I have been told I need a new floater plate to.

I have tried contacting my local exedy dealer (in new zealand) and they have no freakin clue that exedy did rebuild kits for anything....

 

want to get something like this done?





flick me a PM on MMC and i'll see if i can help

Cheers, Mike

 

you are the mantis mike =)

you have PM on mmc buddy

 

That ring welded on the pp02??? I didn't think you could turn that plate. And how do you intend on re fastening the springs on the middle plate?

 

you cant go from carbon to anything i found out today lol i have a defective exedy carbon its like 1100 to rebuild it might as well buy anew clutch. also you cant go from regular to carbon without replacing everything found out today from strictly modifed and his exedy rep

 

^^how is that possible?? you can go from normal to carbon but not the otherway around??

 

yes



Huh?

They aren't needed for the clutch to function, it's mainly for reducing chatter

 

TYPO lol cant i corrected it

 

^^ ok that sucks... =( damn it!!! Thanks Rock

 

no problem save you the time and headache i had

 

Was the plate manufactured like that? I've never seen one like this. I thought it may be for resurfacing purposes.

 

no, it was modified to shift the pivot point and increase clamping pressure.
the clamping pressure was moved from 2400lbs to ~3900lbs.
this allows for higher torque holding without the need for high friction clutch material. So it still is easy to slip, and you wont destroy your pressure plates.

 

How did you calculate the tollerances to know the height and thickness of the ring? Also did you have it balanced?

 

i didn't, it was modified by a clutch reconditioning shop.
They have done this modification many many times.
it's already been proved on a 420+kwatw (560whp 1.0cf) Mazda GTX (with evo running gear and engine)
Yes it was balanced, along with my crank and crank pulley etc. Full rotating assembly.

 

as above
