Is there anyone using a lightweight flywheel / 4 puck clutch disk for autocrossing? My new track car has one and I'm not so sure my wife is going to like it. I had heard they are like an on off switch and I have to agree after driving the car. Getting the car onto the trailer was an experience.
I'm worried about longevity as it takes quite a bit of slipping to get a smooth launch. In my last car I used a Centerforce setup which was easy to use. Thanks, Bill P. |

Hi John,
Thanks for the info. Yeah..I am going to have my wife practice before we go out. I just was curious as to the longevity of the clutch in multiple launch events such as an auto-x. I don't want to be going through clutches right left. Our Centerforce on the 914-6 was nice and smooth and lasted a long time. This one is different in feel, but if durability is okay, we can probably get used to it. Thanks, Bill P. |
