Triple plate Fcuk up??

[West]

Hi all,

just got a question regarding to my 32GTR , it had triple plate clutch on it. I was really hard make noise when reverse, need at least 3000rpm to have a good/normal at the light taking off ...ect..but recently i lanuch my car really hard at 7000rpm once or twice and now the clutch feels like a normal heavy duty/button type thing.

. First scenario :

Ok my thought is with my old car ( 33gtst ) when i first had exceedy button clutch in, it wasn't behave until things sit in and settle down ( like new engines run in ) so i think this would be the case?

. Second scenario :

I fcuked it up lol

. Third scenario :

There never was a tripple plate ..? but still why was it so hard..ect..until recently it become a ***** cat? ( mind that i never was putting the clutch in cos' i bought the car it came with it and we never open anything up to inspect )

triple plates dont suit road cars as they need to be removed to clean dust out of them all the time

id say thats what ur problem is

I think you'll find most competition oriented devices have side effects on road cars . I've never run multiplate clutches but have asked those who have on competition cars . Until recently I thought they were all about multiple small diameter friction plates to increase grip and reduce innertia or the flywheel effect . Another advantage of the things is the multiple plates have their own hubs on the gearboxes input shaft sharing the load , compared to a single plate single hub . By the sounds of things the down side of using them in road cars is cost and the rattle that the drive plate makes at idle . Sydneykid did mention recently that one of the aftermarket Jap mobs was doing one that didn't rattle so it must have some kind of pre-load spring . I know of at least one import GTR that had its removed for a more conventional clutch because its a road car .
