Hey guys,
I have been trying to figure something out and it has brought me to the idea of clutch disc weight.
Knowing that we have puny syncro's in our cars, what is the effect of a heavy clutch disc? would the momentem (kinectic energy) of a heavy clutch disc make it harder for the syncro to macth rpms?
Example:
I would imagine that if the stock oem disc was 1lb and the southbend 6-puck was 3.2lbs then there would be some high rpm shifting issues right?
I ask this of you guys, I want some numbers.. I'll start it off.
Southbend DXD 6-puck sprung hub = 3.2lbs (told by southbend..not verified)
ACT street disk = ??
RPS turbo clutch disc = ??
Stock 1g clutch disc = ??
stock 2g clutch disc = ??
??
??
??
??
Thanks,
James
