Re: Opinions twin disc clutches

I can’t wait to use my ptt twin. It will be nice to get that stock pedal back!I’m not sure why anyone would call it garbage. Their customer service is grate actually. I have been talking to them over the last few weeks. They reply with answers within a few hours via email. Also returned all my calls that day. If you fallow the simple instructions and use the Isuzu slave they last and work grate. My act would drag also. Got sick of spending money on shipping my trans to shep every winter haha.

I had the Isuzu salve. Clutch failed the following morning after i got the car tuned. They answered all my questions and were nice to me to. until i had issues. See almost every vendor will be nice when everything is ok. Its when something goes wrong when you see their true colors. PTT customer service suck knat balls. They said to me that a 900+whp car runs a PTT clutch at the track and he doubted I was making anywhere near that much power. WTF? I stated I had a 70mm turbo so I was making some decent power. I shot down his BS so he then goes on to blame my trans builder smh. This is that happened to me http://www.teamrip.com/clutch_info.html

My act 2600 drags at high rpm as well. I get locked out above 6400 rpm, I wish I had a twin disk clutch.

If your clutch drags at 6400rpm, something is wrong. Check the step on your FW, make sure you have a properly match PP and disc. Mine usually started dragging around 7500+. 6400rpm sounds really low.

I actually just have my clutch cut rev limit set to 6400rpm, that pretty much guarantees me a perfect shift into second gear every time. I've locked out of second and fourth a gear few times at 7k+, mostly due to a shift cable adjustment that was needed. So I guess I exaggerated before, just rooting for the twin disk!

The person who created QM twin discs left the company and created PTT. The clutch floater and pressure plates, and flywheels are interchangeable. I am not sure how one is better than the other when they are basicity the exact same thing. You can even swap discs if you have the right step height in the flywheel. I can only assume other issues were at play. I suppose I cannot be so quick to judge it just by other people’s success. I will have to keep driving the car and make my own observations. So far so good.
