Clutch’s!

Hey guys I have a quick question. I’ve converted my FDs clutch to a push type while I was running a ORC single, now I’m upgrading to a twin and having issues finding a push type. The question is will a FCs clutch fit? Seems all the dimensions are the same and the only difference is the pressure plate is a push? Just trying to find out before I buy one and see. If anyone has any other recommendations please let me know.

It's hard to say if some other push-style clutch will work with the push setup you have. Very few people have used those setups, especially in the US, so knowledge is pretty scarce.

I'd just go back to a pull clutch, there's a wide variety of clutches that will work fine with the stock clutch fork setup for most any power level.

I don't have an answer to your question but do you mind describing what the ORC clutch is like? I have one that I haven't put in yet, but am wondering it feels or compared to say an ACT HDSS or stock. Thanks!

i had a osgiken twin plate in my car that was push type. it was the ts2b. it grabbed like hitting a brick wall and was unbearable during normal driving. i would dread having to press the pedal to the point that i would just slow down enough to let the car roll in 2nd gear. im using the hdss in my car now and its much better. the grab is a lot more gentle and the pedal stiffness is about 70% the same. its comfortable even in stop and go.

to answer the op: theres no real reason to switch to the pull type. i used the ts2b since i already had it and wanted the cool multi plate noise it makes when your foot is on the pedal. keep it simple and use a clutch designed for the pull type. there are many options. the hdss is pretty good and is very popular, same with the exedy hyper single.
