Priced a clutch replacement today :facepalm:

Nismodean

I'm considering either the Z1 or the JWT clutch/flywheel combo. I would like your experience with either if you have it please.

I had to replace the CSC 10,000 miles ago so I really don't want to go through that again if possible. The HD CSC requires modification (granted only 10 minutes worth) and the elimination kit has only been out a short period of time that I'm aware of. I know it has been tested on the track and that's great and all but longevity hasn't been ascertained IMHO yet and you have to more than likely adjust every now and then (do you need a lift for that every time?) as the clutch wears down.

Any experiences with the previously mentioned clutch/flywheel kits, HD CSC, and CSC elimination kit would be greatly appreciated as well as a good source of info for other people.

Can't comment on the jwt clutch, but i do have their flywheel and love it. A little on the noisy side, but once you learn how to best engage the clutch it isnt all that much more noisy than the stock flywheel. One of the other benefits to it is that when you get ready to replace the clutch again after installing it the first time, the friction plate is replaceable and costs $65

There's a thread on the HD CSC. It WILL still give you the same problem just simply takes longer for it to go bad again. Also, if you'd like more on the elimination kit I'd suggest talking to birdman he just got his done not too long ago. I'll post a link in a few for his build.

Also from what I've read here on the forums the only thing that seems to screw up the rev matching is if you change your final gears. Because the wheel speed is different for a given RPM than what the computer is used to calculating and it throws it off.

axmea?

I performed a simple function........



......and came up with these. Good luck on your mod. Expect performance and noise.

That's not true at all. The only time you need to worry about the HD CSC is if you pair it with a Spec clutch.

I don't know about that... The HD CSC is metal compared to crap plastic that breaks...

I'd like to say the HD CSC failure rate is around... .01% (1/1000) but it's probably a LOT less.
I'd go HD CSC from Joe @ ZSpeed because it keeps the OEM system in tact. And Joe is awesome... And there's nothing to worry about during install/no adjustments as your clutch wears.

Just an FYI, .01% = .0001 = 1/10000.
