Yeah, Tilton will refirbish your disks for a reasonable amount on money.

Clutches are hit and miss dude, none are foolproof, and every one is different from the next, no matter what the brand.

Usually when clutches start to slip in Evolutions it's not from a stop, it is generally when the car builds boost, exactly like you explain.

Tiltons are not designed for high engagement. If you raise your clutch pedal, you will overstroke the hydraulic release bearing and damage your clutch.

Is is a hybrid or twin cerametallic?

ya but the car has like 4 or 5 drags on it and i dont drive it hard at all. plus its only got like 5 or 6k on it no way in hell i need a new clutch.

thanks smokedmustang for the help, so here is my last question haha.

I losen the nut and then turn the push rod clockwise 2 turns (12mm wrench on the wrench point) but is it clockwise if im looking streight at it as if i were sitting in the seat or clockwise if i was under it and looking up at it?

You are listening to advice for a single disc application. You will end up voiding your warranty due to improper adjustment. It is supposed to engage near the floor and you are supposed to remove the return spring so the pedal sits lower.

for your mods, tilton is way way way too overboard. you will end up shattering your driveline parts. ask Jon Ripple at TRE

edit: i thought I read tripple plate. just ignore me

There is nothing wrong with a tilton, nor will it explode driveline parts. Use common sense. If you would not drop the clutch at 7000rpms on a stock clutch, you should not drop it at 7000rpms on an aftermarket clutch.

The quickest E.T.s are 90% run on tilton clutches. Nascar and F1 use Tiltons.

Is this the same for the stock clutch? My stock clutch just started slipping like 2 days ago the same way his does, anything over half throttle and not when down shifting or upper RPM's.. Im going to be purchasing the Exedy Twin plate here in a few weeks but needed to be able to last untill then... (maybe make it through the import shoot out ) at the track on friday too.. Waited all summer for this day and refuse to miss it (even if i have a flatbed waiting for me)

Anyways, is there any stock adjustment like the tilton one that may prolong or make slipping dissapear for the stock clutch? Thanks (sorry for heading off topic)

Yours will likely wear out faster than a twin. The stock clutch once it starts to slip, deteriorates very rapidly, like 1-2 weeks tops.

I have an EXEDY MM022HD the new cerametallic twin disc in stock that I will give away for a great price to anyone interested.

Ships same day as ordered.

There is no adjustment to make the Tilton last longer. Adjusting the pedal will do nothing on this particular clutch. If your clutch slipped you need to replace or it or have it rebuilt. If I were you I would try to get the clutch out as soon as possible to avoid any further damage. If you damage the clutch plates or flywheel it will be much more costly to refurbish.

I am as big of an EXEDY and ACT Dealer as I am of a Tilton dealer. Also sell ATS-Across carbon units and CUSCO.

There is only so many characters allowed in a signature and not everyone can deal Tilton.

I never said there was anything wrong with them. But we both know, for his mods, the tripple plate would be overkill. TRE told me it would grab too hard and that the clutch I had in my car was perfect for my mods.

Now if I got a gt35r, stroker, ported head, aem ems, alky etc (ultimate goal) tilton-triple plate would be perfect for me after upgrading my tc.

I had just originally misread his post, thus the edit and retraction of post. I said nothing about them being bad. mostly i meant it was too good.
