Hey everyone,
Well, after leaving the slip inn last night (city) I gave the old girl abit of a stab.. Looks like the clutch it gone.. hmmmm.. slipping.. Its becomming very annoying.. After a hard launch it becomes bad...
Soo... My question is.
Its a Aw11 Mr2 with LSD E51,
I dont want a Brass Button jobbie.. to hard to steer in traffic..
I would like to stay organic.. BUT.. I would like some increased grab.. soooooooooo..
Anyone reccommend a brand or somewhere i can get the plate from?
Thanks,
Lyle

 i have a RPM 1088 option1 bonded and riveted (BR) clutch kit in mine, have had it in since mid 99. i drive my car HARD and have not had any dramas or slipping or any thing. i can still rev to 6500, and dump it  wooohooooo!! but the fun really happens once i snap second.

mmmmmmm tasty  ... How much did that cost you? did u install it yourself? and....... Is it ok to drive in traffic? is it buttoned?? or is it still organic?
I guess my question is.. When you let it out easy does the car shake like shit when its low revs?

the clutch kit is like the factory toyota one, but a stronger performance clutch. it drives like any normal clutch. not buttoned or anything like that. bonded and riveted i think just mean how they've put the material onto the metal? i know i paid about $230 for it, but i was working at autobarn when i got it, so i think i got it a bit cheaper, just give a RPM dealer a ring, mention what the part #, i gave you, but probably best to still tell em what it is for. it's prity easy to do yourself, a car hoist would make it great, but you can do it on ramps (and one stand). instead of taking the gearbox out like they say in the manual (where you have to take the exhaust off, engine mounts etc.)to hang the engine and box down on a angle. i took the left hand suspension out so you have enougth space to slide the gearbox off and out, with only taking the drive shafts, starter, undoing all the shit bolted to the top of it, and of course the bolts  leaving the engine still on it's mounts without touching it. then you just change the clutch like any normal clutch ( be best to take the flywheel off and get it machined while your at it.) then put it all back together. i hope this is a help.

I'm using a 4-puck sprung center button in mine and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be - For the first week or so, it was really nasty, but, once it was bedded in, it's just like a standard clutch, just grips really well.
