Ok, this is a new concept and its still in early development. I hope that everyone will take the time to read this course and post comments here. Good/bad i dont care.. I need the feedback to make future classes better. Hopefully these classes are useful.
We tried to give the basics of what a clutch is, what you need to know when buying one, and all the clutches are available. A few specs are missing on some of the clutches, but they are becoming hard to find.
Read up and let me know what you think. Your feedback will shape the future of these classes.
The recommendation page, imo, isn't 100%.. it's just a guide. We will continue to work on it. And try to provide factual data. Personally, I was hoping the recommendations would come down to discussion, and not just black and white.
Very nice write up. One comment is on the What is it section and since a lot of people will propbably be newbies reading, it might be better to keep all info car related as not to confuse people.
The RPS 6-puck flywheel/clutch combo will definitely hold up to most forced induction applications. This setup was recommended to me by Darren from Intense Motorsports. Its a great clutch and not very expensive.
I will do a little more work on the 350z clutches page. Thanks for the feedback so far..
I'm not a car mechanic, but I am mechanically inclined and how things work interests me. But I could barely get through the how a clutch works section. It really needs pics. Without pics for a n00b like myself you could have called everything a doohicky, and it would have read the same to me.
I don't know if the exploded view of a clutch assembly would help but it might. With arrows pointing to the parts you are referencing?
Just a suggestion, and again the wife is trying to drag me to Wal-mart so my concentration isn't at its peak.
Overall I think this classes are great, it will hopefully limit the "what (insert aftermarket part here) should I buy . . . suggestions?" posts. They could go right to the tutorial.
Well, I think it's layed out very well, easy to read and well thought out and put together. I just have no use for it.......since Lucy is 5AT! :wink: People that have autos prolly won't even look or comment :dunno: I didn't even open the thread b/c it's irrelavant to me! :lol:
I have to say that I truely like the ideas of the classes section on the site. Its a good place for the not so mechanically inclined person to learn a little more before they just go out and buy something that they might not necessarily need for their car.
Terri woke the PW's up....so what's all this about? Ahhhh...clutches. I've heard about those pesky things...and I think there is some kinda clutch do-dad in my 5AT but not like the one you are discussing here. When you get around to valve body upgrades and options I'll be back.
Moldy works his clutch like butter on hot bread so I doubt he'll need a new one for some time.

This was the premis behind the classes. This is only the first one and I am looking for as much feedback as possible to make future ones better. Even the AT guys need to read through it because the next course may cover something you are interested in.
