Xtd Clutches

[Speedy]

I am going to reccomend that you DON'T purchase from them.

-bad product
-horrible customer service

I put 350 miles on a brand new stage 4, 6 puck unsprung Xtd clutch and the pressure it completely worn out. The splines are parallel with the disk and not angled outwards like they were when I bought it, causing to not fully disengage. This completely explains why the first and second gear synchros (bronze) in my transmission are non-existent, which was shown by the gold flakes in the fluid I drained.

I called their 1-800 number yesterday and today several times, and no one answered the phone at any time. I have yet to speak to a representative of the company about the warranty on the clutch. I now have to buy a new transmission and a new clutch, which puts me at a loss of about $400.

Yea, i did notice the splines were flat. For a company that tends to get positive reviews for their products, this is a big shame. Whatever parts come next, im all down for installing new parts again. Plus this gives you a chance to use that lightened flywheel! :TU:

I had their Stage 3 6 puck sprung clutch, it lasted about 5months, 3 of those months i was untuned and wouldnt get on my car hard, and when i finally did, it warped on me when i took it to the track, granted i did about 20 passes dropping at 4k with a nice LSD hehehe, but i now have the ACT stage 3 six puck unsprung, and i love it! no probs at all!

cost me 350 more than i paid for the XTD/pressure plate/flywheel combo haha

"you get what you pay for"

i bought the xtd stage 4 6 puck unsrung for my civic, but i bought the the itr version as i am running a b20/b16 combo. i have over 10000 miles on mine and it is fine no problems whatsoever and i am always dropping it in on launch control that is set at 6000 rpm. maybe you got one from a bad bunch?
here is a pic of mine

[EJ8 Coupin It]

i think you just got a lucky one. mine was also for a ITR tranny

[london-ej6]

i will keep you updated if it does break, although i have had it over 14 months so the warranty has probably run out by now

[Speedy]

mines under warranty. i wouldnt as pissed if their customy service didnt suck so much. it took a full day just for someone to answer the phone

[london-ej6]

I spoke to soon my clutch has just gone over 11000miles and it is starting to chatter like crazy on idle

so far it hasnt affected the driving,

im gonna take the gear box off and check, and hopefully it isnt warped:eek:

[lastresort576]

chattering is the throw out bearing.

[london-ej6]

like i said i will be having a good look and hope all is ok

:ohsnap:I really wish i would have read this thread before i purchased and installed mine! I got the stage 3 six puck sprung clutch, but i've only put about 20 miles on it so far. Luckily i'm saving for a YS1 tranny, so i'll probably replace it with the trans.

[Speedy]

i ended up with another xtd that was fine

[97EJ6mike]

Just a defective product.

[Speedy]
