are putting down around 215 hp with around 390-410 lb ft of torque.

That’s great but that’s one example.

Typically, they don’t make torque so I don’t understand how these cars need 6 pucks.

Try to stay with a full face that can hold the torque. Of course, sometimes you have limited choices like an iron disc. 🙂

Jeff look into DXD clutches… its what im goign with, their good clutches…

You dont need a pucked clutch espeicaly if your going to be driving the car a lot. I love steves Sky40, the clutch feels great, its smooth and grips hard… but for daily driving, seriously youll kill your knee or the clutch or both very fast. My g20 had a 3 puck in it, was absoloutely horrible for street driving(worse than yours steve), in stop n go traffic the clutch only lasted about 2 weeks. Get the “stage” clutch from the manufacturer that supports your torque needs. I’m going with a DXD Stage 4 clutch, they have 5 stagtes, all Disc’s , not pucks but there made out of various materials depending on the clutch you get.

Spec clutches have a stiff pedal at least in Lsx powered cars they do. They will hold pretty much what ever you throw at them and Nick has never had a southbend fail on him either.
