Hey all, I posted on 780 but wanted to double check with the real authority. Are the clutches for the KA same as CA? I’m gonna be looking into a new clutch when I swap in the CA and don’t know if any suppliers have listings for 180’s ---

Nope they are different. Use a clutch from a CA18ET 87 200SX Turbo. ---

Do any local suppliers carry/ bring in Stage 3 equivalent 180 clutch kits…or is it best bet to just ask for the 87 200sx ---

Very doubtful. You have to remember, this is Alberta, not California. ---

On their website the CA clutch (Stage 3) listed $359 sooo in and around $450CAD I’m assuming… Does this sound right to you? The site lists “The Mustang Shop” as a dealer…any others? ---

buy a SPEC clutch rather than spend money on a KA or S12 clutch … a SPEC will last longer as well as be for a ca18det specifically ---
