Mad Clutch skipping!!

Mad Clutch skipping!!

Postby PeteGLH » Wed Jun 30, 2010 9:38 am

Hey all,

Recently changed my clutch and upgraded to Clutchmasters FX200. I love the clutch, grips awesome under WOT. Only problem is clutch engagement, it has mad chatter or skipping. I was under the impression that given it was a full face disk that it would have retained driveability but it seems not to be the case. The chatter/skipping was present prior to the upgrade but I was under the impression that that was caused by the bad/slipping clutch.

Has anyone else had this symptom with this upgrade?

Further note: Upon install, I came to realise that the previous owner had bypassed a part mounted to the transmission and joined the hydraulic clutch lines together. Between the Hydraulic Master Cylinder and Slave, there seems to be a part, mounted to the transmission, were the oil lines enter and come out. I'm assuming it was faulty and the p/o just took the lines out and fitted them together. Anyone know what the purpose of that part is, and what it would be called?

Thanks for any feedback.

Peter

I was planning on switching out my Spec 2+ clutch with the Clucthmasters FX200, because of all the chatter and harshness of the Spec clutch. It looks like I'll be waiting to see the outcome of your problem.

Good luck man.

Found out the part I was talking about is the clutch accumulator.... I will replace it and advise if I feel any change...
General comments about the FX200 clutch from users on this board was generally good, which is why I went that route.
I'll keep you guys posted with updates!
