What are the main differences between a twin and single plate disk? Why do people go to twin plate clutches when they can get a single that holds? Is there a difference in pedal pressure and engaugement? Reliability?

If you've ever had a clutch come apart on you... You'll want to go overkill on every clutch you buy after that. I had a clutch destroy my trans, starter, radiator, axles, and my flywheel. CM stage 4 that broke around the spline.

Twins are on the majority lighter than single disk clutches due to their fully machined housings... typically lighter than the factory style pressure plate etc. Check out the 7.25" twins available from Tilton and Quartermaster(www.racingclutches.com) then you need to get a to bearing and a custom flywheel made.

 

They also hold alot more power for a given "pedal" feel due to two discs absorbing the friction and heat as opposed to one.

 

You will also notice that a single plate will not want to disengage at higher rpms and you will miss shift alot. The twins don't have these same problems.

 

they also seem to help keep drivetrain parts together longer, dont seem to shock the driveline as hard

 

is there anyone that sells a complete kit, clutch and flywheel twin plate set-up

 

all the ones I've seen come as a complete system...at least mine did
