Aftermarket Clutches

[SilverBulletRL]

Wasn't sure if this has been discussed before (did a quick search, but didn't go too much into it because I'm at work now) but has anyone found an aftermarket clutch that will work on our transmission? Mine isn't slipping yet, but I'm wondering if it will after the psi-fi kit is installed. I have 21k miles on it now and learned how to drive a 5spd on it...

yeah i think im comming towards a new cluch point too, but that just because i have a really fucked up knee. (dislocated twice, tore acl, tore miniskis (sp), and tore two ligaments (sp) all in one day)

i think 3 is gonna be the way to go, just looking at the descriptions, but that is just me and what do i know about clutches

Stage 2 would probably be the way to go. I heard the SPEC clutches caused crankwalk on the S-Series saturns...

how can a clutch cause crank walk? i thought crank walk was where a few certain bearings wore out quickly and caused excessive play in the crankshaft?

iono... just heard that from other saturn owners...

crank walk to me sounds like the mains are getting torqued around too much (literally, too much torque...) ... if the clutch was too grabby, and you were launching at like 3K RPM with drag radials, it would put *alot* more strain on the crankshaft (not to mention transmission, and axels) because everything woudl be making more "oomph" .... does anyone who is familiar with our build of the LSJ know if we have reinforced mains?
