    I’m thinking about ordering the Xclutch street plus from CorkSport. Anyone running this clutch that can give me some input?

    Well nobody ever answered this so I put my trust in corksport and ordered it. I’ll post updates once my build is finished and I get it put in.

    The quickest ms6 in the world had his xclutch twin disc fail after 2 passes at the track. The corksport catalogue car owned by Chris singer is already slipping after a few passes

    Hey Jimme how has the Xclutch from corksport worked out so far? ACT has been on backorder for over 3 months, I just ordered the Xcultch street plus clutch, hoping to hear something good about it...

    I haven’t installed it yet. My plans changed and now most of my parts are going in to an ms6 I bought with a bad motor. I have been gathering all the parts I need for the build and finally have everything other than my wot box. What I can tell you is that I will NOT buy another one. There are a bunch of Allen bolts that run around the purple cover. One of mine stripped the head out when trying to remove the cover and I had to drill it out. No big deal but when I called corksport about getting a replacement bolt (which Is what the paper work for the clutch said to do) they said they don’t have any extra bolts and can’t help me. I was told to contact X clutch about it. I tried that and never heard back from anyone.
    So I guess when I have spent over $8000 dollars with corksport and bought a clutch from a company that costs over 1100 bucks but nobody is willing to help me get a replacement bolt that costs less than a dollar , it put a bad taste in my mouth.
    That being said he clutch looks to be good quality and I plan on breaking it in before beating on it. Should be installing it in the next couple weeks so I will do an update

    Thanks for info, I'll make sure to be extra cautious with the Allen bolts. Let me know how it feels once u break it in.

    Hello, I just put my XClutch Kit(same as the one you mentioned) and I will say that it is very grabby but taking off is the only challenge. I personally love shifting every single gear with this kit, it just feels soo.... I dunno aggressive but smooth at the same time. Needless to say it's worth it in my opinion. I also had a P0300 which I've been chasing for a year and service procedure says if PCM update doesn't fix it, replace flywheel. Crazy because my dual-mass was bad when I pulled it so I got a 2 in 1 fix, feels like a brand new Speed :) I uploaded the beauty before re-installing the trans, she's definitely pretty.!

    I'm still breaking in, I only installed about 100 miles ago.

    I’ve been running it since October. Haven’t had an issue with it yet.

    Mileage? Power level? Racing/use case?
