Pal Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi All, My clutch seems to be on its way out (do not recommend xtreme h/duty clutches) after only 2 years. interested in what other people have and how they rate them (also price if possible). Thanks Eric Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/191658-wot-clutch-u-got/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudos.motorsports Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi Eric, Your clutch selection will really depend on your driving style and power output. If you want to drop me a brief outline, I'll let you know what will work best and price.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Pal, Depends what power output you have, I've used twins and triple plates clutches, which aren't ideal for daily driving, but you can get used to them.

bubba Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Exedy (I think?) 4 puck sprung brass button clutch with a real heavy pressure plate. Handles the immense abuse I like to dish out Came out of my mates commodore, handled everything he threw at it until he got on the strip with slicks and 460rwhp.

ryano Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I also have an OS Giken twin plate in my R32 gtst (300hp) and have drifted all year with it, kicking the clutch ocasionally and it still works fine. The clutch pedal bracket busted the welds though just the other day, but thats common and nothing a bit of welding can't fix:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/191658-wot-clutch-u-got/#findComment-3449429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pal Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 looking at about 350hp when finished(when the missus lets me). have 270hp at moment and the one in there is also a 9 puck xtreme. had a bit of a look at it and worked out it may not be set up right as I only got to push it about 20mm to disengage the clutch. i sometimes rest my foot on the peddle between changing gears and this is enough for the clutch to start slipping under power. also may have a bit of air in line as it sometimes makes a small hydraulic squeek when letting out the clutch fast. its going in for a tune on tuesday so i will get the mechanic to bleed the clutch to see if it makes a difference!
