OS Gilken Twin Plate Owners...

[spiller]

they are a consumable component and the only reason they wear out is due to being slipped so short answer = yes, but in having said that i would rather wear out a clutch and be able to replace plates every 2 years than be changing other drivline related components so slip away (just not too much).

yeah you make a good point, espeically since i have a G series torsen in the rear of my car which have been known to lunch at any given time!

it's more people who ride it all the way up their driveway etc. I slip mine a normal amount at lights as well... better than chirping with every takeoff (there are other clutches for that )

Hey guys, cool forum

I was reading this as i've got a JZA80 RZ with a recently installed OS Giken TR2CD
Yep mine rattles when depressed...and sometimes just in neutral...i've grown to like it though!

Just a Q though, i'm still learning to drive the Twin plate properly...and am having different views as well (as i just dropped big money on this clutch...)
I'm trying to drive this a bit smoother but that means riding it a bit longer which apparently is really (moreso) bad for twin plates? Or the other option is to do higher rev and sometimes wheelspin?
I also find it hard to drive around town in terms of the revs dropping quickly (lightened flywheel)...maybe you guys are right i need to drive it like a bitch hehe

I havent done much driving, but i play with it as a regular clutch... Just a bit rougher with it... I.e. Im less forgiving, and if i notice im riding it a bit much, than i just dump it... But a low dump, not a burnout dump

I'd rather replace a clutch every year or so than a gearbox/diff/axle/tailshaft etc, every few months...
