I had a comp twin disc in my car with about 10 passes @ the track on it. The clutch pedal was very high almost @ the top before it disengaged. I took it apart and replaced it with a new twin disc. My question is can the old twin be fixed @ all? Who do I go to for this and what needs to be done?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

What company did you buy the first clutch from?

 

chances are you probably over threw the spring, you should be able to send it back to them to have it replaced. ive sent clutches to tilton for spring replacement, it cost about 200 dollars or so.

put a pedal stop on it next time.

are you going to take a sony tv back to walmart for warrenty ?

 

Did you replace it with one of the same brand and it worked?

 

i've been using a competition twin disc without a pedal stop for about 2 years now and havnt had a single problem what so ever.

Sorry, didnt pay attention to the "comp" part. So I assume he's talking about Competition Clutch.

 

anyone know the thread size to thread a bolt into the clutch pedal assembly to make a pedal stop(replacing the switch). I've been thinking of doing it to shorten the clutch throw anyways.

what, you wanna know too?

 

it's the same as the one for the tranny mount bolt w/c i think is 12x1.25

 

I will check mine tomorrow to see if I have a stop on it. Thanks for the info guys!

 

you guys understand that is adding a pedal stop in the wrong direction right?

the pedal stop needs to stop the pedal when you are pushing the clutch down, not when your foot is off of the clutch.

most honda's have a factory 10mm nut in the floor that can easily be used to bolt down whatever you want to use for a pedal stop. i usually make the pedal stops adjustable.

Thanks dude I was wondering what thay would do on the top of the clutch pedal! I am going to work on that today!

yeah i know, i was talking about putting a bolt in the upper clutch switch hole where the clutch start switch goes. just take a bolt and a jam nut to lock it in place, makes it adjustable.

 

yea but that adjusts it in the wrong direction. doing it like that you are only adjusting the free play in the clutch, however when you push the clutch in you are still over extending the throw which is what are you trying to stop with the pedal stop.

another words you need to limit the travel when you push the clutch in, not when you let off of the clutch with the set up you have going on right now.

 

The top hole makes the stop in the right direction of travel, but the problem with doing it that way is that you have so much leverage on the stop that everything flexes. A proper stop goes behind the clutch pedal on the bottom, between your foot and the floor.

i guess you understand what im saying. the top hole limits how far you can press the clutch in, to limit its travel. Joe i think you are thinking of the lower switch that sits where the clutch pedal rests when no foot is on it. there is 2 switches on the clutch pedal assembly.

tony i understand what you are saying about the flex being that the stop would be up that high but have you personally seen that happen or just speculating cause i don't want to waste to much time on it. I know the clutch pedal arm is pretty stout stuff though.

 

ah ok i got what your saying now. again, we always do it on the floor

I like doing it on the floor also, lol! I dont know how much flex you would get in the clutch pedal bracket either, but the floor is where I do it in my installations. The stop bolt in the bracket should work, never tried it but may dtry it just to see the flex action.
