just wondering if anybody has comptech's clutch and flywheel in their 6 speed. if ya got it, how do you like it and what's the difference between it and stock? i'm mainly wondering if the friction point is closer to the floor than stock

Im wondering the same thing since I last took my car to the dealer, they told me the clutch was starting to wear. If I end up replacing it at some point, I may go with the CT.

so lightweight pulleys are not a good idea with the comptech flywheel and are worthless with a supercharger, correct?

Doing a search would provide you with all the info you need. But to get you pointed in the right direction... my CLS 6MT doesn't have the CT clutch/flywheel but I have driven CT's prototype CLS 6MT that does have it. You will find that shifting is a lot easier and rev matching on downshift much more precise. Car will also fell slightly quicker too. When my OEM clutch needs replacing, I'll replace it and the flywheel with CT's kit.

As far as lightweight pulleys, there have been suspected issues related to these aftermarket pulleys and the CT clutch/flywheel. Besides, with the lightened flywheel (with or without the SC), the lighter pulleys wouldn't provide any real benefit except put more strain on the engine's bottom-end (less spinning dampering mass).

yeah i searched but i found some conflicting answers.........just trying to figure it all out

I've got the Comptech lightweight flywheel and clutch in mine. I've put around 4K miles on it and it's great. As NSX-Tuner said, shifting and rev matching is a lot easier. Motor seems to rev up quicker - probably since the Comptech setup is 18lbs less than the stock flywheel/clutch. It's a nice compliment with the SC. The engagement point is very similar to the stock clutch. Since it's a lightweight flywheel and not as much stored energy in it, you'll find that you have to throttle the car more to get it rolling.

Keep in mind that if you do decide to go this route, the kit from Comptech only includes the Flywheel, Flywheel bolts, Pilot bearing, and friction disk. You will still be using the stock Pressure plate, fork, and throwout bearing. If you have significant hotspots on your pressure plate, you will need to buy another one. Point being - you may have additional parts expense beyond the Comptech kit.

Also as NSX-Tuner mentioned, it's not recommended that this setup be used in combination with a lightweight crank pulley. You've got to have some dampening on the crank and pulling 18lbs off of the flywheel is probably the most to reasonably expect.

sounds good..........thanks for the responses
