Dual friction clutches - ginge191 - 24-03-2013
Just browsig clutches for the new build and come across some dual friction clutch kits.
I don't want to be spending out too much on a paddle clutchC and these aren't far off Valeo prices.
Anyone had any experience on these? I'm awaiting a reply from CG anywho.

Sounds like a gimmick to me.

They will of course be lovely while they're are ripping you off for £££ of your hard earned but don't ever expect them to fix a problem or refund you. I very nearly took them to court but in the end even for the cost of 2 shit clutches from them it wasn't worth the hassle.

RE: Dual friction clutches - ginge191 - 24-03-2013
wow, a turn of events it seems.
Any other brands/clutches you could recommend dum-dum?
RE: Dual friction clutches - Dum-Dum - 24-03-2013
Id run a second hand one from the scrap yard before i ran a CG, it would probably last longer.
Helix are very good but a bit pricey, sachs are supposed to be good too.

My CG paddle is fine.
They are cheap, but for the money I can't complain.
RE: Dual friction clutches - darrenjlobb - 25-03-2013
Meh genuinely don't know why i still bother posting advice anymore,
All ill say is CG are cheap products, yes, fairly low quality parts yes to a degree, but the pressure plates are genuine AP / valeo units in general, and the friction discs arnt THAT bad, for what you pay, you wont hold the same torque with any other clutchs on the market, Mine was in my car for 2 years without fault, and if you ask anyone that has rode passenger with me, they will tell you I totally ra*e the clutch, so as far as im concerned its been a great clutch and couldnt have asked for more...
Contact them directly for a price, the website is hopeless and prices are all way over what you acaully have to pay.

I emailed him about the dual friction clutches and he said to stick to a 4 paddled clutch; sound right? in regards to price, I'll get onto then?
RE: Dual friction clutches - darrenjlobb - 25-03-2013
Just get the totally unsprung 4 paddle yes, there cheap, so any extra features (springs) are just more likely to fail, and springs in cluths are for girls anyway haha, i doubt ull be using the car for anything other than a rag, so who cares if its a it jumpy wen its cold!
RE: Dual friction clutches - CJ_Derv - 25-03-2013
Is it just for the challenge car? , ive got a cg paddle sprung sat in garage which took off the blaze when had accident dont know what meats like but felt ok on blaze before she died done about 7k a think cant guage how much meat has been used as they are made from diff stuff to standarf but if you cover postage and packaging im willing to donate this to you bud can take some pics tonight of it if u want IMO i think shes got a few 1000 miles left in her
Ive had 3 CG up to now and they seems ok to me one had a noisy thrust bearring but hey we drive dervs
RE: Dual friction clutches - ginge191 - 25-03-2013
@lobb; cheers for the info, I know max uses his pretty much daily and doesn't find the clutch too harsh
CJ that sounds amazing!! Would honesty be epic!
As for pressure plate; standard plates goes on or have you got a spare?
