XTD Scam...

[owequitit]

The first issue I had with XTD was the price. That always raises a flag.

Then when I actually saw one in person, it didn't look like much more than a stock clutch.

So I decided a long time ago that you would never find one on any car that I installed it into.

Love the ACT though.

What's weird is that I know plenty of people that use these clutches and put out more than enough power and they are fine.

Well pricing is a big issue also. Some people cannot afford name brand clutches at the moment. And usually they just want one that will last them that was the ship I was in when doing my h22a. I needed everything to come in quick and on time which didnt happen as planned (so many parts backordered from honda) but yea I think its more of a price thing. You want a cheap clutch that can handle the power ratings you are shooting for. The stage 3 is a bit diff design compared to the 1/2. Mainly because of disk style. I also pulled out my Luk Clutch that I had in the car before (New and I killed it in 4 months ,fyi luk replacements dont like track abuse) and the xtd looked a lot sturdier. I also noticed on the luk the PP was gone basically and the TO bearing that came with it didnt look too bueno. This went for the same to the XTD for the TO bearing (using an OEM honda one) But from then on I have had no issues when launching with the xtd and so on. As mentioned with any clutch proper break in you should be fine. As I recall Jose just romped on his when he installed his stage 2 and it chatters like a mofo now =D Now thats called a quick break in lol.

break in requires patience. I have absolutely none

i do understand that their product could be crap or nothing more than re-stickered OEM replacement. Im not defending XTD but in my case i had no issues with it at all after a proper break in and not beating it to hell all the time i have been fine for over a year. Hell, you could kill a brand name clutch like ACT or exedy if you dont break it in correctly and beat on it. It has a lot to do with the driver.

I've actually heard more horror stories about ACT clutches than XTD. Their flywheels are good tho.

idk man. my cousin clutch was alright. he blew his tranny from hard shifts, but the clutch was alright.

i think im going to stick with the fidanza ceramic clutch. its probably going to cost me 400 bucks, but fuck it.

I actually took the time to break mine in, and one of the springs broke completely out, and the others were all really close too

XTD or ACT?

[Accord R33]

i guess im one of the lucky ones who hasn't had any issues with my XTD clutch.

[d112crzy]

XTD at your recomendation if I remember correctly

my bad.

I didn't learn of this until recently, so who knows how long they've been going bad.

[starchland]

this sounds like an isolated incident
