Got the ute back on Friday arvo with the new NPC dual friction clutch.

Done 100km since and so far am very impressed.

Take up point is much lower than the previous Mantic clutch, which was stupidly high, I had just gotten used to it.

It has a much more positive feel to it as well

Tbh am really enjoying just driving around taking it easy; but trying to get bedding in kays on it asap so I can give it the business

Takeoffs and changes are still very smooth, but extra bite available is obvious.

As far as noise goes. when idling with the clutch in you can hear the tiniest of tiny rattles from the ceramic plate - I would put good money on no passenger ever picking it.

Under load in second or third there is a small amount of noise between 1500 and 1750 but that's it

The mantic is a heavy bitch - came in at 25kg on the scales which isn't surprising looking at it

Installer was Scott at Western Clutch at St Marys. Can't recommend these guys enough; small family business that are good at what they do Service is second to none, price I believe was pretty good... $3100 fitted incl ARP bolts etc etc

Also got them to dump and replace gearbox oil - they used Penrite Pro Gear 70W-75 and it feels like a new box

Edit

Looks like I've sort of claimed this thread, no issue if mods want to move this post to my thread though info may be useful to others

1 organic + 1 ceramic

Don't know if it has its own model code but AFAIK its basically the 260mm STP-02 coppermix twin with plate swapped for a ceramic

Pretty sure I was originally quoted $2700 for the twin organic direct from NPC incl ARP bolts and freight to Sydney

As I posted earlier, the twin organic is originally what I was going for, but a chance conversation with Scotty changed my mind and sh*t I'm happy about that so far

Drives as nice as stock or the mantic (which apart from high take up was nice on the street) but more bite and way better feel

So..... I still don't know what a bitch clutch feels like lol

Nizpro have been doing one organic and one ceramic for years. Was a good way to sort clutch problems with big powered F6 with std AP twin plate. I run twin ceramic now as the car is not a daily and I like to step off the clutch in third for drifty drift
