What am I missing here?
The friction material and contact surface area of the 1st disc and the flywheel remain the same (or are made smaller) when going to a twin or mutiple disc setup Is the gain from a smaller diameter clutch/pressure plate and more clamping force?? I thought I had read that Porsche is considering twin disc clutches in some of the newer cars, something about being able to upshift while under power?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Hayden or anyone else, care to enlighten us?? (or maybe just me since everyone else might "get-it" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) |

The cup cars are bitchin..
Lift throttle upshifts without the clutch at 9kRPM down the straight at Thunderhill. Nothing quite like it. I was actually sad to see it go. B |
