What makes you think you need to replace your trans and not just the clutch disk?

Re: Clutch explosion
 

If the input shaft or bearings are worn, the vibration has been known to obliterate disks. Also, I am unsure if all my gear ratios are correctly matched between components. At this point, trans is halfway out. I spoke with Clutchnet and they quoted me $510 shipped, for a 2600# or any weight higher (so I'm thinking 2900#) and the 6 puck sprung clutch disk. Yes expensive, but I love a nice clutch.

On a side note I drew up how one simple servo motor and V3 Link could transform a 5 speed into a F1 style transmission and I figured out how to program it too but I'll get to that later when I have it all typed out and drawn.

Re: Clutch explosion
 

what pressure plate do you have in there now or is that xtd too?

Re: Clutch explosion
 

FWIW I ran an ACT 2900 pressure plate with a clutchnet 6 puck sprung disc. That combo worked great for me, bought the whole setup from MAP

Re: Clutch explosion
 

You're putting way too much thought into this. Did it drive funky before it let loose? I would just replace the clutch, put it back together and drive it. Maybe give everything else a quick look, but what makes you think you have these weird issues?

Re: Clutch explosion
 

I am running an XTD white stage 4 pressure plate.

Interesting, good to know, I didn't realize MAP sold clutchnet, thanks.

It didn't drive particularly weird no, but I'm not experienced enough to be sure that things like bearing wear etc. I do plan on just a new disk and reassembly and at this point debating the clutch plate until I need more HP capacity. Right now I'm about max HP on the stock trans but I also don't plan on adding any more power than I have until other priorities are taken care of.

Re: Clutch explosion
 

It wasn't something they sold on their site or anything. I called them and told them exactly what I wanted (ACT2900 w/ Clutchnet). They just sourced the parts and got them to me. If you want a similar combo you might not find it on their site, just give them a call.

Re: Clutch explosion
 

Okay sounds good I wondered. I'll definitely call them tomorrow morning! Unfortunately the ACT plates are sold out but maybe I can convince them to separate a kit and sell one. Or I'll see if I can buy a competition clutch stage 5 plate.

Re: Clutch explosion
 

So I am waiting on a call back from MAP. They said they haven't carried any clutchnet nor have they ever been able to get it. I think this is the poor knowledge I get when I don't speak with the senior sales guys there. (There is more to that statement... :nope: ) I digress, I did find out they can get the CC Pressure plates separate from the kits, however they are $280 and not worth it on their own compared to the kit pricing. Also, they apparently are all the same number so therefore all the same # of pressure. Interesting. So they factor the disk material to be their determining factor in the kit's capacity. This gives me confidence in my XTD stage 4 2300# pressure plate if CC uses anything similar. Updates to come. Trans seems 98% fine. :)

Update: I just ordered the clutchnet 6 puck sprung. Woohoo can't wait for a decent disk!

Update: MAP called. Spoke with Oleg as well. Situation handled, parts coming and hopefully sooner than later.

Re: Clutch explosion
 

New goodies finally came. Time to get going!

Re: Clutch explosion
 

Clutchnet disk and Comp PP?

Re: Clutch explosion
 

Yep! The pressure plate runs 2700# and the disk, well, you guys know the disk. I look forward to seeing how well it works and I'm sure it's miles ahead of my old setup. I'm saving the XTD plate for another idea later on...

Re: Clutch explosion
 

Never heard of anyone running that combo, but good luck with it!
