We just hear stuff from time to time. One customer here has a car that is undrivable. It might be due to other issues but still I think there is room for more than one clutch option.

I don't see how a flywheel and a pulley would have issues with eachother. They are completely separate parts. Could you elaborate?

I agree, having more then one option would be excellent. It may even lead to some competetiveness that could drive prices down

There were threads from awhile back about the CT clutch and underdrive pulleys not playing nicely with each other.

, I will elaborate... with a link.

You should look into it beforehand.. so nothing like that ever happens again and people telling you that their **** broke. (:

HOW MUCH $$$$

1hotcls6

$1500 stage 4 w/ 6puck clutch

MrHeeltoe

I'm not buying that dude....the effect of taking too much dampening off the crank might produce excess bearing wear (maybe drop 20-30% of life of a motor that with theoretically go forever if well maintained), but there is certainly no way in my mind this would cause damage to the clutch. It's a little absurd to be honest.

Absurd or not, are you planning on running the stock pressure plate (please say no)?

cl8trr

No issues ever with the ur pulleys and cm flywheel

^how many miles?.

CL-Future

I would buy an aftermarket clutch kit today if I knew it would hold the power on a boosted CL.

MrHeeltoe

We are actually getting some info on this kit very shortly that should allow us to push it forward again.

hmmm another option for me. but $1300? can get a stage 4 form CM for $1100. and i plan on pushing more than what was stated my mrhealtoe. we will wait and see. my clutch is slipping more and more under hard shifts.

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

More than 450-500 ft-lbs to the flywheel? What sort of monster are you building?

poisx7

iTrader: (1)

A REAL monster i guesssssssssssss.
prob 400whp +plus to the wheels but then that is more than enuff on a heavy FWD IMO.

back to the main topic *whtz new on this clutch setup ???? GB****

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

im going to the wheels. a minimum of 420whp and 360wtq. if i can id like to keep it at 450whp and 400wtq on the safe side.

i think what we need is a clutch disc. the actual disc is all thats poorly designed in our trannys.

a good ceramic disc will be cheap, increase shift grab, and prevent slipping and premature wear.

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

Yeah and it is harder to drive smooth as well...The self adjusting pressure plate used does not have enough clamping force from what I can tell.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

^ Thats my beef as well. Ill take a firmer pedal if it gives me more clamping pressure. I actually like when the clutch requires some muscle.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

get an g35 manual so you will need a muscle

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Huh?

So has anyone figured out a good clutch setup to put in there car? i have a boosted cl and put a CM fx300 setup in it after about 3500 miles it is starting to slip. i dont know if i should go to the fx400 6 puck or is there something better that will last and hold up?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

stage 4, 4 puck if u drive ur car hard

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

pucks drive like crap though! I am going to drop something soon I think...it won't be cheap but we will be able to take payments.

im interested...my CL-S 6 clutch is acting up I feel..

whenever I rev toward redline, the clutch pedal gets very firm and its harder to shift into gear it seems...

a friend of mine told me that its the oem spring in the clutch that are bad, or possibly broken...??

My CL has around 160,000....I think its that time

clutch officially went out today need one asap. gonna have to take it apart asap to send in to CM this sucks

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

pucks will make engages harder but it will grab and hold the power.

LIPPSTUH

iTrader: (2)

need a tester? =P

Allout

Do it! Once it's proven to work, others will follow

Assuming my clutch went out on me last night!!!

I'm able to put it in gear, however when I let off the clutch pedal I get a grinding noise, and I refused to drive it, called a tow truck immediately!!

I'm praying that it isn't the transmission!!!

I need this asap.....will make payments!!!!

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

My clutch was slipping like crazy today. Odd though since last night it was perfectly fine.

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

yes i do.

cb717cls

iTrader: (3)

any word on the clutch situation yet almost got mine out have a few more steps to go then im gonna need a new one asap.

poisx7

iTrader: (1)

SO ANY new NEWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS................. ???????

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

News is...things have been a tad slow ehre so we have not had it as a mahor prority.

Maybe if there was an interest list going...

poisx7

iTrader: (1)

but i really think this a great void to FILL and FEEL
Especially if the product really delievrs what it promises.

My guess is SB got to take the risk and invest in this and let us be the ones to recommend you.

a prototype , a test car and some R & D but i am sure no one wants to just poof out $1400. If this ever comes to light I am sure ppl will buy it

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

Yes you are right...just trying to find the right timing for us.
