davidwort 0 Posted April 4, 2008 I've been wondering about these things for a while since they became a popular fitment by VW (and their failures seem a popular topic of discussion with mechanics), I know it's a pretty dull subject but this video is pretty cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yandards 0 Posted April 4, 2008 Good video. Hope they are not actually using the rivets I think they are on it though, not really designed for that sort of shear loading. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted April 4, 2008 Fascinating video davidwort! Made me think about how uprated clutches must just have uprated springs (plus be made of a stronger friction material) as people sometimes complain about how the clutch bites a lot quicker when changing gear - a combination of the friction material and spring rates on the plate I suspect.

paul20v 0 Posted April 5, 2008 dual mass fly wheels are rubbish there is no need for them and they are exspensive and unreliable sooner they scrap them and realise it was a terrible idea the better there as bad as release bearings with built in slave cylinders there great too :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
