Hi max, i sent you an email a while back, im very interested in your clutch but just cant afford it in the time being... Besides mine being worn i ll have to stick with it for a while longer... Lets see if we can get a groupbuy going.

Cheers

hey, bought a TRD Paddle clutch last week, anybody here ever see one of these? And any comments on them? I Have not a TRD pressure plate will an ordinary one do?

looks a bit different alright but TRD is stamped into it, thats good enough for me

Looks like remanifactured using different friction plates.
Sorry man.

cool, i wouldnt mind getting it re padded every couple of rallies if it will last that long. I had a brand new standard clutch in before and it only lasted 3/4 of a stage under abuse. i was disgusted. When i took it out today thee was nothing but dust, clutch was down to bare metal!

I use stock clutches with my rally car ( stock engine too...) with no problem for years now . I just don't let it slip at start , and I try not to use it to help engine revs ...
I've just one question : as I'm well satisfied with the stock clutch , do you think it's necessary to have a better one with a light flywheel ???

depends on how hard you are on the car, i say, if it works for you leave it as it is. I'd take reliability over small power gains any day
(have to find that reliability first :wink: )
