put the S/S clutch in from Racing Beat not so long ago. for my TII
i have had the stock and the Centerforce dual friction before..
now the RB is slipping too.
i have a long list of mods,,,street port Stage 3 hybrid turbo FMIC lightened steel flywheel .i think i am pushing about 300hp..
will see @ socal rx dyno day
slipping is mostly noticable in higher gears.

was wondering if i could use pressure plate from center force with RB disc?? i liked pedal feel with center force compared to RB.

was thinking about ACT.

I was thinking about using Pressure plates and disc's between brands.
Is that possible?

 

Was the entire clutch setup new, or are you reusing parts from others? If you are going through complete clutch setups that fast you are either not prepping and cleaning the parts properly before installation, or not breaking in the clutch properly, or both.

Did you have the flywheel turned?

And yes, you probably can interchange the pp.

 

I will hook you up with something better and very reasonable. call me. Told ya before that I get my set up from Action Clutch. They built clutches for RB except on street strip, they have to use Ferodo linings. Call me.

 

The combination of a modded motor and a light flywheel makes street driving really hard on race type clutches.

I have a light flywheel with 6 puck copper/ceramic clutch.
I hope to get maybe 20,000 miles from it.

What seems to help in daily driving is gentle lauches with the clutch fully locked at <2K, and no slip on gear changes.

Then, when you really want to go, you can thrash the crap out of it and it will be there.

I haven't broken the front diff mount - YET..

 

So was the flywheel recut???

the fly wheel was new with the engine rebuild.. with a centerforce i had before i did the rebuild.
the centerforce disc went to **** and the frition material went to **** . then i install the RB .
i had about 4000mile with the new flywheel before the centerforce went.

All my clutch replacements are done by Rotary Power in Gardena..

I have also felt the clutch being sticky and have had to pull it off the floor twice.

 

What do you DO to those poor things?

Either that clutch disc was abused, or it's a major manufacturer quality problem...

You don't mention break-in - what did you do for break-in?


-Ted

 

i did 500-700 miles just like a new motor and not going above 4000 r[m and not boosting more than 3-4psi

 

Okay, who gave you those instructions for a clutch break-in?

the idea was to seat it correctly. and not apply huge amount of pressuare unitl it was worn in.
the drving consisted maily of stop and go.
