are these sprung?

 

what will a rebuild kit cost for this clutch? and what all does the rebuild kit include? just trying to get an idea on the total package for this clutch long term?

 

I use tilton Carbon carbon also. The best there is period.

I really wish I had gotten the PM I requested for pricing in the other clutch thread. I'll be ordering one of these from you if I'm able to cancel my Exedy order with another company.

 

How long should we expect these clutches to last?

 

sooo, take nothing away from Tilton by no means...

if converting back to a push type of clutch, would we see a failure of the thrust bearings again aka crankwalk like in the 2g DSMs?? i wonder if any testing has been done to verify that no crankwalk has occured due to the push type of clutch conversion. the current evo 8 has a pull type of clutch....hmmmm

 

There is no evidence to show that there is an issue with crankwalk, I wouldn't worry about it. Remember the ATS clutches and such also do the push style conversion.
The crankwalk issues with the 2g mitsubishi cranks is a whole other issue which seems to have more to do with the metallurgy of the crank coupled with poor machining at the factory.

a very long time. I have had one in my car for 4 years now. I sent it back to get checked out. they replaced one disc and milled the PP and it cost $190 and it looks brand new. The car has countless Drag Launches, Street Driven and road raced. oh and did i mention the car stays at 30psi on C16 so it can handle the abuse.

 

Is this pricing still in effect? My twin Exedy has been great but this winter I am doing a 35r-stroker combo and really want a good clutch.

 

Yes it is. The clutch will hold up great to daily driving.

 

i tried to call and order one of these, sending you a PM...

 

Thanks for the order

Carbons in stock now, hybrids and cerametallics eta end of this month.

 

no problem, looking forward to it...

 

Just going back here to flush out some details. The clutch rebuilds are typically going to cost in the $200 - $400 price, plus shipping. The exception is the Carbon-Carbon which comes with a replacement pressure plate with the initial purchase. Basically, you get a "rebuild kit" free with the CFA. After that, it goes back to Tilton for machining and you start over with the initial pressure plate.

So, for the purchase price plus approximately $200, you get 4 "uses" out of the carbon-carbon. This really does make the clutch an incredible value. It's funny to say about a clutch that costs $3500+, but it's true.

Here is a short list of the advantages of the Tilton in plain English:

• 7.25" clutch assembly = low inertia for improved shifting and synchro wear.
• Light weight - the carbon clutch itself weighs in at 6.35 pounds on our scale (the flywheel was 10.90). Again - lighter total weight and more centrally located versus the "full size" clutch assemblies.
• Hydraulic release bearing; self-adjusting for wear AND it gets rid of the crappy OEM-style release clip.
• True carbon-on-carbon. This will present the most consistent shifting as the clutch wears. Carbon-on-carbon remains more true than the carbon-on-metal clutches in which the metal tends to warp.
• The carbons come with a replacement pressure plate to compensate for disc wear. Basically, you get a free rebuild kit with the purchase of a carbon.

Expect the prices on this stuff to go up at the beginning of next year.

[Edit: Grammar and wording to make some things more clear.]

 

Only 1 Tilton Carbon/Carbon left guys.
