144ft/lb clutch slipping - Saxperience

AlexB^p · 2nd June 2011, 18:26

Basically now I'm running my gripper and r888s i cant spin the wheels so my clutch just gives up and slips instead as im powering out of bends

Can i do something like a paddle friction plate in my valeo pressure plate or is it a whole new clutch time

Never looked at paddle clutches as everyone said i wouldnt need one but now i need one quick so im asking you lot

I run a standard cover, with an AP 4 paddle clutch with a sprung centre. It can withstand my constant thrashing so I would say its a pretty good setup.

AlexB^p · 2nd June 2011, 20:30

So i can do that then

Found the friction plate on spoox but 220 quid ouch lol
ill shop about for one lol

yep alex, i reckon a standard pressure plate and uprated friction plate should do the trick.

AlexB^p · 2nd June 2011, 21:15

This one??

i am using the OMP group N one, seem good for me, but i am also using the OMP pressure plate too.

im sure a helix 4/6 paddle clutch would be cheaper than that.. get some pm's out to atspeed/gmc etc.

Sophia_Bush · 2nd June 2011, 21:23

doubt it make any diff to you since it's already happened but I had 145f;b running through mine

Ill message a few companies tomorrow

I am pretty sure you will have issues but should get what you want in the end. YB racing are probably the cheapest for the clutch plates. You just need to know the code of one for a saxo.

Come to us for OMP stuff. I would recommend an uprated clutch pressure plate if you are planning on doing a lot of hard acceleration from standstill. This is where the most strain on the system will be. Once moving theres less stress on the components.

AndySAXO^p · 4th June 2011, 18:52

I have the full OMP system, seem to be doing me well, I know more after tomorrow see how it holds up.

What about an unsprung friction plate
I know itll snatch on bite would it be too much daily i stop at 3 junctions on the way to work so traffic creeping ect im not fussy on

Citroen_saddo · 8th June 2011, 12:38

You need a 4 paddle for 144lbs of torque, pathetic

see my facebook reply.

no need to spec a race clutch for a road car. but even if i say a sprung 6 paddle clutch would be your best bet theres a good chance you will ignore what i say. so jus do what you want

AlexB^p · 8th June 2011, 12:48

Main thing atm danny is cost but if saving 150 quid makes it undriveable then its not worth saving

I dont know the ins and outs of clutches as far as i was told id be fine with a valeo and now cause of that ive no idea what im looking at

dannygti · 8th June 2011, 13:26

this is all you really need alex..

So just the friction plate yea?

AndySAXO^p · 8th June 2011, 14:50

I use both that clutch plate with springs and cover too, works well for me.
