The problem in all the triple and twin HKS setups, for any vehicle is the pressure plate bolts that hold the diaphragm are m4 bolts with 8mm nut. When you shift fast these stupid things tend to snap and break. Then they fall inside the diaphragm and your realease bearings looks like it's going. We changed the design of the bolts and made them out of torque bolt stainless steel and we now have a very graduate realease of the HKS triple clutch. It for real drives like a stock clutch now. Because it's engaging first the 1st, then the 2nd and at last the 3rd clutch. SO it feels like a freaking GOLF and not shattering anymore. We also did the same thing on an EVO VIII with a twin HKS.

it's a known problem between tuners that the HKS twin and triples have issues with the diaphragm holding bolts, that's why their prices have gone down the drain. After the fix, in our 640whp MKIV, there is no issues so far. (cross our fingers we are done with that problem). Let see after 6 months of driving. If it holds i will sell the kit on ebay and whoever wants they will get it. That's why i want a second one to install it to my other MKIV with 1000whp. With this testing we will be very close to a true fix on this problem. We have to put at least 20,000 miles of hard driving and shifting on this, and then release it to the public.

 

cheers

cheers buddy i will try ebay i have reserched the clutch and have not come across any links that they have this problem not alot of ppl want to run that kind of horse power so it will be fine for someone that just BPU it will be fine

 

and to be quite honest with you mate i would rather you not post negative things about my post and let other ppl make up there own mind if it dont sell here all i will do is strip it and sell the plates off seperate as to buy the plates alone is around £400 it makes no differance to me but it wont be going for the price your offering

I sell plates new from the dealer for 150 euros = 100 pounds each (for the customer), and i have maybe about 10 in stock at the minute. If you buy them from the states they cost dealer price less than 130 dollars, which is not even 70 pounds. Anyway i'll buy another one i found from a guy in Europe. Cheers and good luck with your sale.
