choice of clutch

[TRD_86]

currently putting in a carbied 4ag smallport, just wondering what ppl think into a clutch for it. wont be driftin her, just hill climbs and track work, but still something quite strong.

[johnny_08]

what are 4 pucks? are they for better response or just lighter?

[Gunner]

just go somethin cheap, like exedy sports organic or somethin, im sure u'd rather bust a clutch rather than a gearbox.

as for a four puck or 3 puck or even 5, usually better frictional material, causing much more bite, very little choice in between engaged and disengaged basically in or out.

and yes they're stronger, release quicker and bite alot harder, why are they designed in that configuration, im not sure, my guess would be a normal clutch plate with that sort of metal or brass frictional material, would have to much frictional are and would sheer the plate in half, not sure its just a guess

Im using a very heavy race standard pressure plate with an exedy organic clutch plate, takes up hard but can drive it like a normal car, but it will chew clutch out every few months, maybe its just my driving tho lol

I'm running an exedy cushioned button in mine, sprung center etcc. Works well for a daily/thrasher. Bit of getting used to after running a heavy duty organic for a while. No slippage and you can still sorta ride it when need be, had it in for a few months now.

[hara_kiri]

exedy has a big backing by the drift community

hd great for street, buttons are very annoyin for street, but great for track

[DRFTPG]

cushioned buttons are alright for street, i have done alot of driving in a 200kw CA18 powered N13 pulsar and it has a Cushioned Ceramic Clutch and it is fine just driving around, a little more effort but deffinetly worth it once you put your foot down

[driftism]

I have a 4 puck xtreme, but i wouldn't recommend it... mine had to be removed and exchanged after 1 week of use as the splines on the clutch plate were so loose on the gearbox output shaft, and i just removed one from touge 205's car with a broken clutch plate, one of the springs fell out after the metal around them cracked.

generally stronger clutch plate with better release i believe....high chance im wrong about that....[/b]

Pucks have nothing to do with strength or grab... they are for better cooling efficiency... the grab and strength is all to do with weather has a sprung center and the compound it's made of...

but i guess better cooling will help keep it together/strong :P

here's something i prepared earlier... :lol:

wats the goin price for em?

[Gunner]

on average $400 a kit i think

[DavisJD]

Something basic like what people have mentioned. U wont need a heap of bite, all you'll do is wreck your gearbox and get basically no benefits behind a 4A. I'd reccomend Exedy (cant remember which type), its what I use behind my 4agze, it's lasted ages, and I've had no problems with it.

[RobertoX]

As delazy said cusco super single complete with light weight flywheel, i can supply at very competitive prices, and after talking to the cusco rally manager today, im sold on one, very nice piece of gear

[Gunner]

well how much is it, u say that and no price what kinda monkey shit is that lol

[Driftspec]

For street and some track use behind 4AGE's (and 4AC's lol) the Exedy HD organic does really well, plenty of slip, good feel and takeup, and can cop an absolute bashing on the track and still work perfectly.

And +1 for the light flywheel if you need acceleration, those things make a huge difference in standing start and rolling acceleration times/rates. So I guess for track work, thats a +1 all around :)

[RobertoX]

$999

[Gunner]

yeh i thought so lol.

[RobertoX]

it is a complete race kit with a light fly etc

[Gunner]

sorry forgot bout fly, i used to pay $500 for clutch recos on my vl so, nah thats a good price, and the clutch in the 86 was 450 trade, but i didnt pay for it so it doesn't count lol.

good work, sorry dude

[johl]

hmm... sounds like a good package dave.. any good behind a gze? my trd 3 puck brass button isnt handling it and slips a bit... really annoyin to drive. just feels slow.

[RobertoX]

give me a call and i call tell you straight from the engineers mouth why it is sick!

[RobertoX]

200mm and 215 avail for the ze and the 20v
