Pros And Cons Of Triple Plate Clutches

[relyt]

hi guys , just wanna hear what people know about triple plate clutches , ie ; pros and cons or whats better heavy duty twin or triple plate .

thanks guys

Pros:

They are stronger

Cons:

They cost more to buy

They cost more to rebuild

They are generally heavier to use (so for a car daily driven, you'll need a big left leg)

So unless you are after 450rwkw+++ you really don't need to go bigger than a twin, they are tried and proven whilst still maintaining reasonable driveability... Especially so if you get a Nismo Coppermix, they are excellent and feel like a single plate. If you get the Comp grade one it'll hold 450rwkw no drama as well.

cool thanks for that mate.

As I understand multiplate clutches, a triple plate will put less shock loading (stress) on the drivetrain than a twin plate

My triple plate Exedy was far to brutal for the street and a standard gearbox, stalling all the time and it had way to much bite.

I smashed 3rd gear on a low tune setting the very first time I gave it some stick, I'm now running a Nizmo coppermix and its like driving a different car.

This x a million!

I'd you're not after more than 800 HP, this IS the clutch to buy. Those who have one understand!

Better hope you don't make more then 450rwkw then!!!

Might need to advance that intake all the way!

os giken told me that theres should be no difference between ts2b and ts3b except for more sound beacause mor eplate rubbing together.

They lie

ive got an os twin plate atm, non genuie clutch plates, more bite than an organic single, but not more pedal force.

will be going triple soon, as bought a box with a holinger input shaft, and came with a triple plate.

They lie

why would they?

As I understand it, the clutch is the drivetrain equivalent of a fuse. So, it's like sticking a nail in the fuse box - you won't blow the fuse, but you will blow something else in the circuit.

So, if you stick a massive clutch in, then instead of a slipping clutch (fuse), you will likely break the gearbox or the diff.
