New Advanced Clutch Technology - UniClutch Twin Plate - Motive Tech

[@WolfmanDude]

This is exactly the kind of concept we need in this day and age: A unified and modular system that the end user can install and service. Not just for clutches or car parts, but for everything!

[@megahurts2]

I need to find a long term review of this clutch. This sounds super legit.

[@JustinBone]

That's what I'm waiting for too. I'd like to know how the poly dampener, spline adapter, and of course disc material itself all hold up over time with regular spirited street use.

[@fafablur3444]

For starters I opted for the blue uniclutch which is rated for 900nm, my car is pushing around 600nm with my current tune. Installed uniclutch in my Honda accord cl9 kseries roughly 3 months ago, drove fine during break in period, started having issues after running it on the dyno. Getting in to a gear was a struggle once car is running, it was also crunching when I put it on reverse gear. No issues putting it into gears when car is off which indicates clutch isn’t disengaging at all. Pulled out my transmission the other day to see that the adapter plate that attaches the whole kit to the flywheel has snapped making it spin unevenly and started shaving the inner casing of my gearbox which caused it to crack and leak gearbox fluid. So now im not just looking for a new clutch, I’m also on the look for another gearbox casing

[@Beakz_]

I love the concept and implementation of that extended damping range on the sprung section! Time will tell how well their intermediate/adapter plate solution for mounting holds up over time, theoretically its sound but harmonics are a ficle thing when it comes to mounting and regidity. Might have to consider this for my track car if I find my current clutch isn't holding up.

[@burn4005]

I'm hugely skeptical of that adapter ring holding up to 2000nm of abuse but I'm sure I'll be proven wrong and their engineers know what they're doing. cool product

[@dravindarkcloudable]

I had the same thought. Then i just happen to go look at the fly wheel on my 2jz and yeah. Got 1,010hp and 500+lbs and what 6 tiny bolts and 3 dowel pins. Yeah, i actually think if that ring is made of high grade steel and it ia actually inside the perimeter of the bolts and is held by high grade hardware as long as there is no play just might be strong enough.

[@ferrumignis]

Also dubious about concentricity. The ring appears to be doweled to the flywheel but not to the clutch itself.

[@blow0me]

@@dravindarkcloudable I'm sure if you wanted, it'd be pretty easy to bolt it to a flat flywheel too ? It's a novel idea overall. I like their multiplate design, and how they also still offer organics discs with well sprung hubs. If of course it ever appears for sale for needed fitments.

[@joeyallcock1011]

@@dravindarkcloudable my thought is eurathane once heated to said temp of what it is rated? will become soft plyable & may reshape itself on those damper/pinch points feel unsure of long term effect from hot engine & trans heat along with its own heat from friction disc? Thoughts or answers on this please as im drivin like miss daisy so not to slip my worn out clutch ( high engagement all in first 10-15mm of pushing pedal) so believe i may well be needing a new clutch asap for my 2005 1st gen 2.4L PT CRUISER☆JoeDog+k9Buddie☆2door~PT~van☆

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

What as opposed to a thin metal flexplate bolted to a convertor ?

[@RGHTBrainDesignDrive]

These guys were awesome to see at SEMA and worked off the ORC 559 style wire EDM center section to quick-swap for a given application. Really cool innovation with the twin-spring array and the superb damping design for smoothness. They'll be having my business after the SPEC Twin Disc is broken in, and a custom 8.5" w/ T56 Magnum is fitted for a Rotary 13B application from these boys.

[@TheOystei]

Will be cool to see how this works out in practice. High power streetable clutches have really come a long way the last decade or two.

[@crazymasina8524]

One of the best products I've seen in a long time. I hope your products do well. I saw a video and i really how the buyers take their time proudly setting everything up. It's been awhile since I've seen something this innovative.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

Dude! The change in YOU from the last clutch video is awesome! Keep it up Big Dawg 💪🏼

[@evil_rotary7]

I love the way they designed and presented the products😺 It's so clear for our consumers to see, and they've made it incredibly easy to install and use. The dampening features are amazing, I would love to experience a car with this clutch installed. The rattling noise from my current twin-plate clutch can become a bit annoying over time.

[@newguyoz]

Ive driven a car with this in it. its amazing. I have a mantic twin plate in my car (600hp) and its soooo much nicer to drive than the ORC clutch that came out of it.....

[@blow0me]

@@newguyoz it isn't a mantic clutch ?

[@DStead2239]

Looks like a bloody brilliant idea, the company behind it is my only personal concern but that's neither here nor there.. My experience with an "experimental" clutch built and fitted by them didn't end well but that was 5-6 years ago, alot can change in that time and by the looks of it, it has.. I think I'll wait for feedback before dipping my toes in this time instead of being the one toffer feedback

[@babarnett1987]

funny you say that, i commented on one of their instagram posts asking who the company above them was and they didnt answer haha

[@DStead2239]

@@babarnett1987 Yeah, plausible deniability lol. My brother inlaw was a sales rep for clutch industries so I got a free mantic twin plate they'd made and fitted for free that was claimed to be easily daily driveable, had no chatter and would handle high torque loads, I was supposed to give feedback on the clutch as a guinea pig in return.. I had a twin plate previously but it was a pull-to-push type conversion and theirs was a direct fit pull type clutch kit for EVO 4-9.. First off, when picking car up it wouldn't start (plugs fouled, run in tune and them moving in/out of shop) and then the speedo didn't work as they didn't reconnect it and the wheel nuts were left loose🤦‍♂️.. But that was the workshop they had do the work, not them. The clutch was good in that it had a light pedal and easy take up, no judders but still rattled just not as bad as normal twin plate. It was a fresh 2.4L bored and stroked on run in tune and handled it fine so hopes were high, then when full tuning it started slipping at 380wkw at all four, so was detuned to 360wkw and left there (dyno run is on my channel). Then, doing a 3rd gear pull BANG! clang clang ding ding dadingg... Holes in the bellhousing. Tear it down, pressure plate broke where spacers and allen keys are and they exited through gearbox bellhousing. Pull clutch assembly off and there were witness marks on the ARP flywheel bolts where centre sprung springs had been hitting and would obviously hit more with wear as the friction material was the only thing keeping the tolerance although also likely what reduced it's bite on the flywheel.. All in all, never again lol

[@Dr_Xyzt]

Whoah! This is awesome! It provides a lot more certainty in what you're installing. I imagine they'll eventually offer solid hub parts if they don't do it already.

[@mr34]

Do they have options for push vs pull type clutches?

[@weduhpeople8504]

How would this compare to another Aussie clutch XClutch? I have their twin organic disc clutch and lightened flywheel for my Honda Type R Fk8? Pedal is almost oem feel and rated to 900 ft lbs. it’s not sprung but engages very smoothly. It does jingle when the clutch pedal is pressed down but that just may be a part of what twin disc clutches.

[@anetworkservice]

Very cool! I’ve had the aftermarket dual disk clutches in my car and was not happy with it at all. It did have the rattle and pedal feel was bad. It also had a lot of chatter. This was in my 70 BBC Chevelle.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

When I put a SPEC billet FW/Twin disc on my 2015 Mustang EcoBoost it was SO noisy at stop lights. It had a DMFW from factory, so thanks for the explanation! I thought it was about to blow up every time I drove it hahaha

[@jubthreesixnine688]

Already on the shelf at lots of Repco's around Australia, mechanics can access these parts too in select supply systems.

[@scottm6130]

Looks like a great piece of kit. I'm curious as to which car it's going in though. I'd have thought your R32 would be the obvious choice to see if it really does help alleviate or eliminate the noise, but I'd imagine you'd realistically want the race spec one for that.

[@masterdinosawr]

Andrew is an amazing teacher.

[@Jus4fun456]

Got me all excited for my getrag. Unfortunately, it is not available. I assume this is due to the push/pull conversions they require. Hopefully, something in the near future for us loud getrag owners.

[@Wind_slash0]

Definitely the next item to upgrade after the valve springs on my gr corolla

[@DarkShadow7920]

They are going to be a game changer for engine swaps and gearbox swaps, just shim it and change the spline to your desired config.

[@JAM4382]

I wonder how well those urethane pieces will hold up. That material generally doesn’t withstand high heat. In normal driving they would probably be fine but for racing applications it seems like they would deteriorate pretty quickly.

[@Danger_mouse]

4:05 Bzzzzt - Incorrect, many dual mass flywheels actually can be milled, rather than machined by a lathe. Several workshops I've worked in on the Sunny Coast here use Maroochy Cylinder Heads to do this and my own personal Subaru Outback was done over 150k ago by them 👍

[@MotiveVideo]

So what you’re saying is they can’t be machined

[@Danger_mouse]

@@MotiveVideo depends on the semantics of 'machined', a cylinder head mill is a machine just like a brake lathe is a machine. It's more to do with the skill of shop you take it to. My point is that you don't always have to throw away a dual mass flywheel.

[@garyhaywood6013]

I've just booked in to have one of your clutches in my mk4 focus st

[@Nismology33]

Nice!! I'm going to contact them 😊. Hopefully we can get 1 to Japan. Nice vid

[@Forde40]

I can't wait to see/hear this in a Getrag, mine makes a bunch of noise when the pedal is released but not in gear. Been told it's normal but super ready to get rid of the sound!

[@burn4005]

Only way you are getting rid of it is a dual mass flywheel. Or increase idle to 1000+rpm.

[@blow0me]

if your foot is not on the clutch pedal, the clutch cannot make any noise, it's all clamped up. Something else is making your noise

[@enesfazlic6017]

Damn what a design. I love this. Cant wait to start installing them.

Hello I would like to use this clutch on my gr yaris with single mass flywheel. Can you recommend me single mass flywheel which is compatible with this clutch? Thanks,Regards

[@corporalpunishment1133]

Can a uniclutch bolt to a flex plate and operate instead of flywheel.

[@not12listen]

I did a quick price comparison of the Uniclutch VS a single mass flywheel and stage 1 clutch kit, and the price is significantly lower with the Uniclutch. So, I know what I'll be putting my money towards.

[@MitchTube]

Brilliant idea and design. Let’s hope we keep getting manual cars!

[@catsspat]

The only way to keep manual cars around is to keep buying them. My first hand-me-down car was MT. I've since purchased 5 *new* cars, and 3/5 were MT. One AT car wasn't even for myself, so I got excuse for that, and I needed a specific feature on other AT car. I'm planning to pick up another new MT car within a year.

[@Akatsukihi]

Thought i will update I took plunge and got one. Its amazing, my r33 GTR drives like stock

[@MotiveVideo]

Great to hear!

[@carllavery4069]

Are these just push style clutches as my evo x isa pull styles clutch be interesting know to be honest As I have just dropped a £1600 exedy twin plate in

[@AzN_devil]

sounds like a good solution for bmw with smfw chatter.... but the torque rating is kinda low (anything n54/b58/s55 running on ethanol mixes is going to need the track version) and personally, it's a bit expensive for what it is... the street version they currently have available on their site with a new flywheel costs more than a xclutch twin plate organic which comes with a new flywheel...

[@hopesndreamsperformance7617]

So if they test the clutch prior to you getting it or prior to it sitting on the shelf does that mean it's already broken in kind of?😅

[@r33skylineprojects59]

Can we buy products from you Andrew ?

[@Danger_mouse]

How much additional flywheel weight is added, by fitting the Uniclutch assembly with its own inbuilt flywheel? Like someone else posted, that bolted on torque ring does not looks like the sort of thing a track car will eat up. No doubt theres a heap of FDA and hopefully a lot of test hours on it and we'll be wrong about it, just looks... I dunno, flimsy 🤷

[@matthewmorriss690]

Can you get replacement parts?? I asked our repco rep to check, she said clutch rep didnt know??

[@HardstylePete]

Very cool idea. You should fit a sports model to a gtr and test it at the drags.

[@E.T.GARAGE]

This will be great for all C4 Corvettes (1989-1996) that had the ZF 6 speed with a dual mass flywheel.

[@jagco2594]

Do you make 1 for chevy 350 2 peace main seal. 10.5.

[@jdmmr2]

Very interesting and cool Aussie product.

[@daviddroescher]

Sounds like the dual mass flywheel is acting like a harmonic isolator. Where the trans and rotating assembly are alowed to move into phase, or never stay in a bad synchronization long enough to setup a audible trimmer/shake/ resonance.

[@magicman6179]

I AM INTERESTED, but with a lightweight flywheel, does the Uniclutch system have a lot of NVH, or does it resemble the original in terms of vibrations and noise?

[@daviddroescher]

​@magicman6179 From what he said in the video , it reduces NVH like a dual mass flywheel but betterand over a wider range of harmonics. A Cummins 6bt a12-1400rpm over works the springs as the pistons speed up appon firing then slow down on the next compression stroke. This rocking motion in excess of the springs ability to compensate makes the nut on the back of 5th gear back off at low rpm ,high load high tq( 800-1300 torque)

[@4speed3pedals]

I wonder if these clutch assemblies will handle 7000 plus RPM and fully release to change gears? Many diaphragm clutches will stick to the floor at high RPM and that is not good.

[@MotiveVideo]

Watch the video of it in our Z

[@pewtubee]

[@LAndrewsChannel]

8:22 Under Magnusson Moss Act (in the US) it is literally illegal to claim that disassembling a product voids the warranty. Like all "warranty void if removed" stickers. The warranty provider need to prove that the consumer caused the defect by disassembling, not the other way around: "The performance of the duties under subsection (a) shall not be required of the warrantor if he can show that the defect, malfunction, or failure of any warranted consumer product to conform with a written warranty, was caused by damage (not resulting from defect or malfunction) while in the possession of the consumer, or unreasonable use (including failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance)." This is sad as it shows anti-consumer behavior from the seller.

A normal clutch was never difficult to install, obviously better performance, but am I missing the point?

[@bluesrike]

1. Instead of making a clutch that will only work for a specific engine and nothing else, they use adapters rings that match a specifica engine and that allows them to mass-produce the clutch for cheaper. 2. The clutch has internal dampeners similar to a dual-mass flywheel.
