Clutch issues...

[RAW]

ok ill take some pics when i take a close look at it in case i can\'t figure it out.
Davehg helped me remove it, he might remember what it is if he\'s reading this?

cool. will i need other bits and pieces like bearings as well ,or will i be able to use the existing ones? only just familiarising myself with this clutch business!...

right here are some pics, I haven\'t removed one section from the bell housing yet so couldn\'t see behind it, but I could not see any manufacturer names anywhere so far.
First pic is the piece inside the bell housing, and the second and third pics are of either side of the plate.

Sorry, but it looks like a std clutch to me. Twin plate cluthes are exactly that two seperate clutch plates with a centre transfer plates, a cover and usually uses a thinner/lightweight flywheel.

that was quick! what max power is a standard clutch rated at? should i wait for an upgraded option or do you think a standard will be ok for mainly road/occasional track?

cheers

I asked Miguel or Gareth that very same question before.  And learnt that on Miguel\'s old set up(when he was still running twins), he was putting down quite a bit of power over standard(330, 350??) without any problem.   :Thumbs-up

As Paul says, it\'s a totaly stock "renault" clutch.

What mods have you got as I can see no signs of slipping or blueing.

I would say you can either put this one back if the drive plate thickness is O/K or refit a new stock assembly.

lol, the renault box was the closest flat surface to hand!

This isn\'t the clutch with problems clive, it is one I am trying to sell to replace the problem clutch.

This clutch was holding onto 275 rwhp without any issues, and yes it was mated to a lightened flywheel too. It looks in good nick, so is still available if wanted RAW.

I was just told it was uprated, having never seen a clutch before I had no idea! Every day is a school day!

Surely standard/stock clutches should handle anything up to 350rwhp no problems?

Good luck WM, hope it does not hurt your wallet too much! tbh I\'d be sure you have def interest on your exedy twin plate before going ahead with this, would be pretty rubbish if no-one wants it once its out!
