I'll be posting that up soon. I actually did launch the car once or twice. There is a warm up procedure for the clutch to prevent damage to the disks.

 

Just for kicks I did a weight comparison between the ACT HDSS clutch and flywheel, with a carbonetic twin plate. The weight should be about the same for a triple. The only additional weight would be the additional clutch disc and floater plate.

Clutch cover





Pressure plate





Clutch disc 1






Center hub






Floater plate





Clutch disc 2






Flywheel, and clutch basket






Act clutch

Pressure plate



Clutch Disc



Flywheel









So for the ACT that makes a total weight of 29.8 pounds.



The Carbonetic twin plate all together weighs

 

So how many miles were on it before you had to replace a few parts?

What did those parts cost you?

 

i previously had one that lasted 50k miles of constant abuse, and two people learning how to drive stick shift. I wanted to rebuild it but one of then vendors here quoted me about 1500 to rebuild, I paid 1650 at the time, so I decided to try a different brand. MikeB if you have a hook up let me know, its sitting in my basement and could use a rebuild.

 

this is likely the worst statement ATS has made concerning their clutch. these clutches hold fine when cold. yes they hold more when hot. problem is if you slip them on purpose to get heat in them it potentially puts far too much heat in the metal plates. once the metal plates warp the clutch dies pretty much instantly. I saw here on evom years ago many killed these on their first visit to track. two seconds of slip warm up is needed. four seconds can kill the clutch. bad idea to slip them if you ask me. they obviously hold up to tremendous mileage on the street. shame to kill them at the track.

iIF ANYONE HAS WELL USED CLUTCH I am in need of a parts clutch.

 

According to the instructions it isn't.

I have a triple that needs a rebuild, how would you know if the floater plates need to be replaced?

 

Is the clutch still in the car or have you removed it already?

 

Its off the car

 

Pmed you.

 

Hi can you give me info on where you get your parts for the Carbonetics triple plate clutch rebuild...also what is the cost for these parts... Thanks

 

Thanks for the post man that and MAPerformance suggesting this clutch really helps me decide on going with the Carbonetics triple carbon clutch when my exedy twin HD dies.

 

No problem. It really is a great clutch and I'm glad the write up helps.

Mike recommended me this clutch for my expected power level. I've been driving around on the streets with it and it feels great!

 

It's time you joined the 600 club!
