Clutch Issue

[Sharpy200]

Yea the factory clutches are shit. Mine let go on a road course on the first lap at a 7200 rpm shift with 22000 kms on the odometer. They are made in Turkey. Sorry it happened but now you can replace it with something reliable.

What clutch did you go with pal?

I had 2 of those, they couldn't take the punishment a road course gives so I went with the single disk, zero issues since.

The middle floating plate ends up cone shaped after a day of tracking from heat. The clutch ended up dragging ( not releasing fully) and super hard to get in gear at a stop. For daily hard driving it should be ok, but on a road course you are shifting hard a lot and at least for me it couldn't take it. I have driven manual transmissions my whole life (51 years old now) so it is not driver error.

Hopefully when i do my first track day it holds out. feels good so far though. Thanks for the info
