Std 6sp Clutch & Edit

[IH8TOADS]

Gday, I'm after some feedback on the std 6sp clutch and at what power level it will go

My T made 189rwkw's on 95ron @ 5.6psi. I have only had clutch slip once but it was severe and stunk for a while.

If I stick with the generic for a while will the clutch hold?

Mate I have 220rwkw, and have never had it slip. Though I have never launched really hard either. I would be curious as to what you were doing to get slip at that power.

To answer your question this topic has been raised and the general consensus was about 250-260rwkw was a time to upgrade.

I beg to differ, ive managed to slip my clutch to a stinky mess and well I aint running edit or nothing. Did it giving the wog a drag race on a long private road. These clutches are soft and any sort of abuse or boost brought on ealier would burn them IMO. All depends on your tune and how you drive.

Fat what is it exactely you are disagreeing with. My post is on my experiences and the general concensus given when the post was raised ealier. Also how does your post help IH8TOADS?

Mate I dont mind a stir, but most of your posts are nonsensical.

I have spun the clutch a couple of time when it was stock, a handful of revs and drop the clutch for a hard launch and it was welcome to stink town population 1

Now that I am running 260 rwkw the clutch does not have a hope. First and second hold ok but give it any sort of power in third and above and it wont hold and its spin city.

My sugguestion to anyone upgrading power or just like to give the car some stick, get an upgraded clutch, your going to need it.

IH8TOADS,

The standard clutch isn't too bad and will handle the standard power well. Once you edit then it's time to upgrade, however you can get away with the standard setup but won't have any fun.

I had 255rwkw and the standard clutch lasted 2 trackdays. Not because of the launches, only a few of those but because of the constant on-off throttle gearchanges, double clutching in the wet etc etc. By the end of the second track day third was slipping under power and it was all over. I went with an aftermarket kit with a much faster clamp time and have done a few more track days without a problem. I'm not into drags at all, but circuit racing is what I've been doing for many years.

Drags are much harder on the clutch when launching so if that's what you'll be doing, you'll certainly need a clutch when you get an edit.

sorry I should have read the above posts more clearly, I have NFI wat im ment to be disagreeing with.

How does my post help, it tells of my expirience with a stock clutch. A little abuse and well it slips, more power and depending on how its developed it slips, as I stateed in my post. The original question is about feedback on the stock clutch and power level where it will let go. This is MY feedback and my expirience on what power level which I feel my clutch has let go.

And how are MOST of my posts nonsensical. that's a pretty bold genralisation to be making. Scotty please try to keep it on topic for the sake of this thread and dont be a post w h o r e

I'm pretty bloody stupid but I've picked up on that as well

What he's trying to say is that he rides the clutch like a sheila and has f*cked it

I had no clutch slip with the standard tune, however with an 8 psi generic edit the clutch

would start to slip at around 2800 rpm in 4th. This was not related to launches or gear changes. Going back to the standard tune the clutch worked as good as new. I have since added a Mal Woods option 1 clutch. This is much better to drive than standard and seems to be copping with a custom tune.

Cheers guys, sounds like a clutch is a definate if I go the edit

I was being silly when I smoked my clutch, but I have punished the out of it and its doing pretty good considering

Oh on 26,000 km's by the way.

Also I was riding my pushie home from work and stopped and had a conversation with a guy with a MKII who had ~ 250rwkw's and it sounded like his std clutch was slipping too.... bugger!!!
