clutch slipping

[boombastik]

well clutch started slipping today if i bring the turbo on boost

i thought it didnt have much life left in it when i bought the car but all the pissing about in the snow getting stuck and rocking the car on the clutch has ****ed it.

so looking for recomendations for a clutch kit.

running stock power just now but will be looking to upgrade later in the year.

[Tokyo_black]

How far are you planning on taking the power?

I would recommend an exedy paddle 6 puck, that should do you reliably up to 350hp and it's pretty cheap compared to the organic clutches rated around the same £350 vs around £500 when I was looking :nod:

[samoht]

Do you have the 6 puck ? How easy is it to drive with (stop-go traffic?). How many miles has it lasted you so far ?

[boombastik]

I doubt I'll have the power above 300

[Rubix_Cube]

RPS 6 Puck :)

[boombastik]

i presume im ordering a SR20DET clutch kit as theres no differance between the sr20 in the 180 and the uk s14

[diamondsink]

Stick to an organic, RPS street max or ACT extreme. These clutches are rated to around 450 lbft so more than enough and will be a more similar feel to the standard.

Im looking for the same thing but will probs do the flywheel at the same time. . . any reccomendations for a good clutch & flywheel package? Will be running stage 2 max.

[nitrodave]

skim the standard flywheeel and fit a rps max street organic clutch, can't really go wrong with them

[redsx94!]

Gary I have a spare 180 flywheel if you need work done on it before you attempt it.

I have a 6 puck paddle in my 180, theres no denying it they are harsh for stop-go but stand up to way more abuse.

And yes just order the sr20det one

plus 1.. dont 6puck it .. that'll annoy you

[jod]

im running a Spec 6 puch stage 3 in my 180.its good for up to 400bhp and is more driveable than most other 6 puch clutches since it uses a different friction pad material.the clutch pedal ain't any heavier than standard either.

another +1 for the RPS max street organic.

no harsh biting point and it'll take good power!

[T.J]

the harsh biting is all down to the springs on the pressure plate

[Stidi]

some plates don't have springs :D
is it not to do with the clamping force of the cover too? :confused:
thought it'd be a bit of both myself? :)

[drifter]

Clamping force more I would have thought. Anyway, people who say paddles are awkward are just :ghey: That is unless you buy one which has a rating of 1 billion ft/lb :rolleyes:

[Stidi]

i'm not saying they're awkward, maybe just a little bit of overkill for most.
i had a silly clutch in the skyline, because it needed one. I've had organics / paddles in cars that called for them.

the V8's getting a normal clutch and if that thing doesn't need a paddle clutch, nothing does :D
