Just an update. Based on feedback, Tilton is working on making their Evo clutch units more "end-user friendly" for the do-it-yourselfers and for shops who don't have experience with Tiltons. To this end, we've given them some measurements so the clutch lines will start coming pre-made . Also, we will be testing a new "pedal stop kit" that is in development and should be available in a few more weeks to retrofit for customers who have already purchased clutch and flywheel assemblies.

 

"pedal stop kit" ???????

 

whats the deal with the pedal stop? I didn't use one it didn't feel like i would be over extending the HOB.

 

i would really like to see some kind of restrictor pill to put in there for easier daily driving...

i am with joey, i don't see a need for a pedal stop, mine works just fine without and it is not over extending the HRB, i checked the movement with some specs that one of Tilton's tech's gave me...

 

tilton has a one way restrictor but it will not improve daily driving. Its mostly for the track so it doesn't break ****. honestly this clutch is not for a typical daily driver. If you have to spend a bunch of time in bumper to bumper traffic you will have some trouble. it takes allot of concentration to drive it correctly.

 

Evo's may not need a stop because they have one from the factory.

 

It hasn't been necessary on the couple that we've installed, but it will be an extra piece of insurance for longevity and peace of mind. I'll post up more details within the next couple of weeks when we do the next install (a carbon-carbon).

 

I wish someone would document the pedal travel and HRB movement. Under the pedal in stock form, there is a black plastic pedalstop. There is no doubt some applications may need this, but I think in "time" we have confirmation that this does not apply to the Evo application. Hopefully we gather more info as we progress with additional Tiltons in the market. At this point they are hard to keep in stock due to supply.

 

It is not necessarily important to have a pedal stop. Ultimately it is important that the pedal doesn't travel the pressure plate too far and damage it. This can be accomplished by adjusting the rod at the pedal assembly to the correct engage/disengage point just as well as changing the pedal stop point. The problem is knowing where the proper point is.

I hope you guys understand. Even if you had a stop, if you adjust the release point too far up, the stop will not do you any good.

 

Hope we are talking about the same thing Dirk. We are speaking of the hydraulic release bearing being overstroked. Obviously it is a combination of pedal height adjustment and making sure it is not overstroking, a condition I have yet to hear about in the Evo Tilton application.

 

Yeah, same thing. If the release bearing is overstroked, the pressure plate is overstroked. I forgot that the release bearing is what can become a problem first if overstroked. I haven't heard of it being a problem on the EVO either, but if the pedal is misadjusted there is that potential.

This is not rocket science. If it grinds, raise the release point. If it releases above the middle of the stroke, lower it a bit. If the release point is adjusted without excess overtravel between the release point and the floor, then it is going to work fine. Dang it! Why am I doing customer service for Tilton? Buy an ACT and I call it good... OK, I feel better now. Just kidding of course. I am glad to help.

 

thanks act man

 

that is mainly what i am concerned about, the daily driving is not that bad, as i never drive in traffic, but it would be nice to get something in there to reduce drivetrain shock...

how do i get the restrictor?

 

well when I spoke with tilton it was something they were testing. you may just want to call the tech support hotline and see if they can provide you with a restrictor.

Anyone else have fun looking at people trying to move your car?

 

also, how long did you wait until you really got into it, i have 200 miles right now and i am dying to see what it can do...lol

and yes, people look at me all the time now, mainly because of the clutch chatter...
