Title: Clutch Recommendations
Post by: flat4 on August 01, 2007, 08:53:42 AM

I finally pulled my engine last night to find out what was causing the vibration when I pressed the clutch petal. It turns out that the clutch engaging surface has been ripped away from the disk itself. It came out in about 6 pieces.

So what do you folks recommend I run for a disk?  I'm running a 2332 with a stage 2 kennedy.  What set ups do you have success with?

I use a stage two with a daiken disc, slips just enough to be safe :) While it's out check the mating surface of the flywheel and pressure plate to make sure they are flat - i've seen many that aren't lately.

look at the pressure plate and see if theres 4 hot spots. The shoe's do tend to go \"cone\" shaped with some miles.

There are some  high horsepower vdubs with super daikens.

The ACE copperhead would probably work quite well for you.

Or he could try the Black magic disc...eh Alan. ;)  :lol:

is that \"clutch PETAL\" similar to a dandelion petal Alan?   Maybe that's where your problem started.....
