One of the only good explanations out there. Its amazing how ignorant even some mechanics seem when it comes to things like this. Very underated channel... thank you!

Anyone else noticed the rear wheels spinning as he mentioned clutch connecting to transmission 👀

You guys should do more “All you need to know” videos on the 86. Great explanation! 👍🏾

Thanks bro I’m putting stock back in my 13 5.0, phew I almost bought a 3 stage or “puck” set up; had no idea they speed up transmission wear

YES, it's so nice to see when people actually rate a clutch by the torque - NOT that 'power' BS! I would also suggest, for those who are winding their engine to very high rpm, that 'burst strength' may also be an important criteria. However, you didn't mention the importance of a Marcell Spring, which is the primary reason for a smoother, more progressive engagement - some standard and aftermarket 'organic' friction plates didn't have them and are rather abrupt in take-up, there are aslo some rare sintered and ceramic friction plates that do have them and they are much more suitable for high performance street driving. You also failed to mention the importance of the hub springs and their affect on general driving, as they also have a significant affect on clutch take-up - and the reduction in inertia using a plain hub has on the vehicle. With the pressure plate, it is worth checking with the supplier as, by altering the diaphram's effective pivot point there can be an increase on clamping force with a stronger spring, but the same pedal effort but with a longer pedal travel. You also missed out, completely, the different clutch diameter options that are available, especially if replacing the flywheel with a ligher one - even the number of friction plates.

Great video man. Really explained what I needed to know

Awesome, I've been waiting for something like this

that clutch animation was incorrect, the clutch fork pressing on the pressure plate relieves pressure on the clutch disk. not the way it is shown; pressing the clutch disk into the flywheel.

Thank you so much for indept detail and your professionalism. Unlock other videos where they are vulgar and focus too much on themselves and waste too much time. Thanks bro.

6 years later still an awesome video

Great explanation. Meaningful. thank you so much

You forgot the release aka"throwout" bearing. Sprung vs unsprung disc. Unsprung makes it harder to drive if you are a noob, but less to go wrong. A cheap release bearing can be trouble so check its ply. If it's tight your good, if not get the oem one from the dealer for about $50. Or look for a national or timken bearing. I am looking for a specific piece of info on how to identify disc compatibility spline count and offset. Still haven't found it. The options for my BMW were limitless, but for the jeep not so much. I dont want a sprung disc. Not gonna race it, but a sprung disc make engagement jerky.

Did anyone else notice that their diagram is wrong? When you push in the clutch it engages the clutch?

I learned a lot here

You guys are don't a fantastic job. Keep it up!

Great video, im looking into getting a new clutch and i wasn’t sure what was best for my car and I

The heavier flywheel is better for drag racing because it helps keep the RPMs up when shifting. , light is better for road course cars.

I have a ZL1 with the engine upgraded to 800 HP at the crank shaft with the Torque increased to near 750. Mostly street use, I cannot locate the OEM Clutch specs for the PRE Modified Engine 580 HP, and am wondering what you recommend as a clutch replacement. Some folks recommend installing a clutch rated similarily as the engine HP and Torque? The dealership recommends OEM for the Pre modified engine specs...also a a 1000 HP rated clutch has been suggested?

So for a daily driver on 2015+ WRX I should choose which clutch and flywheel? Also, since this cars have ugly TOB issues, which should I go with? My sense is a stock TOB with an aftermarket clutch and flywheel?? Thanks!!

@FT86SpeedFactory ... You guys should do a video where you do a full engine bay dress up video !

Hey ik dis video is old but I jus wanted to ask what do u think is the best race clutch for a 350z

the only thing you missed was self adjusting pressure plates. i have one in my ford truck and they are kind of a mystery?

Which would be the best option for daily any brand recommendations?

Doesn't lightweight flywheel effect the torque

I actually prefer a heavier clutch, learned on a heavy clutch and ever since then every clutch is easy as duck

I bought this ca18det engine with clutch attached. Noticed it's impossible to bush the clutch fork with my hand after installing it to the engine. Is this normal as my engine is still off the car.

No mention of multiplate clutches?

i just ordered my OEM Exedy flywheel along with the OEM Exedy clutch kit. hopefully it works just fine. :)

Forgot to mention breaking trans and engine mounts.

I want a 5 Puck clutch

basically if your not hitting the track every weekend just get the organic stuff dudes

yay

Where can i find a billet aftermarket clutch fork and pin for my 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT?

Great Information, Please suggest can we use the after market clutch in any car? Can I use in my i20 Asta 2011 model

Anyone who can do my DSG clutch replacement in worcester birmingham etc.

Is there any full face ceramic clutches or not? Never ever seen one before

1:15 is wrong diagram. When you Press the pedal it presses the pressure plate "leaf's" that releases clutch from the fly wheel not the other way around.

Can I install performance clutch in any car?

Tipalgee 2:26

My local mechanics are telling me this, "If we install a performance clutch we will not be responsible if something happens to your manual clutch system, it is better for us to order and install the OEM clutch part." Do they have a point or are they after making more money?

When you installed the ACT clutch with flywheel, did you have to adjust the clutch pedal height? Having issues with it disengaging .

Do u need too be tune after a clutch replacement upgrade

Is there any clutch just as good as Clutch Master FX300 but not that heavy when you step on it?

I see what you did there.

All in all pick whatever you want lol

Rhinopac is all you need

2:26 wtf did you just say lmfaoo?

DO NOT BUY MPACT CLUTCHES. mine blew up, causing catastrophic clutch failure and MPACT DID NOT CARE

dudee, your explanation and animations are miles better than "engineering explained" :D keep up the great work !

1:04 My mechanic teacher would say...No! NOOOOOO! Nooooo! Opposite! OPPOSITE of what you say!! he he....sorry!

Waauuu

So I guess just show incorrect graphics and explanations? Lol

damn this dude cute as hell no homo

Jesus Christ! Why is the music so much louder than the voice presentation!? I have to keep reaching for the mouse to turn the volume down when watching other videos that do this as well when I watch them at night next to my sleeping wife. Yeah, I know, get headphones right?

wish you didn't look exactly like this one guy i fucking hate because you seem alright

time attack race track car??? Noob ricer enter apex too early and inflict unnecessary g force, wasting tires,best turning ,too much steer.

You're explanation is reversed. When you press the clutch, the plate spring disengages the disc. When you let go the entire assembly turns as one and the release bearing is not pressing the plate springs. Plz remove this video. It's too much misinformation.
