Clutch/flywheel question

[KEVOP80]

Guys/Gals......I've searched, and searched, and have messaged vendors, but I still don't know. I don't know a lot about clutches.....i never go to the track, and the mods in my sig are probably the most I'll do (MAYBE catted headers). I'm more of a show kinda guy, but still wanna romp on it on country back roads.

AM has 2 mach stage 3. With or without hydraulic TO bearing. What is the difference? I've read horror stories about ppl receiving bad hydro TO bearings. Is it necessary for cars FI? Do i need it, considering that I am not beefing this cars performance?

I want more bite, and want at least 80% stock pedal feel. I want as little clutch chatter as possible.

Is there a problem with your OEM clutch?

Yea. I have 5k miles now. Bought it used with 2200 miles. I feel it slipping, and I have the infamous vibration coming off the clutch. I got a good deal, so i took it. I think I'm just finishing off the other owners job

5K!!!!! Dang that really sucks! Somebody must have been pretty hard on it. Since I'm new to the S550's I can't recommend a clutch for you but I would be very careful to not over-clutch the car. Some more familiar with our cars should chime in soon.

McLeod is my Opinion..

Can you elaborate more? Bro, help me out. U have their clutch? If so, enlighten me.

McLeod is my Opinion..

And if you have leod, which one?

I don't have a McLeod in my car currently. I have 9500 miles on the car with 6 track days, and no indication of the clutch going out. the stock clutches are good from the OEM. I say McLeod because my Tuner/Mechanic claims that is the best choice! "Which one?" That all depends on your needs and what kind of abuse it will take. remember the clutch is an In and Out device, not a tool to help keep your R's up.
You need to do your homework and pick one. The answers you get on the internet can confuse you more than help sometimes. Good luck.

If you're experience slipping and vibration, I'd be more worried about your flywheel being glazed than the clutch. 5000 miles only to a dead clutch is very hard to do, baring defect.

... AM has 2 mach stage 3.

stage 3 clutch may result in a heavier clutch peddle. If you are concerned about that.

Exedy Mach 500 Stage 3 Clutch (15-17 GT)
•734 Ft-lbs of Torque @ Flywheel

Like others said it depends on your desired usage. such as a any build. gonna abuse it or go big HP? might need something stronger. or considering the stock clutch seems to hold stock power pretty well and pretty long go for a slightly upgraded one like an exedy 500 theyre supposed to hold 700lbs of tq and fairly cheap
