Best Stock SRT-4 Clutch?

What clutch is the best that is under 400 bucks for a stock SRT-4? Also will a 2.4L PT Cruiser clutch work with my tranny?

The N/A PT clutch is going to be too small. It is a replacement for the non-SRT neon.

Holy crap, I was going to recommend a SPEC because I love mine and my Stage 3 only cost me $369, but wow, clutches are more expensive for the SRT-4's by a LOT!

Tell me about it

Can't wait to fork over $600 plus for mine in the near distant future.

I had the dealer install the Mopar Performance Clutch. Held my Stage 3 and the 11 second runs, and was perfect for everyday driving.

I have used Sachs in the past. Wasn't on a turbo app. but it wasn't a slouch either. I liked it.

Sachs is a good quality clutch, it put 50k miles on a sachs in my old car. That includes drag racing every weekend and just all around abusive driving.

There is a shop that offers some nice clutches for a good price www.euro-drive.com He offered 15% stronger pressure plates and different disc materials the last time I talked to him. It's better to call since he doesn't really list everything on the website.

Awesome about the Sachs clutch. It was the cheapest of all of the ones we looked at and figured itd be a decent enough product.

As long as you break it in properly it should last a long time without any problems.

Just drive it "nice" for the fist 500 miles or so. No clutch drops, excessive slipping (heat). Just good common sense driving. Then you can get medieval on it. You want to get the surfaces "bedded" in, sort of like brake pads/rotors.

Ah, gotcha. The most playin I do is 2nd or 3rd gear highway pulls. Otherwise I ease around town with it. Both times I tried to dump the clutch with the old clutch it just slipped its ass off.

Sachs made the OEM SRT-4 clutches, so that's probably a stock replacement. You should be good with it.
