Rich8v Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) I noticed the cluth cover is missing a pin (3 in total). What have the members who have these fitted done? Just leave it or do i have to fit something? Edited July 11, 2009 by Rich8v (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich8v Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 cant help sorry but can i ask where you got it from? I got mine from the states from http://www.lightningforceperformance.com. It came in at, Centerforce Clutch Dual Friction........................................$559.00 USPS Priority..............................................................$110.00 This was a while back and the exchange rate is'nt the best at the moment, but the people on this board who have them fitted do recomend them. Little num, not to worry im sure it will be fine. But the last thing i want is to pull the car apart again. I sent an email to the centerforce tech guy, will see what he says.

magictorch Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I think mine is missing one as well, just assumed it was missed by the person who fitted it:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi mate, i`m pretty sure all the pins were in on ours as i looked closely before fitting, it could be yours is faulty, i`d send a message to lightning force to check and would be wary of fitting it as the pins are there for a reason.

Chiefgroover Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I refitted my engine last night, have to tighten up the pressure plate yet, will have a look at my centerforce and let you know. This would be a good time to check you have ALL the washers/spacers etc. see http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_1994_TOYOTA_SUPRA_JZA80-ALFQZ_3101.html You need to trim (i used a bench grinder) the fiber washer that touches the pressure plate fingers to clear the weights by about 2mm. I would also recommend replacing the spring wave washer, if you want a quiet clutch, part numbers 90206-12006, and if the fiber washer looks worn 90560-79001. Remember to grease all parts of the clutch fork that touch anything and the shaft the release bearing sits on. I am at a loss to know why people fit neck snapping rattling twin and triple plate exoensive clutches for under 700bhp unless they do regular drag or have 315 rear tyres or the like?.

supra dan Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yeh, been fitted just over a year:) No problems with it at all, the bite on mine is quite high tho sounds good, i think you can adjust the hight the peddle bites at? i may be wrong tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsportcars Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 You should be able to adjust the pedal travel from under the dash. There should be a threaded bar that goes through the bulk head to you clutch master cylinder. You can disconnect this from the clutch pedal and twist it in or out to your liking. Just be sure not to adjust it too far in either direction or you will have clutch slip or trouble selecting gears. I have the centreforce dual friction on mine too and it is bang on.

supra dan Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 yay i got something right! did you guys get yours from lightningforce also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 yay i got something right! did you guys get yours from lightningforce also? Yep, that was the only supplier i could find, other than tdr who were about £250 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yep, that was the only supplier i could find, other than tdr who were about £250 more. Are you still using the same clutch now that you're running a single Si? What bhp/torque are you running? Is there only one type for the Supra TT, or do they do different max torque rated ones?

They did supply another version to take more power/torque....i think it was called a DFX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
