inline clutch fluid speed reducer ??
I am just wondering if they make something like this that will help take the shock off the trans during shifting ... I am using a act extreme pressure plate and 4 puck sprung and when I'm racing just seems like there's alot of shock during shifts
I don't know if they made something that would go inline with the clutch line so fluid can travel fast one way (I.e. pushing in the clutch pedal) and travel slower when releasing the pedal so it would ease with the shock between shifts
If they make something like this can someone please point me i n the right direction thank you

My wife's uncle races pro mod motorcycles and it was interesting to look at logs from bikes with slipper clutches and adjust based on time from clutch switch to 1:1 shaft speed.

The magnus control valve is only for launch, it is based off a line lock setup, so after the launch it becomes disengaged and doesn't help for any other shifts.

Fluid is too inconsistent to really do anything with it, it is very prone to temperature changes. Along with the throw out bearings that are currently available.

Yes.
I know nost people use these valves for reducing shock to the drivetrain, but I see some other benefits if you played around with it. Btw, I'm just toying with the slip at launch, not the rest of the shifts. I'm sure you see where I going with this

Miller, have you played with fcv's to purposefully slip the clutch? Pro and cons other than fluid inconsistencies?

Re: inline clutch fluid speed reducer ??
I see what you mean. We don't use the fcv.
I don't see how you could tune the clutch/pressure plate without logging the engine vs input shaft rpm. That's the only reason to know whats going on between shifts

Andy, I've been logging this and have run the Tilton FCV with all 3 pills. Even the smallest pill does not slow the clutch fluid enough to do what you are trying to do with it.

I played with the FCV in the past and James is dead spot on. The tilton piece is not what you are looking for.
I made one for my car a little while back that has 10 settings of slip. It's pretty trick just didn't see any consistency with the fluid. I tried different fluids and it was just to
Unstable to get it how I wanted. Maybe if I dedicated my time and energy to it I could figure it out but I have moved on from it.
This will destroy clutches! Carbon clutches don't deal with the heat and make it hard to work with due to how they also react to heat.

Do the RWD guys that run slipper clutches use different friction material?
