Message	Why not use more aggressive material and a lighter spring so as to reduced axial loading on the crank while still maintaining a greater holding power. I mean it would require the use of more expensive friction material and the clutches wouldn't last as long.....but I'd rather be replacing clutches ever 10,000 miles or so than replacing bearings. Just my take. "The 300ZX Turbo is a dance; it's a song; it's rolling, roaring automotive art. There is no color that doesn't suit it. There is no mood-lifting chemical substance it can't replace." - Automobile Magazine

(Specialty-Z) 19:15:36 02/17/08 I don't know about that. The pivot point or fulcrum - AZHeat 19:54:13 02/17/08 Your looking at it wrong I think....... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 20:05:25 02/17/08 remember the pressure comes from compressing - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 20:24:21 02/17/08 Gotcha, makes sense now. - AZHeat 20:30:28 02/17/08 You would not want to use a 4000 LBS clamp load..... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:24:14 02/17/08 No doubt there. - Spddracer 18:36:36 02/17/08 Who is "we"?Do you work for SouthBend or help in the design?

(Specialty-Z) 18:18:14 02/17/08 Mitsubishi what? (n/m) - Spddracer 18:19:35 02/17/08 I would have to ask RPS. I do remember him telling me it was - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:41:45 02/17/08 Doesn't look the same. Did they change later? - DVDBURN (MD) 18:38:36 02/17/08 That is a generic picture of the Carbon..... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:43:08 02/17/08 Ah... - DVDBURN (MD) 18:46:12 02/17/08 Our plate is not a Mitsu pressure plate. (n/m) - Spddracer 18:43:21 02/17/08 Sure looks just like the plate RPS uses in the Z Carbon (n/m) - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:45:54 02/17/08 Could be, No idea what RPS uses in that kit. - Spddracer 18:51:43 02/17/08 I hope not! - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:53:59 02/17/08 I thought you just said you used this same plate - Spddracer 19:03:23 02/17/08 Southbend plate does look like the Carbon plate... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 19:07:54 02/17/08 And maybe RPS did not use it because of its cost. - Spddracer 19:27:21 02/17/08 wrong...... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 19:40:38 02/17/08 Is the Carbon carbon a push release or pull release type? (n/m) - AZHeat 18:42:16 02/17/08 Push (n/m) - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:44:01 02/17/08 dxd-fx ftw!
