Clutch Poll?
Clutches like everything else on the cars that we love are a compromise, some better than others.
Since acquiring a car with a twin plate in it this has been brought to focus, it has a lovely engagement when you are up and running but parking and hill starts are more tricky.
I've never done a poll thread before and a number of them seem (sorry folks) a bit pointless.
I was thinking of starting a poll along the lines of which clutch you are using with which torque level. Under 400 i imagine most would use standard or slightly uprated, where it's more of a mine field is 500+ area.
Which raises a question, for those who have driven high power cars with manual gearboxes is it always the case that the clutches have bad manners or is it a compromise on the impreza because the standard flywheel setup is not designed for so much power so you need a high friction / clamping force ?
