bought a new clutch today.. clutchnet 4 puck sprung clutch


and one of the "so called" car gurus at work said im gonna snap alot of axles when i put on my turbo.. is this true?

 

its not going to be the nicest engagement!

it will be rough, what kinda power are you putting down?

Rob

 

ive never sen anyone break an axle in thier honda..out of all the people who say they have..

however..even worse..i know i kid who had a exedy 3 puck unsprung hub who snapped 3 si trannies in his rex. but i guess thats becuz it hit sooo hard it would just snap the tranny before it could even be transferred to the axles...

as long as u dont has some wrinkle walls and launch at 5k rpm ull be ok

 

i'd say only around 220 whp

 

damn dude...hope you're not planning to make that into a daily driver

 

My buddy has snapped his axles 3 times....he just has a JDM H22a with LSD....

 

if ur racing on slicks with enough power and that clutch. u will break an axle sooner or later.

 

yes its gonna be a daily driver.. i dont really care about how hard i need to push down on the pedal.. and im not gonna get on it and try to chirp gears or anything.. will i be okay?

 

Before Hybrid901 got his DSS axles he would snap them like they werent **** when he was racing. Im looking into a set of DSS's myself...

Hyrbid901 was breaking axles but, he does not have DSS axles. He has TCI stage 3's axles that, for what I understand, suppose to hold up to 350-400whp. . . . Here, I found it. Look at this. . . . . .

why in gods name did you buy a 4puck clutch.
my god you could use an organic DISK. you dont even need a puck based clutch.
return it.

you dont make enough power.

Someone tell me if it's even physically possible to snap axles on street tires, not DR's, regardless of Hp.

 

yes it is possible

 

I hope everyones jokeing right? Thats a sprung hub disc. I promise you that clutch will break before your axle will. I used to run a 3 puk unsprung hub in my race car and never broke an axle.

props to the 220hp, but that 4puck is a waste of money. driving for you is gonna suck *******, its gonna suck ******* 24-7. sell that bitch and get an organic street disk, you dont NEED a 4 puck. im lookin at pushing 400 hp and im only running the act extreme with org street disk, **** runnign a 6 or 4 puck.

I love my Action 6puck metalic...and I use it daily driven.

starting in 1st is a bit tricky, but with a little practice, it's easy as eating pie.

 

yeah... its possible... i have an Unorthodox Racing Stage 1+ Kevlar in my Si, and with only bolt ons, snapped a raxles like a twig...

 

nothing wrong with 6 puck or 4 puck...i run an act xtreme 6 puck (unsprung) daily and i love it.

 

you're going to try not to chirp gears? do you think you can "slip" a 4 puck clutch? dude, the whole point of a pucked clutch is INSTANT engagement. a 4 puck is going to chirp gears ALL DAY without you wanting it to!

 

The answer is YES. I have a 6 puck dual Diaphram with a clutchmasters 7.6 lb flywheel. I also have LSD and I have broken two axles in the last 3 months. both were driverside. ALSO the Drivabilty of it SUCKS very choppy engagment. Have fun daily driving. I just ordered a different clutch for mine. Not very drivable in traffic.

Also I do not know if it has anything to do with it but both Driverside Motor mounts are busted now.

 

Everyone here is talking about breaking axles and I dont think its the clutch, slicks or what ever. Im sure most of you whole are breaking axles are running non-oem axles. Oem acura axles...esp. type-r or gsr axles are the only way to go. That remanufactured crap...sure they will break under any condition. I know I ran a 3 puk unsprung stage 5 clutchmasters setup and had NO problem with stock axles on a 25 tall slick with over 600 whp. A friend of mine...a simular setup. A 10 second coupe straight race car. 25 tall tire, welded dif., poly urethane mounts traction bars...whole whole nine yards and runs oem honda axles and is on a full race season without breaking an axle. If everyone has there car slammed and the axles are not in align....maybe thats your problem too.

 

Its not how hard you have to press down.. it's the fact that your clutch will have almost NO medium between on/off. Your looking at lots and lots of chatter and a nice shakey dash.... jerky shifts on occasion and well.... downshifts are gonna be murder on your passengers if you dont do it right.. come to think of it.. so will pulling out at a light....

Snapping axles.... eh.. depeneds on how you drive...
Snapping necks .... yes..

 

With street tires, wheel hop breaks axles.

If you are launching at high rpms on slicks, you will also break axles.

i agree with him non-oem axles are ggona to have issues with spline depth and grade of material the entire axles is made out of.

we see it all the time at the shop, people coming in with bad axles and its because they are non oem.

i have heard that stock axles are good till about 250-300hp

with slicks-depending on lots of variables, they could break, but they dont always do.

clutches have nothing to do with axles problems....yes it probably doesnt help if your axles is goin bad but its not the determining factor

and also my 2 cents if someone wants to drive on a carbon kevlar six puck clutch, there is no reason to say hes gona hate it and give him Sh*t about it, if thats what he wants thats what he wants.

i run a clutchmasters stage 4 with a jun ultralight cromoly flywheel in my car, daily driving....yes 1st is interesting but not really much different that any other upgraded clutch, you get used to it.
