Dave,
Which Sachs clutch did you get?

 

the part numbers are:

disc: 99611601532

pressure plate: 883082752


Todd K says it is good up to 650-700 at the wheels - anything more and it's borderline.

 

any idea how it feels compared to oem ?

 

Thanks Dave!!

 

For those that are interested in the spec's for Sach's Clutch.

 

Well it's a sprung hub which apparently is much more user friendly than the unsprung version. I've been led to believe it's not that bad. I have a pretty high tolerance for stiff, loud, erratic, race type parts in a street car so I think I'll be okay.

No prob.

Thanks for posting that. I'd have to think those ratings are fairly conservative?

 

I got mine from Todd K. as well. It may be the same... Mine has the "newer" (762) pressure plate or something?

Anyways, it drives amazingly close to stock and I am very happy with it. I already have the other mods you have (no water/meth though) and it so far is great... Good solid rattling once warmed up for LWFW but otherwise this thing is perfect!

The 764 is the latest PP with the highest clamping force directly from Sach's

Good stuff. How many miles you got on? I hope yours isnt the 762 cuz that one is rated for only 200 nm which is even less than 200 ft/lbs of torque!

I love that rattling of the LWFW actually.

[quote=BigBadBen;2775469]Is that what you have Ben? How does it drive?

 

Haha, numbers confuse me! Didn't have my notes handy, but yes, 764 sounds right (I was close, LOL).

Mine has a few thousand miles on it. I broke it in really slowly for about 800 miles and then finally got on it!

I actually torque sheared my forged Kinesis F110 spokes recently (rears-I'm RWD)...so I guess that's where all the forces are being felt...

 

Yes Dave, that is the clutch I am running. It is PERFECT, the nicest clutch I have ever had!!! The trouble is it maybe starting to slip a touch. I am still sort of breaking it in mine you. Anybody that gets this clutch will love it. I still have the clutch assist.

I am very sensitive to clutch issues as I have been through so many. For a DD this is the one to get!

 

I don't know what means but it sounds intense!

Sounds like a good situation. You weren't interested in the GT2 slave? What have you been told your 764 PP is rated to in ft/lbs?

Dave,

Click on the PDF you will see the Nm rating and you can convert that. In the middle of analysing my latest meth runs, did about 10 and its looking really good.

Cheers,

Yeah I looked at those numbers and I still think they are conservative, just like the "law" that these motors blow up with stock rods at over 700hp.

I got my rating info from Todd K on the clutch I got (he sold it to the guy who sold it to me) and figure that is a pretty darn good source.

And that meth stuff is pretty fun eh?

 

I was going to get this but then realized why not just put that money toward a push through MAF setup... it breathes much better...? If this is as good of a setup as people say, why doesn't everyone go this route?

I also have the sachs stage 3 kit w/ lwfw through BBi and love it!
