? Mine worked pretty well. I think JK has one in his drag hatch or atleast DID in one of his cars. Couple people run them with no issues.... You grease the input shaft too much? Trust me, that will ruin a clutch kit in a hurry.

Z6 with 8.5:1 compression with a cheapo Autozone clutch (with a lifetime warranty mind you, I've already used it for a free clutch when I swapped the motor in) and 10lbs out of a 14b. Clutch holds strong no complaints after 5k. We'll see though, I may be getting a flywheel and puck clutch when I turn the boost up.

stock slipping clutch. It's the only thing that keeps my DSM on the road and have not have to load up on spare trannies or transfer cases.

What car and motor set up is it?

I'm guessing its a prelude from your name......


I have a xtd stg 3 in my a6 with a 60/48 @12psi and some drag radials and not a squeak of slipping. probably putting down around 215 hp at the wheels. My last setup put down 180tq and 175hp and now problem there eather.

Lol, its actually the opposite of what you said. The pressure plate is rated in PSI, with that pressure and a few other factors, # of disk contact surfaces, radius of gyration and disk material coefficient of friction, you can then calculate the tq capacity of the clutch. That still doesnt tell you how much HP the clutch is rated for. Not an attack on you though, just clearing that up.

thats good information to know. when ya gonna make a thread related to picking the correct clutch instead on answering 50 thousand questions? would be a very knowledgeable source coming from you.

did shitty automatics on gm cars count if so, an auto with 7psi on a 3800 v6===2 months of a slow death to the 440t4 that was stock with 135k.
