rollex Member 683 Member For: 11y 14d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 15/11/14 06:18 AM Share Posted 15/11/14 06:18 AM (edited) Got the car back, clutch is fantastic, slightly heavier than stock but no shuddering (stock clutch was at 190,000kms) and take up is very smooth. Love how it feels compared to stock, holds the torque without any hint of wanting to slip and takeup is about 1 inch off the floor (better than it was stock).Just driving it without any hard changes or dropping the clutch etc. What happens to an organic if you are hard on it from day 1?

I though brake pads came pre bedded in from the factory, eg they put them on a machine and run them to a certain temperature for a certain time?

Be gentle for the first couple thousand kms.

rollex Member 683 Member For: 11y 14d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 15/11/14 07:27 AM Share Posted 15/11/14 07:27 AM Can you explain the mechanism behind why that happens? I don't really know much about it. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83653-clutch-recommendations/page/48/#findComment-1512373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also cause deposits to be left bonded to the steel plates which create an uneven and lesser surface area resulting in shudder ando slippage.

rollex Member 683 Member For: 11y 14d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 15/11/14 08:06 AM Share Posted 15/11/14 08:06 AM Ah that makes sense, so it is uneven heating of the plate causing the issues.
