Wasn't holding power so replaced it. When the clutch guy pulled it out, he found that because of the sheer bulk of it, it was restricted and wasn't engaging 100%...! Wear on the plates was actually not bad at all. So now I have a spare clutch sitting in the garage that might hold ~400rwkw but it don't fit properly, boo I replaced it with an NPC twin plate, details in my thread but a hybrid clutch, one plate organic, the other ceramic. Rated around 500rwkw I believe but it's all very smoke and mirrors for a clutch holding decent power, there are ratings and ratings Put it this way, I won't be able to make it slip Not quite as friendly on the street as twin organic but not bad at all, way better than twin ceramic, would recommend it. Still get some rattle with the clutch in but nothing anti-social Direct clutch also highly rated I believe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutch guy attempted to explain to me over the phone but I didn't really take it in tbh What I got from it was that due to the sheer size of the clutch, something was preventing the release bearing arm/fork from engaging all the way so that it couldn't get full pressure. Something in the trans tunnel or what... I have no idea. @Ralph Wiggum @k31th @gaz097 does the above sound like a feasible explanation?? Mantic - to my novice eye looks pretty high/deep, weighed about 25kg NPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantic - to my novice eye looks pretty high/deep, weighed about 25kg NPC I would translate that to the installed height of the clutch was higher than stock so the Centric Slave Cylinder (hydraulic release bearing) was applying pressure to the clutch spring although the clutch pedal was release and in turn reducing the clamping pressure on the clutch allowing for slippage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
