JWT combo

 

+10000000

 

As mention aboved JWT combo for the win.

 

if you are serious about the FI, get a twin disc carbon from exedy or ats/carbonetics.

JWT is garbage IMHO based on the experience I have had with it. Nothing more than a glorified stocker. I am sure many will come out in defense and say how great it... some already have, but keep in mind, not everyone thinks so.

I have ran several clutches in my car, and driven a few others in friends car. I like the feel of the spec 2+ clutch with OEM flywheel and really like the ats twin carbon. ACT is also a decent clutch. Look for a clutch that is at least a carbon/kevlar hybrid, not a pure organic clutch like JWT.

in the end, your dollars and your car, but just be aware that the JWT isn't all rave reviews

 

Can you explain why you hated this clutch. I'm just wondering to see if i get or will get the same symtoms of feelings like you.

 

Engagement point was rediculously low. I have heard that after a while it becomes more neutral, but how much I cannot say. I know this has been discussed before.

I didn't like the engagement feel/modulation. hard to explain or talk specifically, just didn't like it.

also, the JWT clutch is a plain jane stocker with modified hub, therefore will not hold significant power.... again, some will come on here and jabber about how great the clutch held up to FI. that said, you can search out and find at least a few that haven't had that much luck with it.

If you really need a clutch to hold power, this is not the clutch. If you have an exhaust on your car and want something that grabs a little harder, it might be the clutch for you. Personally, I think it is highly over rated from what I have read on the boards about it. I would try to find a local that has one and see if you can arrange to drive their car to see first hand if you like it or not.

Edit:
And some personal bias. I personally think Jim Wolf is a joke of a tuner. I am not a fan of his products and think 90% are over rated, over priced, and flat out don't deliver

 

i love my jwt combo. no complaints here

 

I have had two sets of this clutch on my car. I liked it so much, got a second set. It's an OEM pressure plate, Exedy clutch disc and a fidanza or act flywheel(not sure on teh flywheel). It's just restamped with JWT

I think the main reason is that it drives nice and is great for people who use their car everyday. Yes it can hold power but if you want something that is more aggressive then this is not it which i think you like. But if there is a clutch that you can go FI with and not think about how to drive when you drive around town because it drives like stock, this is it. .

Thanks for the post.

 

You are the only person I have ever read on any board that is complaining about the JWT engagement being too high. The JWT clutch is notorious for having a soft pedal and LOW engagement point. I had the JWT clutch and flywheel on my Z and the combo was dead on regarding ^

 

Sorry, you are correct. It is getting late, the engagment is low, not high.... it is getting late, and was just discussing clutches on a friends audi-> he has a rediculously high engagment

 

JWT combo owner here. Great for street use. My next clutch will be Carbonetics though..hookups

 

what about this combo it sounds impressive!

i wonder how much faster the car is rolling with this flywheel?

 

I'm glad someone said something about the JWT combo. I was wondering about this myself. I am looking for a nice setup. Any reccomendations in the same price range. Like the ACT Setup?

 

the JWT combo seems to be the most popular

 

ACT street disc and pro-light flywheel was great when I had it on my 06'.

 

So what do you have now? or unless you sold the car haha

I have the ACT Prolite flywheel and HD street clutch. It has been a great combo. I love the one piece chromoly flywheel/ the clutch grips well; I've never have a slippage yet. the pedal is nice and firm, but not too hard. I am going on 11 months with this clutch, and it's on its second turbo setup! It has been holding 400 rwtq on both applications over about 15,000 miles.

 

ACT or the JWT combo. They are awesome clutches!

 

I have the JWT flywheel with the Clutch Masters FX400 clutch an I love it! Harder to start off then stock but you get used to it quick. Between that and my solid motor mounts it was a huge improvement over stock in throttle response and acceleration.
