i do not want the pull type.


bump for more info from others

 

I too have the Devo/Quarter Master Twin on my 6speed Evo IX the good it's great at the track it alows very fast smooth shifting it's very easy to launch with, also very smooth and it's easy to slip as well. Now the bad depending on your preference it is a noisy clutch when taking off regularly it will squeal upon engagement and when it chatters it does shake the entire car like its stuttering. You also have to rev the car a little higher than usually because since it's so light the revs tend to drop rapidly so it easily stalls. Question is, is it daily drivable yeah but personaly I wouldn't do it, it's a pain in the *** specially if you live in an area with alot of inclines. Great for the track dough my car is strictly a Drag car so it barely see's the street so it's ok for me.

 

Not to be the ***-monkey in your thread, but the "broken clips" are really a non-issue. Esp when you add an extra wave spring or two from your old OE clutch to the Exedy.

Just wanted to throw that out there before all the "interweb" jockeys start spreading unfounded rumors about the Exedy HD twin... it's been good to me (second set of discs), and if it were as inexpensive to rebuild as the QM, I'd still be running it without a doubt.

Alas though, JUST the Exedy discs are about $490-500. Take that into account, and the QM starts looking a lot better. Esp when for the QM you can get the a new floater plate, new pressure plate, and discs for the same price of JUST the Exedy discs.

 

I agree 100%

My personal choice and recomendation if you want a great smooth clutch that wont pop off is HKS twin disk - really a great unit for the $

 

I agree the pop off failure rate on exedys is very slim to non existant considering how many are out there. However for those afflicted the HKS converts it to a TOB that wont pop off

 

Hi, I have the triple carbon exedy as well. How many miles have you had your exedy for? I was really contemplating on the AMS pull to push conversion kit but being a street car that does not get driven a lot is it necessary?

 

can sombody tell me the best place to buy qm twin disc ...

 

Like everyone else says its a great clutch for racing, not a good clutch for daily driving. Yes you can daily drive its not that hard i actually feel its easier to drive than a exedy twin once u get used to it. If u do decide to daily drive it be ready to rebuild it quite often depending on your power as well. No way will this clutch last you 30,000 miles like the exedy twin disc. if you strictly drag race the car with no daily driving the clutch might last you two seasons at the most. Ive gone through about 6 rebuilds in last two years. But i refuse to switch to any other clutch because it is amazing for racing, 1.4 60fts!!!!!!! the clutch will handle up to 600ft lbs of torque maybe more.

 

I've had the clutch for a very long time now and by far the best clutch in my opinion. Hard shifts on topend shift like butter, easy to daily drive, when you press the clutch pedal in clutch makes some noise and sometimes sqeeks during normal driving but its all normal. I daily drive the clutch aswell and its perfectly fine do that over exedy

How many miles do you have on the QM clutch?

Don't worry bro your not being mean in anyway with your reply. You know I take everything you say serously and truthful

Thanks everyone for your comments. Keep them coming.

 

QM clutch will last about 10-20K miles depending on how you drive and your car's power level of course. Current one is approaching almost 10,000. I will soon be doing a rebuild to have a fresh clutch for next season before my car is put in storage for winter time

Got your pm. Sorry for the double question. My bad.

 

Here's my 2 cents. had it for 500miles. at first i can drive it but now its alot harder to take off in first gear. i must agree with most of the posts above, it's great for the track but anything else...well lets just say that i won't want to DD it EVER!!! not even for a weekend cruise. the noise is unbearable and it has all kinda of noises...sometimes i think something is rubbing or not enough lube (feel broken). i know the Evo is a "race" car and i do hit up the track quite often but i also do want to take a cruise sometimes, not anymore...its a pain to drive in traffic and like everyone said inclines/hills are a pain as well.

it's my fault for not doing more research...i did roughly 2 to 3 months of research and everyone said this is better and cheaper than x-twin which it is if you just track your car. everyone said it's loud and noisy but i didn't realize how loud and annoying it is till now.

Track Car then yes go for it, handle alot of power and real smooth shifting but for me it doesn't make up for the noise and the harshness of shifting (downshifting) gears especially in first gear (take off, don't ever downshift to first gear). if you like driving around town stay away from this clutch.

Looks like I may have to sell this clutch then... A few months ago, a couple of individuals gave me the impression that this clutch could be used for daily driving and assured me that it isn't that bad

 

Evodan - You already know my position on this clutch from my write-up as well as the other thread floating around.

Once again i think the main reason the longevity is compromised when daily driving it is due to the fact that in order to drive around some-what smoothly you'll need to slip the QM much more than the Exedy since it has no springs in the hub to counter-act the shock of engagement.

So if you end up driving it around the city especially on inclines and such then i'm sure the clutch life will decrease substantially.


Good luck with your choice and hope it works out for your set-up !
