I read through another thread started by evodude where he shaved .025" off of the flywheel side of the QM discs and was able to double the life of the clutch. I know that QM released a new clutch not too long ago and I wanted to find out if the new version implemented the shaved down hubs, or if this process would still have to be done by a 3rd party machinist?

 

bump for answers.

 

Just got off the phone with Adam over at MAP and the new QM clutches will be coming out in about a week. They will also have a newly designed hub that is thinner to address the issues seen with the prior design and forgo the necessity of milling down the hubs.

 

so if i have an old version, would you say take the fly and hubs to get .025" shaved off? its not in the car yet so now would be the time. whatcha think"?

 

I think I should have waited to get my QM til this new version comes out. Oh well. At least I'm pretty sure that when I need to rebuild mine, that I can use the new version's rebuild kit.

 

If you have the older version then the concensus is to machine .025 off the flywheel side.

 

im very intersted in this.. Details on the shaving plz

 

The old style you can shave. It works. Guy on here tested it.

The new style is a completely different design that cannot have the same issue as the current model.

The new style QM also has more input shaft spline engagement. Win-win. Buy the new QM if you're on the fence. I've been waiting since January for the new QM. It was only a month away 6 months ago. So now they tell me 2 weeks...must be another 3 months. I'm certainly not holding my breath.

 

^^^my thoughts exactly, it would be nice if it actually came out. I need a new clutch, its either this or the tripple.

 

The triple has a higher MOI... won't shift as well. This twin has an exceptionally high torque capacity...so IMO I see no reason to go to a triple

It would be nice to see some pictures of the NEW style QM twin for the Evo.

 

I second this motion!

 

when you make more tq then the twin will hold, then you have to find somthing else.
which is why im waiting for the new qm or doing the tripple

 

How much torque do you make?

 

Bump for a release date.

 

The new QM is a 8.25 not a 7.25, which means heavier and more streetable.

If you like the QM for its lightweight, def don't bother waiting for the new clutch.
