have you heard of carbon clutch. im looking at a clutch for a 17 mustang and saw carbon. thoughts

Kevlar is actually a trademark name as kevlar is just a brand. The actual material is called aramid fibre! There are multiple companies making this stuff

Great video, had a neighbor kid install a race(metal) clutch and it lasted only a couple months in an everyday driving application. What a waste the kid would not listen. He wasted so much money. Nice thing he owned up to the mistake and installed a street clutch that lasted several years now.

This man produces some of the most informative and easy-to-understand car-tech videos on the internet. It's not just that he answers questions people have, it's that he's good at explaining aspects of each concept in the correct order for best comprehension.

Very well explained and thank you for including the downsides. When modifying cars I find people tend to mention the pros but not the cons of a product. I didn't know you could get multi-plate clutch conversions, that's new to me. I don't like using the word upgrade for such things as they are also a downgrade in many ways, they're more of an alternative.

@d4a

3 жыл бұрын

I get your point and a few people commented about the upgrade wording already. However, it is an upgrade and not an alternative when you're increasing power and torque. It's an upgrade because it's getting you what you need at the price of something that's less relevant in relation to the end goal of a significantly modified vehicle. A bulletproof vest is definitely an upgrade from a t-shirt when you're trying not to get killed. Yes, it's heavier than a t-shirt but that's irrelevant in respect to your goal and a very small price to pay 😊 a weird example but you get the point

Yes, there are downsides but there are exceptions also. clutch choice is very difficult and good ones can be very expensive. Just because you have a twin plate doesn't necessarily mean it's always less drivable, chatters or is heavy under foot. In my instance (2.4L stroker motor in a evo TME) the stock clutch is very light, so a little extra pedal feel makes it easier to predict clutch take up, still being a sprung centre means it doesn't bang on engagement and the right friction compounds plus double the amount of friction material means it's relatively easy to drive albeit able to cope with more torque (739nm on run in tune, low boost).. My wife can drive it, and in traffic with little fuss. I was lucky, I got my clutch for free, my brother was the sales rep and they used my car as a test bed to make a capable but user friendly clutch.

Multiplate wet clutches usually found on motorcycles...being immersed in oil would reduce friction which seems to operate counter to what you want to do. Some high performance cars use wet clutches too. Please discuss. Love the channel...looking forward to next instalment talking about flat engines aka 180° vee config.

Motorcycles usually get around this by having a lot of plates, sometimes 6 or more, so there is a huge amount of surface area to combat the friction loss from the oil.

@ImnotgoingSideways

3 жыл бұрын

I'd really like to know why multiplate and multiplate-wet clutches aren't more common in cars. I assume wet clutches have a major downside of gumming up whatever oil they're in. But what prevents multiplate clutches being the norm? Most motorcycles I'm aware of only ever run multiplate. Engagement with those is so light, it can be done by hand. I can't imagine the price gap being so terribly wide when done at the OEM level. At least, please say it's not built-in obsolescence...

@philholland5285

@@ImnotgoingSideways motorcycles get around this by have a unique oil spec (JASO oil class MA) the MA means that the oil is capable of suspending the additional sediment from the wet clutch, and doesn’t include friction modifiers that would cause undesirable clutch slip. Additionally, bike engines also need to have different additive mixtures in them as the engine and transmission share a sump. (Motorcycle engines also run a fair bit hotter and spin faster than car engines which also effects oil quite negatively as well

Man you are seriously good at what your doing,top notch

This channel is so flipping incredible, i can never get sick of this channel, love your work.

I learn something every time I watch your channel. You do a fantastic job of summing up information in a meaningful way. Really appreciate all the work you put into the content you prepare.

After having worked on cars for a number of years, this video still answered a lot of good questions that I had about clutches. Thank you for posting it.

Absolutely LOVE the informative videos you make. As a kid who grew up working on his own vehicle in the 70's I have seen all sorts of engine parts but I never fully understood how they work. THANK you for the time and effort you spend bringing us these well done videos! Be safe and stay well.

You never fail to deliver the facts, another bloody good effort mate. (A great, well researched and very informative video) 👍👍👍👍👍

started watching with your video on differentials, now im on a binger, I've always been mechanically inclined, and i'm always good for learning more

Quality content like no other channel!

This video did indeed come in clutch! Thanks alot for the high quality content

I love how you tend to start with basic components and introduce complexity as you move through the lesson. This provides an excellent understanding of the drawbacks of the basic components and also gives opportunity for discussing the pitfalls of these more complex solutions. Nothing comes free in this physical world, and I feel that you are dedicated to teaching this. Good work!!

wow this video was so complete

I rebuilt a 1925 Cadillac. It had a flathead V8 engine which had more power than most cars of the day. I was surprised to find it had a smaller diameter- about (7 or 8 inches) but more interesting, it was a stacked clutch assembly with no fewer than 7 clutch discs, separated by splined plates making it very similar to those very small clutch packs in an automatic transmission, although it was a dry clutch.

Very clear well explained video!!
