Jellybean Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Hey I have a carbonetics Twin plate or triple carbon clutch, I was reading the artical (http://www.carbonetic.net/tech/pdfs/CClutch_Universal.pdf) What is Avoid a Long Half clutch For an extented Life of the clutch, try and use as little half clutch as possible? preferably 0.5 Seconds What is short shifting? Is it normal for an after market clutch to have no cover to speak, I know the carbon ones generate alot of heat but my clutch has a large enough window in the side of the casing for dirt and crap to get in at it, I presume this is for heat disapation? Was think of putting a gromet over it , its approx 8cm by 5 cm Edited August 24, 2009 by Jellybean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 1 and 2 refer to slipping the clutch. 3 is changing up before max rpm. That clutch looks like a primadonna pain in the ass, it's got more caveats than a R35 GTR warranty. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Erm, well, er, you know, when you bring the clutch up and it's not fully engaged but it is moving the car, like every time you pull away or you'll stall it? And for a fast getaway you'll get the revs up and then use the clutch to control the transfer of power to the wheels? That's slipping the clutch It's called that because the friction material of the clutch is rubbing against the flywheel, but isn't pushing hard enough against it to spin at the same speed as the flywheel. So it slips, thus controlling the amount of power being transmitted to the gearbox and therefore wheels. This generates heat and promotes wear, hence the caveats to not do it much. A sympathetically used clutch can last for years, as it's really only the slip that wears them down. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
