Jay's Tech Tips #42 - How to Avoid Problems Multiplate Clutches - Real Street Performance

To clarify guys, this is concentric slave throw out bearings only.
The measurement is different for clutch fork setups, with a pivot ball.

[boostedbuiltgarage]

Good topic. This would easily be overlooked by many people! All these prelim measurements will save alot of heartache

[Limeayy]

3:15, i believe you need to subtract the straight edge width before doing all the other measurements

[niezalong]

because of u sir now i know how to measure the forge piston....because someone tell me that forge piston need to be same size at bottom and the top...tq so much sir...low hp of b16a boosted

Jay, what about for an example, measuring the air gap on a concentric fitted to an MT82 mustang trans and a twin disc? The bellhousing is cast as 1 piece. Personally, in my experience, what we do is thread bolts into the holes of the block that would allow us to simulate the bellhousing edge and perform the other measurements the same way, however, this can be dubious at times, because threading the bolts in can and has in some cases lead to incorrect measurements/clearances.

to do the drops really easy get a digital caliper... .and a large machinist square.. set the thick part of the machinist square against the throw out bearing. drop down to the bearing face and zero out your caliper.... now on the straight edge drop down to the face of the trans... no need to subtract the thickness of your straight edge... do the same to the bellhousing to pressure plate fingers....

This is true for all clutches, not only multiplate ones:p

Wish I had the money for a twin or tripple plate...

what are the best bang for buck upgrades for a natural k series k20/k24. want some more Honda k series stuff

Nice video, Jay is there a way to check it when the clutch is already installed? Does this procedure apply to all types of clutch and throw bearing?

[DailyBeater]

Can you guys do a Video install of a RPS twin/Triple on a V160?

[bigike]

LOL! I need to teach you guys how to properly do drops....

ive lightened, balanced and skimmed my flywheel - now my thrust bearing keeps failing, MTX 75 gearbox - this my first zetec setup where the bearing in transmission is failing

[kylewoodward]

Man I'm coming up with like 15 shims, this is a 2002 manual mustang transmission going into a 302, don't know year and it is going into a 91 ford ranger, not sure if this is uncommon for this many shims..lol..first time. And looks like the slave cylinder support rod is going to be short also..

My twin clutch was fine and now after 600miles
You can feel the first plate is engaged straight of the fire wall and judders the car and the second plate engages right at the end of the clutch travel (peddle) before taking off
What is the issue ?
I have bleed the clutch which fixed it but did not last long

[champspec]

Is it possible to measure this distance on a T56 magnum/McLeod RXT w/ the transmission and bell still bolted to the motor? Or does the spring have to be removed from the TOB in order to get the collapsed distance? Obviously, pulling the trans back would be easier, in most cases. But the swap I’m working with is far from convenient to unbolt and pull the trans away.

[bebovalentin]

Install a twin competition clutch and when I press the clutch pedal it makes noise and I already replaced the clutch bearing and the noise continues

[ueokatsuhiro]

What causes a pressure plate diaphragm to flatten out/collapse when tighten?

[GarageSupra]

What gearbox are you guys showing there and what car is it going in? I have a supra currently with a W58 sitting behind an Aristo 2JZGTE and I am looking at a T56 conversion. Just trying to get as much information as possible before I start down this road. Also great video thanks for the upload.

My mcleod rxt twin disc with new pinion bearing and slave cylinder stock on my 2015 ford mustang gt performance package will not do a burnout if i rev at 3-4000rpm with traction totaly off, intead it acts like the traction control is on..what am i doing wrong
