MR2 Turbo Clutches
Posted: Mon May 26, 2014 1:36 pmJust getting some discussion going. What clutch do you have and what do you think of it??
So far I've been using the ACT TM1-HDSS,
It's been a pretty decent clutch overall, but the pedal pressure (with the turbo clutch pedal, yes it's different because it has helper springs) is considerably higher than stock. It's not unmanageable, but it definitely takes the fun out of driving in traffic.The only downside, as it's a significant downside is that after 3 summers of driving the throw out bearing is failing. Actually, it was failing all of last summer as well. That's shitty because it requires removal of the transmission, which means I might as well look at replacing the clutch and flywheel friction surface (I have a fidanza LWFW).
