[04LTRB]

Hey all , 

just a query my clutch has just been installed ( now 300kms old ) it seems to be very light , it’s a Mantic HD twin plate any ideas why this is or is it suppose to be light , also seems to grab close to the Top of the release ! 

Any Ideas ?

It depends what was installed along with the clutch, but a high-ish pickup is not that unusual. Often even heavy clutches feel light in a hydraulic system like this.

 

But you should be asking these questions of the people who installed it.

My twin plate is very light, so that can be normal. Take up point is dependent on the thickness of the clutch plates.  Thicker and its closer to the floor.

It will feel very light as it’s brand new and the pressure plate is very close to max extension. As the clutch wears it will get slightly heavier. Also if it’s a 9000 series because the plates are large it won’t need as much pressure on the diaphragm to hold the power. The pickup point could be a number of things did they check for the correct crush on the slave cylinder and space the slave accordingly when installed?
