:( sucks about the clutch. I bet its a spring rolling around in there.

We should know for sure in short order here. COBB wants him to go with a 3-port BCS instead of the MBC for dyno tuning so a Grimspeed will be added shortly here too.

I told him to also look into the CM FX350 clutch material as well; it seems to be a new upgrade vs. the FX300.

Can he just keep his pressure plate then and just swap out disks?

We reused the pressure plate & flywheel this time around, but it all depends on if there's any damage once we pull it apart.

For how cheap that clutch is and the hassle of pulling the transmission out, I'd say replace both, but hey maybe drinking beers while working on his car is like a relaxation thing down there :)

If it were me, I would never reuse anything, but not my car, money, nor choice ;) I am going to petition for everything (complete clutch kit & flywheel friction ring) to be replaced this time around to avoid any unnecessary failures.

Any update?

More clutch problems...got the tranny back on Saturday only to have to take it off again on Sunday. We're fukkin pros at unclipping the TOB now.

Dyno tune with COBB is scheduled for Saturday 3/23 at 9am so we have about 2 1/2 weeks to get it running and finish break-in.

Hey, at least you have nice weather for your tranny activities.

I was all amped to work on my car on Sunday... went out to the garage in 30 degree weather, NOPE, and went back inside.

Yup, it's not the clutch itself though. As far as I can tell, the CM discs are high quality and their PP's are just modified stock Exedy.

New clutch setup on the way: CCI Stage 3.5 segmented ceramic clutch and CCI 10.8lb flywheel.

goodhart 03-05-2013 11:48 AM

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 
3.5? So is that like a stg 3 disk and a stg 4 pressure plate?

Kracka 03-05-2013 12:31 PM

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 
Stage 3 is what I had in my IX which is segmented Kevlar, this is a step up in power holding with segmented ceramic, but will be more streetable than the Stage 4 ceramic 6-puck. All CCI clutch kits for the 8/9/X now include their 3000lb HD pressure plate.

Long story short, the CM FX300 disc he bought isn't compatible with the PP from his CM FX400 kit, and his FX400 disc is defective with a loose hub. Going the CCI route was the quickest thing possible since MAP had it all in stock while Andrew waits for CM to inspect and replace his FX400 disc, which will then be sold with the matching PP and TOB. So, if anyway wants a brand new CM FX400 disc with barely used PP and new TOB... ;)

Gotcha. Sounds like a nice combo!
