Who says a DFX isn't streetable?

[phillySVT]

Boy am I glad I didn't listen to all the whiners who said this clutch isn't streetable. :shrug: The clutch pedal is softer, it shifts 10x smother than stock, & really grabs (doesn't jerk you though). Learning how to shift into first with out jerking took 2 days....by the third day a passenger couldn't tell a difference. Plus this clutch will hold over 600 to the wheels....I am not regretting it! :thumbsup:

Whew!! Good to hear. I had purchased this clutch and all the accessories a while ago and was hesitant to install it. Exactly for the reasons you just stated. A lot of negativity. Thanks for the review.

I love my DFX,,,only time it chatters now is if I down shift it.

 

[phillySVT]

so far I have no chatter....I only have 300 miles on it.

I need to ditch my Ram for a DFX/fidanza combo. I'm not getting the "bite"
out of the Ram that I'm looking for.

I really like that combo as well! It grips like crazy and only if Im lazy it occasionally chatters in first,hehe! :beer:

Once you learn how to shift into first you'll like it. I have done city driving with it.....I love the fact that the clutch pedal takes a lot less effort than stock.

Ya i have to say after driving mine for awhile I like mine also.

I'm debating whether or not I need to upgrade my clutch (TOB is being and SOB right now :mj: ). I'd like to hear more input about the differences, and especially streetability issues surrounding the switch to a DFX from stock. This car is a daily driver (which my wife also drives), and I don't want to have to listen to her complaints (or personally feel that the car is a PITA to drive). Thanks.

While wee are on the topic of clutches and im not tryng to hijack here. would your DFX guys say this i a far better and streetable clutch than any of the spec clutches? I had a spec stage to in my 94 cobra and it was a bitch to drive daily. when i got i told myseelf i would never buy another spec clutch again. but theni have been told tha tin the 03 cobras the specs are lighter than sotck also.

Well I had a spec stage 4 in mine before the switch and I really think that they are about the same. They both chattered.

My girlfriend drives mine also and she drives it fine once you figure out that you need to start off around 2000. she'll be fine

I don't know how the DFX compares to any spec clutches, but I just upgraded from the glazed stocker a month ago. Took a few days to get used to it. Much softer pedal and no slipping. Took it to the track last Friday and didn't launch worth bananas. Too used to having to slip the old clutch instead of dumping this one since it grabs so well. Better results next time. I'd recommend it to anyone, even a wife, g/f, grandma. They'll appreciate it.

I have the DFX setup as well and love it at the track and it is okay on the street but is a pain in stop and go traffic. I don't drive it now when i know there will be traffic, so no commutes to work with it. It does have a lighter pedal effort.

Interesting, cause the city is where I do the bulk of my driving in my daily commute. Is it really that bad? I find the stocker can be a bit of a PITA in really heavy stop and go - is this that much worse, even though the pedal effort is lighter? If so, why would that be?

 

[PonyFever]

I get stuck in traffic from time to time and it's not a problem at all.

thanks for the info i have just made up my mind were you having slipping probs my stock clutch seemed fine in 1-2 gears but in 3-4 gears up in hard boost it felt like it would start slipping
