Twin Plate Clutch...Need opinion.

[lancer_ajai2]

Hi guys,

My clutch is slipin', so i'm planning to have it changed. I've got a good offer for a twin plate clutch, not sure of the brand (its cover is light green), have yet to inspect it throughly. I know for the power i'm making(e4 with std mods), a single plate would be more than enough but becos of the good offer for the twin plate, i decide to think twice

.

Anyway before i jump in and buy(or make a big mistake

), i need to know more about the characteristics of a twin plate clutch. A few q's

i) Is the engagemant really too hard and harsh as most people said? I'm used to the engagement of normal racing clutch(not hyper single), is it of much difference? Oh ya, my e4 is a daily driven.

ii) Would the twin plates wear out my syncros or clutch pump fast? Assuming i'm only doing normal driving (no high-rpm launches) with occasionally few occurences of "spirited driving"

For now thats all i can think of, I hope those using twin plates can share ur experiences with me(i'm really such a noob). I dun wanna make the mistake of buying de wrong clutch.

regards

bro..the evo 4 and above is the pull type of clucth...so using twin plate is a nightmare in daily traffic..different from vr4 and evo 3 and below..using push type...but the clutch will hold power..just unbearable sometimes in traffic..

I went to see the clutch this morning. Actually its a used Cusco twin plate. 1 things that bugs me are the clutch linings. Are they supposed to be "thin" ? CAuse i find em to be rather "thin" compared to conventional clutch linings. The mech said its supposed to be "thin" since got 2 plates but i prefer to get opinions from you guys. WHat do u guys think?

I've used hks gd-pro (got it frm the half-cut) n now using exedy...
yup they r thin..
n its kinda' freak me out at 1st, but i think the material that determines its capabilities..
but tell u what, its worth buying the twin plate clutch.. it wud last for at least 2+ to 3+ years..

but, whats the pull n push type? sorry lancer ajai2, interrupting in ur forum..

Its okay kriminalz. I myself dun really understand the push and pull type. So u sold off ur gd-pro izzit?

So ur now using exedy racing clutch right. Hows the performance ? BEtter than the gd pro? Is the engagement harder or softer than the gd-pro? Sorry for asking too much bro, i just dun wanna make the mistake of buying the wrong clutch.
