Any updates? Forgive me if there is, I haven't been following up on this for a while.

 

I'm still waiting for the clutch to get shipped. I'll post some update once I get it installed.

 

illstrategy has an 07 tl-s and has been running the spec clutch since he got his block swapped out which was thousands of miles ago... but I'm just saying... I drove it and it felt good

 

Just recieved my clutch, but they didnt give me the Fiber Tough material as requested.... Instead, I got the Kevlar disc.

 

They don't have the Fiber Tough or just sent the Kevlar by mistake??

 

The kit originally comes with Kevlar Disc, but was told you can opt out to get the fiber material instead.

 

Sounds like they messed up your order...just curious, how much did you end up paying and did the kit come with the flywheel? PM if you want, thanks

 

call jose, and tell him you want the 8puc fiber tough disc he recently gave to me (sean)

 

Jose from Clutchmasters or Excelerate Performance?

 

well where did you purchase from? call both if you can. tell josh you wanted the fiber tough disc, he knows about it. then call jose and give him the heads up. trust me, you dont want to install the kevlar!

 

I called Jose earlier, but got an answer machine. I left a message, so hopefully he'll call me tomorrow. Yea, I'm not going to settle for the kevlar... I need something thats going to last me more than 20k.

 

Seriously, I put about 20K a year on my TL...that's not gonna work. It'll be well worth the wait

 

We ordered the correct one for you. CM sent you the wrong disc. As we said in the email CM is sending out a call tag for the incorrect disc and the new one will be sent out to you. Bear with us a little longer. Thanks.

 

I understand... Hopefully I dont have to wait much longer. Keep me posted when you hear from them.

 

nothing for tl-s 2007 excelerate ?? fiber

 

I'm not sure what you mean. Please clarify.

 

cm st 3 with fiber and flywheel

 

upppp !!

 

TTT, Clutchmaster FX300 (Stage 3) clutch finally installed.

UDPATES:

Make: Clutchmaster
Model: FX300 w/ Fiber tough Disc
Price: $1250
Labor: $470 after tax


Its been nearly 4 days since I got the car back. I've already put 300 miles on the car, little over halfway break-in point (500mi.) The clutch pedal is little lower to the ground, roughly around 4inches. Surprisingly, the clutch feels much softer than I expected, although there is more pressure in the pedal when engaged.

It will definitely take me a few days of getting use to. I can no longer shift smoothly in each gear. Shifting into gears takes more force then before. It doesn't slide like butter. At times, I find it hard shifting into "1st" and "reverse", as if the gears doesn't exist.

I don’t know if it’s because the clutch hasn’t been broken in, but it worries me. The shop used Honda Tranny Fluid. The clutch does chatter, but at minimum. Other than that, I guess I'll have to wait until I reach the break-in point before I can really say how I feel about the clutch.

Overall, I love the new feel. The clutch definitely bites quicker!

 

just install clutch ?? no flywheel ?? thanks for the update !

 

Sorry, I forgot to include that... the clutch kit came with an aluminum flywheel.

 

Keep us updated man! Glad to see you finally got this installed.

I'm just worried about how you said sometimes it's hard to shift into 1st and reverse, I hope it's something that goes away cuz I really want this!

 

glad you went with the fiber tough. i went through a few kevlar disc, until i had them develope one with different material.

as for not getting it smoothly in gear, did you adjust the pedal height properly AFTER getting the clutch installed? that might be your problem right there

 

I adjusted the pedal height today, took it for a test-drive and immedately noticed a huge difference in shifting. Getting into gears doesn't require much force anymore. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for the tip!

Ah, I'm so relieved now... I was worried that it might have been the installation.

Another question... Since the shop used Honda Tranny Fluid, should I leave it be or should I switch to GM Synchromesh?

 

^Neither, get redline

 

having same issues with the clutch you originally did (like bottom photo), so CM sent me a new clutch disc but a 9-puck one though (backing plate is still fully around though), not like your 8-puck, i don't know the exact differences though , other then the number of pucks, or why they would change it

anyways you mention kevlar, ceramic, and fiber tough ons, how do you tell the exact difference....
also i got the ceramic one, would that happen to be good then lol....



btw i also have been talking to jose

 

update please , looking into getting a new clutch

 

What mods if any on your car? If your thinking about dropping the $1400-$1500 on the clutchmasters unit, think about spending a few hundred more on the JandR twin disk.

 

HOLD UP, WHAT???, linky PLEASE

Any updates on this?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm wondering if Competition Clutch would have something for our 6M/T ??

 

Cm does offer a clutch kit jandr also offers a twin disc tilton unit complete which is unbeatable for the cost and holds up 750 lb tq ,a few forum members is running the unit already smooth engagements livable for daily use ..

 

i would go with the tilton.

 

I have a clutch masters FX300 kit...with the Kevlar Disc...The engagement of the Pressure Plate is very good, feels almost like stock...

Now the Disc it self? Its a piece of shit...Not even 1,500 miles of usage and its all ready slipping...Specially from 3rd to 4th gear...Now its happening in second gear...I mean come on...the stock set up was even better.

My last dyno was 296whp/262lbs on the MT 08 Type S, on stock clutch. I am considering from CM the 8 puck fiber or just go straight with the sprung 6 puck. (Technically a FX400 set up).

Currently I am porting my IM to match the PnPed intake runners and to match my bored TB to the IM opening. My p2r spacer is also bieng matched with all 3 heatshield gaskets. We are expecting some gains to exceed 300whp N/A...I am still concerned and debating on the final decision to be made on my disc...I have to tell you...I was not happy with the Kevlar disc performance from CM at all...

 

I've had the FX300 installed for nearly 13,000 miles now.. I want to say the pressure plate is acting up. At times at a complete stop, I will engage the clutch and it doesnt return with pressure (like a dead pedel without pressure). I would have to manually slip my foot behind the clutch pedel and raise it up to build pressure.

Once this clutch completely wears out, I'll definitely be going back to OEM.

 

I've had a SPEC clutch for a year and a half, almost 30k miles, and it's holding up just fine.

 

What's the update on this? After 147k, my clutch is slipping during hard acceleration. So I will need a new clutch soon. I'm considering aftermarket, but need proof that CM is reliable or not.

 

^^Mine too is slipping, 253000km on it, I will replace the disk on monday with a 6puck NON-sprung disk and probably will have to get the FW machined depending on how it looks when we drop the transmission.

I will let you guys know with pictures what I did and the results. The reason why I won't go with the P2R, is the axle braking factor...its my daily driver and I also do some drag race once in a while....

So I need better then OEM, but not to the axle braking point

 

i broke my driver axle 2 weeks ago (replaced 3 months ago OEM) shifting from 1st to 2nd on a stock "bad" clutch and im in the market for a new clutch. if 13000miles is all you getting out of the fx300 then i dont want it... What other alternatives are there besides stock? no SPEC, Excelerates clutch still needs a testers, and jandr tilton clutch is 1900...

 

Check my thread in the Black Market! FX200 for sale! I was told it's brand new from a forum member, but apparently the PP was used for a couple thousand miles according to 2 techs? So I can't really say, because I don't know how to tell.

 

i dont think that has anything to do with the pressure plate.. Sounds like you might have air in the system or signs of a bad cmc or sc. did you do the slave cylinder mod?
