I've been running an XTD clutch for just over a year now and have done a few drift days, and plenty of hard road use during the year. It's a pig of a thing in traffic and takes some getting used to, but I don't really mind because it has a good strong bite.
Hadn't had any trouble with it at all, until tonight. For some reason it doesn't like being slipped in reverse going uphill. The car just groans, and then dies. Weird.

I say yes, greg say no lol

I've been running stage 3 in the skyline for over a year now, lil heavy for everyday use but very grippy for abuse and doesn't fade off, if your on a budget go for it

The one in your car feels completely different to mine though. Yours is smooth as silk compared to mine. haha

ive an XTD in mine too running 400 and no problems at all, only thing i can say is it feels lighter than the standard one for some reason, maybe its not in right i dont know but its still holding the power and hasnt given any bother.

They have to be run in fairly well from what i've read elsewhere. Even though I was told I could rape mine straight away when it was fitted.
