Clutch Types

What is the difference between a stage 1, 2 , or 3 clutch? Which is better? How do you tell what kind you have?

thanks

They will be able to withstand different amounts of power and feel different in terms of pedal stiffness and engagement.

If dealing with stock , i wouldn't go past a stage 1 , less chance of doing any damage

You have to consider the manufacturer as well. A stage 1 clutch from one maker is not always the same as a similar stage clutch from another manufacturer... ie Clutchnet and Clutchmasters ... also some don't even rate their clutches in terms of stages, but rather in name only ie Exedy, Centerforce etc...
