Hey eveyone, I have a 94 SL and my clutch is starting to slip, I heard this happens when the engine revs, but the car doesn't move as much as it should. so I'm not sure 100% but most ppl told me the clutch is slipping. I am not sure what to get but this is what I hear:
 
   ACT is great, the best on the market, most popular, some say overrated
   Exedy is also great, makes stock oem and performance clutches
   Fidanza should be good, but its known more for its flywheels, which I'm not sure if I should get
   Spec is a little cheaper than fidanza on 3sx.com, a friend tells me its good that lambos used them, a shop told me they're crappy and brake down
   XTD is a brand I've never heard of, on ebay they have good combinations of clutch (even stage 3) and fidanza flywheel for 450. A friend tells me they're chinese and not good quality,          some      forums I read say they brake down, some say they're good.
   Then there is centerforce and clutchmasters but im not sure if they make em for this car
 
   Now the cheapest I seen is ebay like as low as between 100-150 for a clutch, and 450 with flywheel, but i want to get a stage 2 or stage 3 prob. I dont have many mods
   I ahve inejn intake,iridium plugs,megnecore wires,test pipe,lightweight pulley,kevlar timing belt and 60K tune up done, Please tell me from experience what u guys recommend and where to buy it. I will gladly appreciate it and answer any of your questions in the future with my knowledge of these cars

i had that same problem and i am a mechanic in NY and it sounds like its the clutch and most likely if you ride the car alot with a bad clutch u wind up making some nasty groves into the flywheels faceplate .. i have bought a stage 3 fidanza clutch kit (including flywheel) from 3sx.com and i waited the 500mile break in period before i started beaten on the car .. all i can say is the clutch and flywheel are a really good combo. the car runs like it should and i am very satisfied .. hope this helps

I was just checking on XTD and XTR clutches you can get stage 1 and 2 for like 150...but I know one of em is cheap and one of theem is japan quality, just have to figure out which one, also the attractive prices is on the oem exedy its 100 bucks on ebay, fodanza is like 280, and fidanza flywheel and exedy clutch is 450, im trying to figure out whats the best deal. OPlease let me know how much u would charge and which one u would recommend

What do you have done to you car? How do you drive? That will determine the clutch you should buy.

You need a new or a resurfaced flywheel or you'll be doing another clutch job.

If you don't break the clutch in, your an idiot and will be doing another clutch job.
