when you say lifetime warranty, what do you mean exactly? if the clutch breaks they replace it free?

DanF · 07-20-2004, 08:49 PM

Last I checked, RPS's written warranty is 90 days on their clutches. Although they have extended that in some cases, their standard warranty is 90 days.

They do say the following on their website about their cc clutches:

"And RPS guarantees that all of the segmented wear surfaces are fully replaceable for the life of your car!"

yes, my carbon/carbon clutch is a life time warrenty.

PearlyVR4 · 07-31-2004, 08:17 PM

I thought I'd add my experience with center force. It's not a good one though. My opinion? Don't buy them.
Only went to track 3 times (about 5 runs each time) with it after close to 2 months driving on the streets. They are not much better than stock ones.

haha yeah they also cost $2500 at least

Carbon/carbon does not have a lifetime warranty. Yes, I have one.

The warranty is 90 days. It can be rebuilt for like $400 over and over again. That's the beauty of it. Huge initial investment, but the rebuild cost is very reasonable and it will handle anything a 6g72 can throw at it.

My review of the clutch is: decreased pedal pressure over stock, yup that's right the twin disk c/c is significantly easier to push than OEM. It grabs like hell, almost no slipping, just off or on. Chattery as all hell when cold, but goes away after a few shifts.

Overall, an amazing clutch if you can afford or have the need for it.

I'm looking for a clutch and flywheels combo as well. Its going on my Stage1 (approx 400hp) VR4 daily driver so I was looking for something better than OEM(durability wise).

hudadude · 10-08-2004, 08:56 AM
