If it seemed thin when you got it, might have been a good idea to check the thickness and see if it was in spec and look into warrantying it then. Im glad you had another one laying around to get you going again. |

I didnt have my car that long after I installed mine but like you had no problems or thought that it was a bad product.If it was a dailey driver you have to consider that in traffic sometimes without thinking people tend to "ride" the clucth wich leads to premature wear.Not saying that you wore it out prematurely but I sometimes found myself doing this without thinking :-\

Secondly I HAD to buy a 6 (or lower) puck because I've tried two full disc setups, an ACT and a Centerforce DF and both organic discs slipped like a mofo.

I brought it to a machine shop that does a shitload of honda work and I know they did the proper step.

NEUMAN yeah it's a daily driver and I try my best to not 'ride the clutch'. Honestly it always grabbed so tight that it made it very difficult to make it slip. Obviously I could rev the ---- out of it and make it slip. I guess I'll see how long this current 6 puck lasts so we can compare. |
Re: My Clutch Specialities Clutch after 14 months and New setup PICS
When I first saw a clutch specialties clutch I thought they looked thin too. Then I put one in my turbo HF for 4k miles of torture, then I sent it to Jeff for the weeze all motor deal. I don't know how many miles went on it then, but then he sent it back to me and now we've put it on Cray's car (soon to be turbo). I think I'm convinced. ^-^

Re: My Clutch Specialities Clutch after 14 months and New setup PICS
one thing you have to keep in mind is what a clutch is designed for.
1. stock oe replacement style clutch. designed for low power, long life. 2. now you have your power clutches, ie 6 pucks...etc. these are made with performance in mind. It shouldnt be at all that shocking to realize that you will give up alot of that 'long life' stuff when you're stepping into a clutch designed primarily for holding power. personally id be prety content with a clutch like this lasting 14 months, and id probably just get another one of the same. |
