C'mon guys. Who else is coming? Don't miss out. It's gonna be a blast.

 

Im there with a handfull of rods to throw everywhere.

 

Sweet...thanks lol

 

If that is so then how would everything set if the materials never get a chance to wear in evenly. Wouldn't that create uneven contact patches and ultimately lead to premature slipping later on down the line? Lets not forget this clutch just set me back a little over $2,000 and I'm no where near you guys baller status. I think I'm going to just drive the car for atleast 2k miles or more before I give that clutch hell.

 

I think street driving it from stopping and going and traffic and all that is just melting away 2000 miles. These twins and triple clutches are meant to pop in and go.

 

+1 every twin/triple disk companies says the same.

 

ceramic and metal clutches never "seat" into each other. they constantly "grab" each other. metal friction surfaces are not friendly to metal to metal friction. thats why anytime you remove clutch after use it always looks bad in pictures and in person. the metal friction surfaces are always torn up. always wavey. never smooth looking. and all the metal parts are always warped from the heat of metal to metal friction. look closely and you can actually see the metal being "dragged/stretched". results in a washboard type surface. this type of clutch was never meant to be a long wearing street friendly clutch. its a violent grabbing, short lived, off road rally clutch by definition. it just happens to be needed for high torque AWD car because it does hold massive torque.

so there is only one thing that increases clutch life of this clutch. do no slip it. in affect driving for 2000 miles is just wearing the clutch out. every start from stop as well as every smooth shift, requires slip. this wears the clutch out by no fault of its own. just the nature of the beast.

 

I'm still going to take at easy with the car for a little, I really don't need any more issues from it for a while... However I can dyno my wifes car lol

I will see if I can get her new acuator in time.

 

Should I add you to the list Miguel?
