YES, it's so nice to see when people actually rate a clutch by the torque - NOT that 'power' BS! I would also suggest, for those who are winding their engine to very high rpm, that 'burst strength' may also be an important criteria. However, you didn't mention the importance of a Marcell Spring, which is the primary reason for a smoother, more progressive engagement - some standard and aftermarket 'organic' friction plates didn't have them and are rather abrupt in take-up, there are aslo some rare sintered and ceramic friction plates that do have them and they are much more suitable for high performance street driving. You also failed to mention the importance of the hub springs and their affect on general driving, as they also have a significant affect on clutch take-up - and the reduction in inertia using a plain hub has on the vehicle. With the pressure plate, it is worth checking with the supplier as, by altering the diaphram's effective pivot point there can be an increase on clamping force with a stronger spring, but the same pedal effort but with a longer pedal travel. You also missed out, completely, the different clutch diameter options that are available, especially if replacing the flywheel with a ligher one - even the number of friction plates.
Yeeeep. I was asked “how much power will your car make?”, which I can’t answer, but I do have an idea of the cylinder pressure/torque with the stock turbo and cam in my car. I’ll be upgrading both, so I’m not sure where my useable rpm range will end up.
One of the only good explanations out there. Its amazing how ignorant even some mechanics seem when it comes to things like this. Very underated channel... thank you!
You forgot the release aka"throwout" bearing. Sprung vs unsprung disc. Unsprung makes it harder to drive if you are a noob, but less to go wrong. A cheap release bearing can be trouble so check its ply. If it's tight your good, if not get the oem one from the dealer for about $50. Or look for a national or timken bearing. I am looking for a specific piece of info on how to identify disc compatibility spline count and offset. Still haven't found it. The options for my BMW were limitless, but for the jeep not so much. I dont want a sprung disc. Not gonna race it, but a sprung disc make engagement jerky.
that clutch animation was incorrect, the clutch fork pressing on the pressure plate relieves pressure on the clutch disk. not the way it is shown; pressing the clutch disk into the flywheel.
Bingo. He didn’t mention DMF/SMF. And…generally, I’d recommend a DMF to reduce shock load to your drivetrain components. You’ll also maintain livability, which is incredibly under rated when modifying a car.
Thank you so much for indept detail and your professionalism. Unlock other videos where they are vulgar and focus too much on themselves and waste too much time. Thanks bro.
I bought this ca18det engine with clutch attached. Noticed it's impossible to bush the clutch fork with my hand after installing it to the engine. Is this normal as my engine is still off the car.
I have a ZL1 with the engine upgraded to 800 HP at the crank shaft with the Torque increased to near 750. Mostly street use, I cannot locate the OEM Clutch specs for the PRE Modified Engine 580 HP, and am wondering what you recommend as a clutch replacement. Some folks recommend installing a clutch rated similarily as the engine HP and Torque? The dealership recommends OEM for the Pre modified engine specs...also a a 1000 HP rated clutch has been suggested?
Which would be the best option for daily any brand recommendations?

My local mechanics are telling me this, "If we install a performance clutch we will not be responsible if something happens to your manual clutch system, it is better for us to order and install the OEM clutch part." Do they have a point or are they after making more money?
One thing i cant find much info on is "dual friction" clutches. I bought a 6puck/metal organic for a 1jz supra build im undetgoing and it was on a whim. Im almost all bolt on mods under 350hp and drive street sipirited with some track use. Did i eff up or maybe good call.
1:15 is wrong diagram. When you Press the pedal it presses the pressure plate "leaf's" that releases clutch from the fly wheel not the other way around.
If the animation is 100% wrong, then it is even worse - is it not? it also missed out a bunch of other factors, which I mentioned in my comment on the video.
So for a daily driver on 2015+ WRX I should choose which clutch and flywheel? Also, since this cars have ugly TOB issues, which should I go with? My sense is a stock TOB with an aftermarket clutch and flywheel?? Thanks!!
@@josephsabatino7857 I read it in another youtube video that said the FX400 is stiff. So I assume the FX300 is just as stiff. Someone also told me "If you're getting a clutch that's meant to accommodate extra torque, the pressure plate is going to be stiffer, making the clutch pedal feel much firmer than stock. If you get something that feels like a stock clutch, it's probably not gonna have a higher torque capacity than the OEM."
@@HappyHopping11 I had an FX350 and the pedal was basically like OEM. Hardly stiffer. Maybe just a hair stiffer. Yes a higher rated clutch will have a pressure plate with more clamping force but ClutchMasters has their own design to where there's a bunch more leverage which alleviates the stiffer pedal. Think of trying to use a very short wrench to tighten a bolt versus using a very long one with a breaker bar. Tons more leverage.
You're explanation is reversed. When you press the clutch, the plate spring disengages the disc. When you let go the entire assembly turns as one and the release bearing is not pressing the plate springs. Plz remove this video. It's too much misinformation.

Anyone else noticed the rear wheels spinning as he mentioned clutch connecting to transmission 👀
Victor Sanchez me
Me too. I was like awesome prop control bro!!
@Maximiliano Leonidas you're guys' scam comments aren't very convincing
0:36
Man I was Hella tripping thank God I'm not the only one
You guys should do more “All you need to know” videos on the 86.
Great explanation! 👍🏾
Thanks bro I’m putting stock back in my 13 5.0, phew I almost bought a 3 stage or “puck” set up; had no idea they speed up transmission wear
6 years later still an awesome video
Bro, no lie. Need a new clutch for my 95 prelude

Great video, im looking into getting a new clutch and i wasn’t sure what was best for my car and I
And you what ? God damn it I need to know 😩
I also am looking for a new clutch and i
that clutch animation was incorrect, the clutch fork pressing on the pressure plate relieves pressure on the clutch disk. not the way it is shown; pressing the clutch disk into the flywheel.
Aye CPL. That grammar was incorrect, the proper spelling is "relieves ". Not the way it is shown.
yes, I noticed that too, if it was the way he showed it on the animation the pressure bearing will last nothing at all.
I was watching it like wtf is this bullshit
Some cars have a pull not push type clutch setup like evos
@@westvalleyliving7632 That's the rare exception, not the rule. The animation was incorrect as well as his explanation of the pressure plate.
The heavier flywheel is better for drag racing because it helps keep the RPMs up when shifting. , light is better for road course cars.
Bingo. He didn’t mention DMF/SMF. And…generally, I’d recommend a DMF to reduce shock load to your drivetrain components. You’ll also maintain livability, which is incredibly under rated when modifying a car.
Did anyone else notice that their diagram is wrong? When you push in the clutch it engages the clutch?
👍
Me
🤣👍🏽
Thank you so much for indept detail and your professionalism. Unlock other videos where they are vulgar and focus too much on themselves and waste too much time. Thanks bro.
I actually prefer a heavier clutch, learned on a heavy clutch and ever since then every clutch is easy as duck
basically if your not hitting the track every weekend just get the organic stuff dudes
Great video man. Really explained what I needed to know

No mention of multiplate clutches?
i just ordered my OEM Exedy flywheel along with the OEM Exedy clutch kit. hopefully it works just fine. :)
How’s it going good? Bad?
the only thing you missed was self adjusting pressure plates. i have one in my ford truck and they are kind of a mystery?
I learned a lot here
Is there any full face ceramic clutches or not? Never ever seen one before
Gedas alekveravičius I’d like to know too
Google is your friend... yes they are a thing
Tipalgee 2:26
dudee, your explanation and animations are miles better than "engineering explained" :D
keep up the great work !
+8Hachiroku6 EXACTLY this. Jason is a smart guy but he teaches like a professor that needs to finish the class quickly to fulfill the syllabus.
If the animation is 100% wrong, then it is even worse - is it not?
it also missed out a bunch of other factors, which I mentioned in my comment on the video.
The animation for the pressure plate is completely incorrect
Great explanation. Meaningful. thank you so much
So for a daily driver on 2015+ WRX I should choose which clutch and flywheel? Also, since this cars have ugly TOB issues, which should I go with? My sense is a stock TOB with an aftermarket clutch and flywheel??
Thanks!!
@FT86SpeedFactory ... You guys should do a video where you do a full engine bay dress up video !
Hey ik dis video is old but I jus wanted to ask what do u think is the best race clutch for a 350z
Awesome, I've been waiting for something like this
Doesn't lightweight flywheel effect the torque
Forgot to mention breaking trans and engine mounts.
Do u need too be tune after a clutch replacement upgrade
No. The clutch has nothing to do with the operation of the engine.
2:26 wtf did you just say lmfaoo?
Typically lol
I heard “tickle pica” 😂
When you installed the ACT clutch with flywheel, did you have to adjust the clutch pedal height? Having issues with it disengaging .
Is it a lighter flywheel
@@anonymousmc7727 yes it is a lightweight flywheel
It’s the lighter flywheel that’s causing it
DO NOT BUY MPACT CLUTCHES. mine blew up, causing catastrophic clutch failure and MPACT DID NOT CARE
Did you install it correctly
ZACH TAYLOR a transmission shop installed that particular one
Is there any clutch just as good as Clutch Master FX300 but not that heavy when you step on it?
How stiff is it? The clutchmasters pressure plate is supposed to be just BARELY stiffer than OEM since it has a hi leverage system.
@@josephsabatino7857 I read it in another youtube video that said the FX400 is stiff. So I assume the FX300 is just as stiff. Someone also told me "If you're getting a clutch that's meant to accommodate extra torque, the pressure plate is going to be stiffer, making the clutch pedal feel much firmer than stock.

Think of trying to use a very short wrench to tighten a bolt versus using a very long one with a breaker bar. Tons more leverage.
It's easier to tighten something to 200ft lbs with a long wrench than it is with a short wrench.
You guys are don't a fantastic job. Keep it up!
Where can i find a billet aftermarket clutch fork and pin for my 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT?
Try to see if a WRX of the same year would work! Sometimes you can make WRX stuff work on Legacy GT!
I want a 5 Puck clutch
Anyone who can do my DSG clutch replacement in worcester birmingham etc.
Can I install performance clutch in any car?
No you cannot install them on automatics nor electric cars....
Great Information,
Please suggest can we use the after market clutch in any car?
Can I use in my i20 Asta 2011 model
yay
Rhinopac is all you need
All in all pick whatever you want lol
I see what you did there.
So I guess just show incorrect graphics and explanations? Lol
Waauuu
damn this dude cute as hell no homo
wish you didn't look exactly like this one guy i fucking hate because you seem alright
You're explanation is reversed. When you press the clutch, the plate spring disengages the disc. When you let go the entire assembly turns as one and the release bearing is not pressing the plate springs. Plz remove this video. It's too much misinformation.
time attack race track car??? Noob ricer enter apex too early and inflict unnecessary g force, wasting tires,best turning ,too much steer.
1:04 My mechanic teacher would say...No! NOOOOOO! Nooooo! Opposite! OPPOSITE of what you say!! he he....sorry!
yea lol
