I'm taking the trans out again and I'm nervous about using my spec S3 clutch because of shock loading. Is this ridiculous, or should I buy an organic clutch?
Any recommendations on a clutch NOT MADE BY ACT?

I have a decent 1.6L clutch sitting in my trunk. You can has it. It has a pressure plate that doesn't look stock, but I haven't looked into it. Regardless the PP is useless at your power levels. Without looking back at your build I'm assuming you have some badass ****.
Although I highly recommend the ACT Xtreme. I make love to it nightly.

My flywheel and pressure plate are pressed together out of sheer terror. You clearly aren't man enough to duplicate this, though, so I'll recommend you use a stock 1.6 clutch so your feminine legs can at least have a hope of pressing it down far enough to back the car out of your boyfriend's guest spot.

I'm taking out my stock clutch from the 02 I have... and replacing it with a SPEC Stage III. You are welcome to have my old 56k mile clutch if you want it.
Tho, on my 99 with the turbo, MSM 6 speed, and open POS diff... it did just fine. What's your concern... your diff or smthing else?
Cheers,

hustler baby, turns out the **** I just pulled out is some kind of Exedy, but don't know what the markings mean. It's a 1.6L size, and in decent shape.
I have no idea if it's what you're looking for, but if so let me know todayish.
Webster is way the **** out of my way home, but I'll swing by and give it to your dingleberry worry wart *** if you do three things:
1. Relax about your setup.
2. Don't laugh at mine.
3. Buy me a smoothie.
See ya,
Big Body D
sorry for crappy cell phone pics...****'s yours if you care to install it and see.
