[@taffdaddy1291]

If you want more holding force get a clutch designed to work in a truck or RV. And one other thing: "Torque doesn't mean Power" clutches don't care about power. They only deal in torque. And the balance of a clutch has nothing to do with the performance of it, unless you go above a specific RPM rating. I can burn up 20 clutches for the cost of one of those rip-offs. Lighten the car, that will give you more response from the power output. Change the tire material for better grip, and dyno tune the ignition at the RPM range you will be using. Some minor changes in the bearings and higher pressure oil pump with an oil cooler will give you safer top end red line.

[@manfromnantucket9544]

Toasted my stock Luk clutch at the drags. Got a Bully Stage 4 sprung six-puck. Works great, can daily it just fine and is more than enough to hold the power. Definitely worth the cost imho

[@mhiscott4925]

Dude literally knows jack shit about clutches and u can tell he just made the video because he happened to have them around. Basically just points out all the obvious shit. Doesn't take note on the material or crimping stages. Everything he says is like...well yeah no shit.

[@TheLiamis]

GodSpeed lol he said clutch one little metal, 2 more metal makes better....?. 3 says will be more metallic but it's carbon (non metallic). Metal on metal is never a good friction. Always metal on silicate/ceramic.

[@hakosuka2]

Crimping stages? What the hell are you talking about lol.

[@mhiscott4925]

Crimping stages are part of the manufacturing process in which a crimping machine folds over two pieces of metal to keep them together without the need of welding or press fitting. Crimping is done in stages. Therefore, crimping stages.

[@hakosuka2]

I know what crimping means but what is being crimped and what are the stages?

[@pdpablovega2912]

Lmfao 👍🏽

[@Trusty_Steed]

I think the term you are looking for is coefficient of friction. Which increases with heat, for the carbon ceremic wear material.

[@adamweaver1594]

I bought a Competition clutch, stage 3 for a 94/LT1/ T56 firebird with minor upgrades and it did not last more than 20,000 miles on the street. It grabbed like hell but it wasn't great for the street. Just a heads up for anyone considering that brand.

[@bedio1769]

what about gearboxes? if i upgrade my clutch etc. in my Fiesta but the Gearbox is only capable of around 300nm of Tourqe how/where can i get better/stronger gearboxes from or is a stronger clutch enough?

[@gamingmadesimple5510]

Bedi O if you upgrade the clutch the gearbox should get upgraded too. I've always put on a gearbox capable of more torque than the clutch so the weakest point is the pressure plate in the clutch. Much easier and typically cheaper to replace.

[@hom240]

I've had ceramic clutches before. Some are un-streetable in that they will bark the tires due to no spring on the disc. The clutch is either in or out not much slippage to get smooth shifts. The other thing is unless you use a hardened flywheel they will wear out the flywheel in no time.

[@gamingmadesimple5510]

George Montgomery best advice in this video so far

[@fastmadcow]

+George Montgomery My Saturn Vue does that in 1st gear... I get the clutch bite and rev the car to start moving (or it dies) But if I let the clutch out just even a tiny bit to quick it spins the tyres. Are these things related to your comment you think? Note: (When I'm stationary) I have to keep the clutch in and rev the car to about 2k rpm before it will start to move. Then I let the clutch out fully after about 4-6mph and I can then shift through the gears normally. That is to get the car not to squeal the tyres. If I do it when I was a newb, I would rev to 2k rmp and then as soon as I felt the car moving I would let the clutch out and then go. Which spun the tyres.

[@gamingmadesimple5510]

@@fastmadcow fwd cars will behave like that with any aftermarket clutch that is more aggressive than stock. Doesnt take much to chirp or even spin the tires on fwd and though a ceramic would do that even something as low as a 4 puck sports clutch would do the same.

Rebuildable or not, if you use an unsprung friction plate clutch with a standard oem syncromesh gearbox, you'll be rebuilding your gearbox AND your clutch. Crank harmonics. Look it up. There are different clutches for different applications. It's not a simple case of more expensive is better, not in terms of longevity or torque holding capacity.

Metallic is an adjective not a noun.

[@blackmanops3749]

Thanks for the comparison. The visual differences are well illustrated. So balance is key. And also component replace-ability. How does that work? Do you send it back for re-balancing when you replace a worn disc or busted fingers? If so this would truly be a lifetime clutch, which would make it somewhat cost effective. If not I think the mid brand would probably give you longer life for the same money. I guess it all depends on your application. A daily driver probably goes through 4 clutches in in a persons lifetime (my experience) and a race car maybe one a race tops? That would be 12 clutch pushes per clutch. Or about $200 every time you put your foot on the clutch. Cha-Ching!!!

[@gamingmadesimple5510]

Dank Solution won't hear me complain. I usually go for a trans capable of significantly more than the power I'm going for and then my clutch can still be able to handle more than the power being run but less than the trans so if something does go out the clutch and typically the pressure plate is what goes rather than something else more expensive or harder to take apart. Not that I want my clutch to go out just prefer it over other drive line parts
