I dont think anyone makes an aftermarket clutch for the CL. I work at a clutch shop and i havent found one yet. I know that Exedy and ACT do not make one for the CL. I think u have to get the stock one, but good luck

no just the disc, but i am using the comptech flywheel with the clutch in my garage for just in case i burn out the ACT. the two come together but i did not need the comtech disc. and my pressure plate was custom made by clutchmaster.

is the disk sprung or unsprung? If you have the invoice still, perhaps you can share with the board the part number that clutchmaster assigned it. Do you have any pics of this pressure plate? way cool btw!

Let me understand this.
You are using the stock flywheel, ACT 6-puck clutch with a custom pressure-plate?!? Is the pressure-plate just the stock one painted blue... or is it a different design? Because if it is a different design, I am suddenly interested!

Sorry, but all that's been reported by you on this clutch you have is very FUZZY. If this is the type clutch package you have waiting to be installed in case your other one bites the dust, it sucks. clutchmaster - spec clutch parts are a farse. This is nothing more that a stock pressure plate painted blue and advertised as a high performance pressure plate. I'll pass and suggest everyone run far away from this. Good luck though.

Got my clutch checked today and the bad news is that it is toast. A local performance shop suggested the Centreforce clutch. Does anyone have any experience with this clutch?

you can get aftermarket clutch "disks" , but I doubt your "pressure plate" is anything other than the stock unit.

yo thin jim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry to dissapoint you thin jim.. i have my stock pressure plate, you only receive the blue painted pressure plate when you are to cheap and request the factory clutch kit.. the one i received from clutchmasters is STAMPED!! sachs r.d. right on the pressure plate. NOT A STICKER,and the plate is white with a thicker metal face!! sorry to break your heart jim but i have had this setup for over a year and it is far from stock.. that and my years of experience building race engine set-ups and trannys tell me it is far from stock!! and i can bet you pink slips that my cl-s 6sp. will spank the sh** out of what your running, stock clutch really fades when heated up and face RIPS OFF THE RIVETS when you are pushing over 350 stallions to the wheels...comptech clutch IS a factory clutch, except it is sprung and factory is not.. dont get me wrong, i really like comptech products but when there is a product that is superior to theirs i will go with the superior product.. SO PEOPLE,PLEASE DONT LISTEN TO OPINIONATED AND UNINFORMED INDIVIDUALS LIKE "mr. THIN JIM"..you will end up pissed and with less money in your pocket when you find yourself going out and buying the better product anyways.....

clutchmasters kicks a**!! and for those of you who are boosting, get their t6 lightened flywheel like i did, totally kills any turbo lag!! totally makes a difference in boosted or naturally asp. cl-s... their # is (909)877-6800.. ask 4 joze, he builds 4 pro-race teams and knows his sh*t..

Why am I laughing....hmmm my stock pressure plate has "Sachs" stamped into it also. btw, i didn't buy that blue pressure plate either. Glad your enjoying your setup, you by far have the best cls on this board.

On the 'blue' pressure-plate - it looks like someone took a spray-can and painted it!!! On the other hand if there is some truth to the flywheel + clutch + pressure-plate combo from clutchmasters... that's interesting!

as for the person running the custom pressure plate, that's great news for us if it's real. To have a custom one made would cost muchooo bucks. I'd like to see some pics though before I become a believer. I have found getting a disk is no problem or having the stock disk set up with a different material is no problem as well.

I'd like to know what the clamping force is on this custom pressure plate, do the experts who have chimed in above have the info?
