i had a stage 2 xtd clutch in my old altima. slipped like nobody's business then again 300 miles wasn;t the correct break in period. I enjoyed my stage 2 clutchmaster's clutch much better i would just fork over the extra few bucks if i had to go through that situation again.

p.s.- I am a huge fan of knockoff parts when they are suited for the job i.e. catbacks or my megan ruca's and toe arms. definetly not clutches though.

 

Running a XTD stage 3 in my Integra, it makes the usual noise a Ceramic clutch would make altho alittle louder then normal. I have about 4k miles on it daily driver 3 miles to work and back everyday plus 3 autocross sessions.
Friend had an XTD on his h22a Accord for awhile, it was strickly a drag car, once we hit the 400 wHP mark it decided to give out, the springs popped off. Other then that it took the abuse for serveral (40+) launches and quarter mile runs with slicks. It might have kept going if it wasn't for the fact that we were putting more power then it was rated for.

I like the stage 3 because its very gripy and the pedal feel isn't that much harder then stock.

I can't speak for any of the OEM replacement ones, i've always bought the 6 puck ceramic ones.

 

xtd stage 3, felt like stock but i never had a single problem with it, well over 40k that i put on it

 

Get something reputable. This isn't the thing you want to take a cheap gamble on.

 

xtd has a pretty good reputation on the honda tech board, i bought an xtd clutch and it seemed fine, but it was a stock honda and i didnt keep the car too long

 

you get what you pay for. you can quote me on that.

I was going to go that route with a XTD clutch...but said...hmm. Fuck it, might as well do it right the first time. Went to bapgeon and got a stage 4 Comp Clutch for 295.
