Running a Carbonetic Single Blade Carbon clutch.... So far its been amazing
I do regular launches and drags, up to around so far 150 street launches
and about 5 outings at the drag strip, done around 10,000kms on it.
Car makes around 280kw and best time is 11.8@122mph, with my shifting crap
due to limitation on a crunching gearbox, i have since now put in another 5 speed box
with unknown internals, as the gearbox code says its a 6 GSR, but its very short ratio
Not sure if im gonna have a slower time if i have to shift into 5th gear but so far
it tops out at 190km/h in 4th at 8,300rpm... gonna take it to the drags and see how i
go with the new box.

I was using Carbonetic Twin Plate.
Installed on 13-May-2013, its was new unit sold form local dealer in East Malaysia.
Only clock approximate 4000km without launching the ride.
Since the ride under break-in process for the engine (Major internal parts upgrade).
Just drive slow less then 4000rpm occasionally.
Most of the the time, the ride just sit at the porch for 1-2 month.
Around November 2013, the ride produce weird noise/sound while engaging the clutch.
Decide to remove the gearbox and do the inspection.
Its seems the Teeth Center section of the plate worn out.
Loosing the grip on Gear Spline section. Luckily the Gear spline on the Gearbox still in good condition.
Very disappointed on the product or probably bad luck for me.
The dealer and mechanic pointing each other to blame.
Big lost for me...time & money
Now, I use OGURA Super Single... problem solve.

Carbonetics twin disc clutch throw out bearing release
I have to ring in on the same note, clutch is butter smooth.
Drivability is great and the fatigue factor is non existent, you could drive this all day in traffic and not get tired of it.
But we all know you bought this book for the big shiny pictures so...
A gift real special so take off the top
Take a look inside it's a clutch kit in a box.
It's in a box
All the components that came with the kit, clutch/flywheel assy, pull throw bracket for the slave cylinder and the throwout bearing push conversion piece.
According to the paperwork it uses a toyota supra throwout bearing... so now ya got a little yota in yur evo haha
Assembly laid apart, pressure plate, friction disk and flywheel. This setup really is surprisingly lightweight, the whole flywheel clutch combo feels like it weighs just a little more than the stock flywheel.
Stock on right light on left
Original "pull" type throwout setup
New "push" type setup. One thing I didn't like was that Carbonetics specifies the removal of the felt pads and return springs from the throwout arm, which caused me to worry about possible rattles. I am sure Carbonetics has tested this setup to death and for sure when assembled it was a non issue, quiet as a mouse. Notice also per Carbonetics throwout fork is flipped from stock.
New push and old pull throwout setups.
Pull
push, no more screwdriver in the hole trick.
Slave cylinder bracket. You have to take the slave cylinder and reverse the supply and bleed fittings as well as machine down the position the bleeder fitting is going into as the boss is too tall so the bleeder won't seat properly causing a slight leak and fluid loss/ bleed down. Then the slave is mounted on the transmission facing the opposite direction from it's stock configuration. the slave pushes that bracket which in turn pulls the throwout fork which then pushes the fingers on the pressure plate disengaging the clutch.... rocket science.
I neglected to get a picture of it installed, which I shall rectify this week hopefully.
It looks like it means business...

Hey I am new here and have the same clutch in my car. I am trying to remove my transmission and have no idea how to remove the throw out bearing. On the stock clutch you use the screwdriver in the hole but on this style i have no clue. Please help
Looks like you don't need to remove the throw out bearing, it is push style so it's not locked into the pressure plate like the pull style.
