in drag racing which is a better clutch....push or pull type?

what is the difference?

advantage?

dis-advantage?



Push Type Clutch VS. Pull Type Clutch.........(which is better for 500whp+)

 

the pull type clutches tend to pop the clip rings out of place causing you to remove the tranny just to clip it back on while push type you will never have that poblem

 

^ why do they pop out?
Can you convert the pull type to push type? how?
I have Exedy Twin HD.

 

i wouldn't be able to tell you y they pop out but they tend to pop out during launches.....ams sells a conversion for the triple disk carbon...not to sure if it is also for the twin disk and it is around 4,000

 

it is also for the twin http://www.amsperformance.com/store/...oducts_id=1897

 

^^^^^ story of my life. I popped the clip on my Exedy It is caused from fast/hard shifts and launches. A simple solution is to use 3 rings behind the clip if you can locate them. But I just installed a Tilton Twin Carbon and all I can say is wow. I will never go back to a pull type clutch. Look into either the AMS kit or buy a push type like the Tilton.

 

Got a pic of those "rings" Most Wanted?

I heard push type clutches last longer than pull type clutches... any opinion on this?

If this is true Im buying a quartermaster push type twin plate clutch for $1550.

 

+1 more info on rings please

 

I'm rebuilding my exedy twin to a triple and also ordered the push conversion.

I've been told that converting to push will help in making it easier to slip the exedy clutches which do tend to want to bite.

 

I will try to find a pic. The install calls for one ring, using 3 seems to help the pressure on the clip. We tried it and it worked great, no more issues. The ring looks like a large thin washer, but is wavy all around instead of flat. Hard to explain, but I'll try to find a pic.

 

After having to remove all the PP bolts through the shift fork opening due to not being able to release the clip that holds the bearing ..........i'm very happy to have swapped over

I'm running a Quarter Master Twin from Devo Tuning.

I'll start a thread for my initial impression later tonight.

 

Lets us know how many miles/ launches will it last.... I was gona get that before.

 

I sure will.

I don't think it's the clutch now that's going to have problems ........but the trans/tc

 

You are making a wise choice.....lightning quick shifts and dont have to worry about the death ring popping off. The uqarter master twin is a damn good clutch
