    RPS Twin Plate Carbon-Carbon Clutch Experiances

    Soooo, I got one of these a few months ago, finally got to installing it along with a whole heap of other drivetrain gear (the full SCE Kit) and have been driving it around for a few weeks.

    The Good:
    -It grips like shit to a carpet if you drop it.
    -if you get it right, it does have a decently smooth engagement.
    -when driven in anger it just works...clunk and the engine is 100% connected to your gearbox, my last clutch was pretty bad or annoying in that you let the clutch out and it felt like it took a few seconds for the plates to fully grab.

    The bad:
    -it was very much on off until the first time I dropped the clutch at 5krpm :|
    -I'm guessing I warped the plates installing the box or something as it does not always completely disenguage the clutch when the pedal is all the way down...stays engaged enough to actually pull the revs down a fair amount.
    -Slight honk just as the clutch is engaging, other wise only a faint hiss.


    Can anyone else who's had one of these let me know if their experiances are similar? I suspect that when installing the clutch I did not lube the input shaft enough which is why the clutch plates are sticking....I also suspect I got some oil on the plates themselves (even through I was fairly careful) which is why they are a bit more grabby than I expected
