Performance Clutch - Explained

  • Опубликовано: 13 июн 2024
  • What is a performance clutch? Clutch kit? How does a performance clutch work? A performance clutch basically involves three changes over traditional organic clutches. This video features a Yonaka performance clutch kit. A performance clutch has a higher clamping force on the pressure plate (via the diaphragm spring). Performance clutches use different materials which can absorb less heat and that don't lose performance at higher temperatures. Finally, performance clutches use a "puck" design, 3 puck, 4 puck, 6 puck, which increase the pressure on the friction material, to prevent slip.

      Cody I don't think that you have a learning disability. Understanding this guy speak means you pay close attention to all the details that he gets into and you know that he doesn't leave out any important information. What you have is the same problem I have. You have a higher than normal IQ and more information to you opens more questions that ask from you more answers to understand the full picture. Most people will settle with little details or just not bother to ask questions and staying in the comfort zone. But you can go further. The problem is not in you it's I'm nearly 100% of teachers today that are too lazy to stressed to actually teach motivate and explain with examples.

    Depending on the material. You have to remember that at a microscopic scale the pressure forces the material into grooves of the material it's being pressed against. Like a tire on a road, as it's pressed into the road, it has more grip. With tires, the pressure is generally pretty high, so increasing the surface area still allows for the tire to sink in, and thus it is a net gain. There is likely a similar balance with clutches.

    You can also just run a "puck" disc with the stock pressure plate and due to the reduced surface area get more plate load. Probably should talk more about clutch "chatter" as there are two kinds; The first being rough engagement when taking off in first gear, and the second being rough running from also changing from a heavy/dual mass flywheel to a light one when doing a clutch like this (which is common, especially on German cars). Couple things to be aware of:
    1. First gear engagement tends to be harsher (one kind of chatter)
    2. If you do go LWFW, just sitting at idle in neutral the natural dampening from a heavy flywheel is reduced and it can make noise like you are throwing a rod (2nd kind of chatter). On modern cars (for instance German stuff with clutched alternators) this will beat the crap out of the alternator which is expensive to replace, especially if you also run a un-dampened light front pulley
    I've run lots of the ceramics including 6puck sprung, 4 puck unsprung and even 3 puck sprung. The 3 and 4 puck ones on my little 1.6l Toyota 4AGE engines worked like nearly stock including with a LWFW (other than a 'hunting' idle), but with the 6 puck and a LWFW on my Audi, it was a big mistake. Those motors need that flywheel and it killed my alternator in about 30k miles as well as sounding horrible when the AC was on and at idle and being difficult to take off in first gear without clutch shudder; Lesson there is, it all depends on the application as to what you are going to experience. There's always tradeoff's with any change, and make sure you are ok with what those will be in your application including potentially heavier pedal feel, different engagement point, roughness/NVH, and both kinds of chatter.

    @Ijuststopthepucksbro 4 года назад +2

    Excellent video. I myself just got a stage 3 clutch (6 puck) for my Z, and everything you described is what I experienced driving with it for the first time.
    Yes, it's a little harder to engage smoothly from a complete stop in 1st gear... even 2nd gear gets touchy at times. So i recognize i have a narrower "sweet spot" for releasing the clutch, and like you said, slightly higher RPMs have mitigated the "first gear shimmies," if you will.
    I'm still breaking the clutch in, so I haven't gone too hard with it ye. But I expect to be rewarded when it's time to push it around some winding roads. Better shifts, more responsiveness and torque upon shifting, less wear under harsh conditions because it can handle higher temperatures.
    Let's hope so anyway... ;)
    Thanks for another great vid.

    I recommended that if you plan on leaving it stock. If you plan on upgrading, by all means, upgrade the clutch to compensate. You won't see much benefit from an upgraded clutch on a stock motor, as the original clutch could handle the power fine (likely). Also, you'd be making your clutch engagement a little more rough, and you'll have to press the pedal with more force.

    You are right, it depends on material. Friction force usually consists of adhesive and deformation part. I do not suppose that clutch is constructed so that the deformation part is predominant (I may be wrong) because it would lead to intensive wear. The adhesive force increases with pressure, however not proportionally. I guess that purpose of clutch segmentation is to allow better heat and debris dissipation.
    You are doing great videos. Thanks.

    You have to design the teeth to mesh, but yes it can certainly be done, and is frequently done with all manual transmissions. Rarely are the gear ratios a combination of integers.
