Marco79 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 When running nitrous I'm getting clutch slip in 4th and am looking into an upgrade, would a tt clutch be better/compatible? Or has anyone any suggestions as too an alternative? The car is running in the range of 320-330bhp if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 TT 6spd clutch won't fit. Unfortunately the options are a bit limited on the w58. There are no organic plate clutches I've found so far that are going to be much use above 300lb/ft, so you're going to be looking at puck clutches (Horrible things IME). The one Craig suggests above should certainly hold the power, but will be a puck one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 puck clutches are not as smooth as organic , and the engagement is harsher , but they cool quicker and often hold more torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Lol my clutch knowledge is slim, it's my new area of learning lol what is it about a puck clutch that you don't like mate? Engagement and drivabilty. It's a bit of a generalisation, but puck clutches will have a fairly harsh engagement. By design they are very on/off, but need to be to acheive the torque ratings they do. My own supra is a daily driver and I would never have a puck clutch on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco79 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 puck clutches are not as smooth as organic , and the engagement is harsher , but they cool quicker and often hold more torque So in short would it detract from the street driving experience or is it just something u get used to?
