JGY clutch?

im shopping for clutches and dont have a whole lot of money to spend. i saw the JGY-STREET-se-r Sprung 6 puck disk. is this clutch any good? ive only ever bought spec and act. im looking for something that doesnt kill my leg in traffic as this is my daily. any input would be greatly appreciated.

I think they are just a comp or spec brand clutch repainted and labeled as JGY.

I have the street clutch in my daily and it initially gave my leg a work out honestly. It can be a PITA in stop-and-go traffic, and it can moan like a b*tch at times.

Really good holding power though (is kind of overkill for my lightly modded NA car).

i love my clutch master the way they design it makes the clutch feel so nice no stress pushing the clutch in. I would recommend them to anyone. Also get the unsprung (i know it might be a tougher pedeal) but its better than popping the damn springs out of the clutch.

Last weekend I saw a jgy clutch fall apart on a stock de. Springs got all messed up and popped out and this clutch was pretty damn close to being new. Chunks missing out of it and everything its ashame that they are so crap and people keep buying them.

I am using the jgy 6 puck sprung. pedal feel is kinda harsh after a while. have been through 3 cables so far and hardly ever drive the car. Does grab good but wouldnt buy another one. might try ACT next?

i actually love my jgy 6 puck clutch ive had it over a year.had it in my Na for about 4 months..then went turbo and it still grips ...and its not hard in traffic doesnt cramp my leg or anything..my stock clutch on my old 87 ford gt was harsh..that thing was hard...
but i say go for the jgy ..i havent gone through no clutch cables yet... good clutch in my opinion

I got a ACT 6puck HD Pressure plate with sprung disc and that sh*t kick hard. Just check your back motor mount often.

after about 5k miles on the stock sr20 the clutch looked fine and we put it on the gti-r when we did the swap. after less than 1000 miles on the gti-r running 8-16lbs of boost there isnt much left of the clutch. two of the 6 springs are gone, found pieces of them in the bell housing, the pressure plate is pretty scorched, and the jgy 11lbs flywheel is all kinds of colors of the rainbow.

the pedal was pretty stiff, broke one clutch cable myself, but i kinda liked it on the gti-r motor. clamped hard and consistently though.

i think i am going to try spec next.

x2 on clutchmaster. My stage 1 unsprung disc holds everything I throw at it.
