# clutch OEM/ACT (Matt and John VdP especially)

My clutch sucks.
It's the same one that has been on the car since I got it (2 years, 30k miles) and I dont know how much older than that it is. It was never that good when I got the car and I basically learned to drive a stick on this car so that didn't help either. It works allright for normal driving but slips pretty bad if I try to push it.

I've got Y pipe and intake and my car; maybe UDP in the future but not a whole lot else planned powerwise.

I was thinking I would go with ACT clutch but I was reading a bunch of posts on .org regarding ACT clutch and got the impression that it's pretty rough for everyday driving. I know there is some tradeoff for a performance clutch but I dont want something that is a pain to drive around all the time especially when I'm in Atlanta traffic.

Anyone with ACT, what do you guys think about your clutches? Worth it or not? Matt, I say you posted some initial impressions but haven't heard anything lately. John, still happy with your switch back to OEM?

Also, anyone have either clutch for sale? :)
