Looking at a competion paddle clutch... But abit unsure as I here they can be very juddery.....

I've only ever used standard clutches like the exedy pink when I say standard I mean the solid non paddle type...

I'm currently running 350ish but will be looking to up the power when funds allow to say 420 approx

I'm just wondering how juddery are we talking having not experienced it just wondering what it like to drive with them ??

 

Wont need a paddle clutch my exedy pink is holding out at nearly 500bhp paddle clutches are the most horrid things on a road car when and if mine fails will be getting a twin plate. I used to run paddle clutches in my cossie days, spent most of the time stalling it, traffic jams were my worst nightmare lol

 

they are hardwork in traffic as there is no riding the clutch
they are on or off and can be juddery
they do take some getting use to

 

So Basicly the judder is it it either been on or off no middle ground, thanks for the info guys may have to give them a miss in that case, as not seem to be getting the best of reviews

 

They judder like mad as they are race clutches and the bite is on/off pulling away is horrid also need a leg like a body builder to press it.

You dont pull away with a paddle its more of a lurch or a stall

 

I used to have one in one of my daily cars. Held the power very well, wore out VERY fast and my god it was hard to drive. It's basically a switch. Great fun in traffic!

 

Sounds like it's a big fat no then lol

 

Just removed mine. Was a competition clutch stage 4. Wasnt the nicest of things to live with and overall made the car feel like a bag of hammers. Im fitting a pink box instead. Got it from as performance... By far cheaper than anyone else

 

Ive got a 6 paddle im my classic, its hard to ride it, judders like a **** but add a few revs and its fine. ive learnt to live with it and quite like the bite n go. hill start or slow move up hill in traffic is a nightmare. if the exhaust is loud then u just look like a *** lol

im working on wearing it out before changing.. i go engine out route

 

Cheers guys think I will give the paddle option a miss :/

 

exedy pink box will handle 420 all day long and very nice to use just make sure you skim your flywheel before fitting and it will be judder free

 

What's the average price of a exedy pink box for 6 speed anyone have a idea ?

 

be around 350 was years ago when i bought mine best to ask a few of the traders on here, think import car parts sell them at a decent price too, just make sure its a genuine one though.

 

See alyn at AS Performance for an exedy pink box clutch.
Too many people selling hooky Exedy units.
Buy from a reputable dealer!

 

I went with an ap racing organic clutch and held 435 bhp all day long, struggled with launching it as would slip a bit but now its bedded in properally doenst slip atall
