I can't help liking this guy ... maybe because he always looks like he's about to smile ... I hope he is a nice guy IRL

Not only is Mike passionate about these cars and parts... he explains so well why and how they work.

I just purchased one this morning and 10 seconds later thought to myself, “what have I done?”😰 …then I remembered this video and came back to watch it. All of my worries are gone. Thank you😎

The way Mike speaks, makes you feel the need to buy every part he is showing you. The best sales man.

At 8:49 the undercut for the drive dog is there to act as stress relief. If there was just a square corner, this is where a crack is likely to propagate from, ultimately causing failure of the intermediate plate.

It’s his cadence , very soothing.

This guy just answers any car questions I have. I search up a question about any part or an engine and MotoIQ comes up and 100% of my questions are answered lmao.

Every video on this channel is a jaw dropping display of knowledge and passion. Thank you for sharing your content freely with all the gearheads out there!

Love your product reviews Mike. Thank you for your insights!

Super under-rated channel, love the depth of the technical explanations

I'm just here to listen to you talk. Is so soothing and comforting.

Nice -- multi-plate clutch fibres and steels have been used on motorcycle clutches for years, specifically for the reasons Mike likes this XClutch twin-disc. If you look at the individual plates on say, a Hayabusa, tiny compared to an automotive performance application... but they're also 8 fibres and 7 steels to share transmitting that torque.... love this content, keep it going Mike 👍

Another awesome video!! I know a clutch is going to be in my near future and this looks like a pretty solid option. Thanks for sharing!

Love this guy. I could listen to him even talking about dirt all day. He has true passion, he makes it very interesting.

Great content as always!

excellent video, very informative.

I love this man! He's brilliant, and mellow at the same time. BRAVO!

Love the content. Keep up the amazing work 👍👍

You and dominic acia are my two go to guys for subaru knowledge cantbwait for more videos thanks for helping spread this knowledge

Thx , helping me inprove my skills

appreciate the effort and thought in putting this video together. it fleshed out what is involved with these types of builds and how a reputable builder would be thinking through a client request(or how someone would hope a reputable builder is thinking through their request). Also appreciated the confirmation on consulting. Once i landed on a builder(i'm in the Northeast), i was wondering if requesting a consulting session is something that is or can be done to talk through a potential build(for a cost) and if those cost could go toward eventual build. While every shop may be different, it was good to see this is not an uncommon practice. If I may make a recommendation, it would be a great to see a follow up video reviewing what a customer should look for and be prepared to discuss when "interviewing' potential builders and what they should be prepared for(a consulting fee...shops worked hard for that knowledge). An educated customer, is a happy customer and a good customer. Thank you again for this vid. great stuff...it's unfortunate MotoIQ is a bit of a drive for me.

I found this gentleman to be very informative and one of the best presenters I've ever seen. I go back time and time again to look at his tutorials and the gain his wisdom

Love this, thank you!

Brilliant, I will be checking these out, cheers

Thanks Mike and Motoiq. Always enjoy the in-depth knowledge you’re sharing.

Quick note: didn't realize this vid was 2 years old! Everything I said still stands tho ^.^ fantastic educational video. Came here trying to research chromoly vs alloy for my mazdadspeed 3 build. I got just that but so much more! I learned a ton about clutches in general from you, everything you said made sense to me ; I can perform basic maintenance but anything else I'm potato brained. Definitely subscribed! ^.^ keep it up my guy.

Mike is the best. Always buttery smooth delivery and easy to listen to.

That looks like a really well thought out twin disc clutch.

Can I just come hang out with Mike and listen to his wisdom for a week? I'd turn wrenches for his wealth of knowledge. Seriously.

Love your content so much!! This will help me out with the hatchie. ;)

This is fantastic content. Please keep it up. I really dig the energy you deliver when dropping knowledge on us. Stay Safe, -Luis

Interesting. I didn't know about pull type throw out bearings. I wonder if that would help mitigate the higher thrust bearing wear from heavier diaphragm springs.

I’ve been running Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch (pn# DF749834) on my 307whp BRZ for 2 years, it’s quite awesome.

Damn I love seein all them cars in the back ground 300z Sentra teggy old school maxima rsx bmw tryin to see if that’s a 89 accord baige color

I bought this clutch because of you, and I can honestly say, thank you!!! Also I’ve rewatched this video over a dozen times, and it never gets old ❤

This video is the reason I bought this clutch

Love it. Keep up the tech content!

Great video!!

always the best content!

this thing is beautiful! Definitely gotta keep them in mind.

Wow, this guy is GREAT! Keep it up

He is a car industry goat, and not a jerk about knowing more about how a car works then anyone I know. His realness comes through in that smile. Embarrassed or whatever to be on camera shows he a cool human.

My favorite channel on KZfaq.

I could listen to his voice/this video when falling asleep at night, he has an interesting doctor/mechanic voice

Good guy, good content, keep it coming

I have the push type version that XClutch makes and i love it... Hella Chatter though but piece off mind of not having a weak clutch is key. I bet this pull design produces a lot less chatter.

i Smashed that like button! shared and commented for the algorithm !

"Annoying to drive slowly like on the highway" Must be a Cali thing 😂

Great video

Uncle you made me buy this clutch after this video! Thank you so much 🤙🏽

another calming video

I'm going to need one of these when I build my Factory 5 818.

ORC dual plate is same thing, I luv it. 400hp 670nm and it is super strong, Using carbon fibre syncro's in my setup and moded shifters, dont know if that makes it different

I can listen to him for days

Dang I’ve got that clutch! It’s sorta heavy.. but can definitely handle the power and is super smooth. It’s also amazing for launches, I can use the clutch to determine how much wheel spin I have depending on how fast I let it out and how much rpm I set my launch control to. Makes for a perfect launch every single time no joke.

I can't stop seeing videos from this guy!!! And now I want a 800hp Subaru STI for some reason... hahahahhha!

That's a sweet lookin clutch

Great content

Thank you Mike much respect

great video. enjoy high tech

Love these videos lots of OG's don't share this type of knowledge freely although I guess they still make something off these vids

Merci beaucoup, pour le partage !!!

Hey Mike, I love your channel. Would you still recommend this clutch? I have a BMW M2 with about 685whp and am in need of a new clutch. Thank you so much!

I just bought one of these to replace an Exedy twin disc with a broken spring after only 8k miles. I can't wait to see the difference. Also can't wait to get 1st and reverse back...

Mike sounds like he used to hang out with Jeff Spicoli. This and his happy demeanour make these a great watch.

Ah man few parts make me more excited to think about adding to my build as a twin disk clutch

Well explained

What's the word on rebuilding or replacing clutch disks on this in the future? I don't see any parts support online. Thoughts on this?

Super heavy clutches also put extra wear upon the firewall and other parts that interact with the clutch, like clutch fork, pedal box. I know this because I had a stage 2 cermetallic three puck clutch, worst idea ever. I broke some weld points on my firewall, cracked the torque tube on the pedal box assembly, bent my clutch fork, popped the slave and master clutch cylinder on my 2010 WRX. I think the only good thing to come from that was I learned how to install a dash, and clutch system into the car, along with some added bracing.

Is that a B13 SE-R in the back? God iloved those cars. I wish i could find an hnmolested one these days.

Great content, thanks MotoIQ! Does XClutch make one for the Porsche 987.1 Cayman S?

this will be my next clutch on my Evo 6, thank you!

If you're this far in, you have a junk trans or can find one. Cutting the splined portion off of the input shaft is another way to get a metal alignment tool...

Pretty sweet

great info- 2019 gt mustang listened too you- install in progress-ty

Nothing revolutionary about this clutch, but very clever combination of all existing designs. Clearly very high quality and terrific attention to detail. Kudos. Just wish it was not a gaudy color.

Funny thing about the "undercuts" on the floater disc is......it literally may just be the easiest way to machine the ears onto the disc when the end mill (tool used for side cutting in maching) cuts the ears, so that there's no interference from any chamfers between the floater and the flywheel. Usually the "undercuts" are called "Mickey Mouse ears".

One thing I learned is that the metal alignment tool avoids all that "fiddle farting" :)

Love this guy

Where does the engagement start in the peddle range?

Hi Mike, thx for the informative video, do you know if Xclutch make one for BMW 335i ? i know there are a single F/wheel OEM replacement (duble F/wheel) which allows for more HP but its very noise at Idle. Tx in advance

Just got mine installed on my N54 335i. Breaking it in for now👍🏽

Bout ready to use my ACT clutch as a damn frisbee...

That Blue B13 is making me miss mine...

awesome

mike keep this going :)

what's a good replacement for a stock 2018 STI?.. looking for something to replace my daily driven STI.

How does this compare to the newer clutch masters 850 Strapped Series Twin Disc Clutch? Their "strapped" series has the same feature preventing the rattling noise.

Looks like the perfect clutch. now put it in the Sti and let us hear it. Also interested on short term impressions. Specifically how a 11lb flywheel does in a heavy awd, high torque car. My Sti has a 15lb flywheel and i have to be very mindful on hills to burn it to the ground achieving enough rpm to get going.

Great video! I'm just looking to replace my noisy, twin plate clutch in my Subaru and this looks to be a great option! Do you have the part number for it?

Would this be a good clutch for an STI on a Stage 2 working on trying to reach 400whp next with turbo and fueling upgrades coming next!

What's your experience been like with this clutch on track? I'm looking for a replacement clutch for my evo x and it's been between this and the exedy twin disc ceramic. I also looked at McLeod Mag Force SE but they only seem to make it for evo 8/9. Only do about 5 track days a year.

C4 Corvette with ZF6 have a pull type. Oh & 1st gen Dodge Vipers

coud this be a good alternativ to doublemass flywheel on a diesel engine? My flywheel and clutch cant handle the power and abuse, but it also needs to be comfortble to drive

I haven’t even hit the break in miles on my Exedy stage 1 HD and I’m already kicking myself 🤦‍♂️ I already spent years with a stage 2 single disc and a light flywheel having annoying misfire codes.

anyone know the part number for evo? multiple models available.

We're do I get one ?

I ve bought this fantastic piece of engineering It works perfectly on my Sti 600 hp but when I press the cluth a noise appears only on that moment. It is a "normal" behave? once you release it the noise is gone.

GIVE US MORE!

Is the clutch pedal heavy ? When shifting gears?
