Rosie, i agree with the x-man 100%, although your mechanic has said your twin plate is an excellent clutch, no-one is disputing that. The facts are its a dog of a thing to drive and you obviously cant come to terms with it so i agree with the x dude, a jim berry set up is an excellent cluch, single plate, light pedal yet delivering over 2 tonnes of plate pressure good for more Kw than you will ever have, its a cloned subaru clutch and would be my first choice for a street machine. I have a new nismo twin plate and it like yours is a pig to get going at the lights but i intend to do track work, if i didnt the jim berry would be strait in, food for thought, cheers Smud
