6 paddle clutch
 

What are these like, still a pig to drive on roads?

Why fit a paddle when an organic can do what you want, unless of course you have mega power, say more than 500 ft/lbs.

What organic clutch is rated to 500bhp or 500ft/lb harvey and have you got a link as thinking of selling my helix 5 paddle clutch as a bit severe?

The exedy twin plates are far better than the paddle ones IMO. Have the clamping force and the feel of a standard clutch.

how much are they and where can you get them?

Not cheap

My AP organic did not last long and I was not making massive power but did a couple of sprints.

And AP were not interested

Well i am looking something to take 400bhp as thats what i should be running in my sti 7

I'm running 470 bhp on my AP sti organic job with fidanza flywheel and she's holding up...although have had couple of times with smell of burning cabbage:( - usual clutch complaints sign that is.

Saying that I've only done one standing start so far since final map and dont really want to do that many of them as not got the spare cash now to burn on another clutch as gearbox out etc...bla bla...

but what are they like to live with on a day 2 day basis? and keeping the missus in mind ;)

I think I would follow Steven's ( P20) advice.
My 911 had a 4 puck paddle and was a sod.

My AP organic has been superb.
3 years of heavy hill climbing, about 120 hard starts and 8000 road miles, the opposite to Mark's!
Mind you I'm a bit soft on the old car but it is 380 bhp/370 lbft.(and very sticky tyres)

Speak to scoobyclinic.

Kevs is a 5 speed but takes 470lbsft and his 22b has been on quite a few rolling roads and spins :D

He can get 6speed to

Got a single clutch in mine and takes 540lbsft and isnt a b8tch to drive

Presumably this is one of the clutch's you "sell"

Personally, having had paddles, organics, and twin plates, i would NEVER touch a paddle clutch again for day to day driving. Paddle clutches do NOT like being slipped (they wear very quickly). Slipping the clutch is something that gets done in every day driving, ie town traffic, setting off from junctions etc. They also tend to operate more as an ON/OFF switch than a normal clutch.

Twin plates combine the best of both.

thanks

no paddle 4 me then :) (good job im not 'Up The Creek') ;)
