johnd-mkiv Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Just had an exedy twin plate fitted, to be honest its a right fooker to get the hang of, its all or nothing just wheel spun it reversing up my drive as it wont really pull away under 2.5k, I dread to think what its going to be like in the wet:blink: Not only that it rattles like a bastard, which is embarrasing at the lights Im just hoping it will wear in a bit and not be so aggressive? all in all £1300 down and not to happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Haha... i think the exeddy twin plate is loverly to drive with.... you wanna try a ORC 4plate, now that was a bitch of a clutch.. few days and you will get use to it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 You can buy a new slave rod from HKS which will help with the grabbing problem. I have one and think the HKS twin plate is great whereas others who havent had the slave rod say that it is unbearable. I raised my idle to 1100k to get rid of the rattling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonty Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I had the OS Giken fitted on my T78 and it drives really well. My old one was Exeddy twin plate and rattled alot. However my new one has slight rattle - it's not snatchy though. You can adjust the clutch usually and a bit of wear might help things. I know wot you mean at the lights - now you have them lookin at you:) Hope you get it sorted as its loads of dosh if you don't like it Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
