Im running a RAM slipper clutch on my crx si tranny. I was wondering if anyone else is running a slipper clutch on their setup. I can not down shift to lower gears with out grinding the gear. Is this common with the slipper clutch because it is clamping at higher rpms? I am just lost on how the slipper setup effects the way I can down shift. For example if im doing 60mph and I shift down to third to speed up the gear fights to go in. It isn't the syncro because their all new. Just wondering if someone could school me on slipper clutch technology.

 

I'm just curious why you're downshifting period with a slipper clutch?

 

why are you running a slipper clutch on something you drive regularly? wtf?

Because he must hate his clutch and want to destroy it with excessive amounts of heat.

 

why do they make a slipper clutch for a d series ?

Good point sorry Rota

 

and then there was light !

 

It is not a daily driven car. I tried to roll race it a couple of times and noticed it was not allowing me in those gears. Figured it was because of the design.

 

lets see it

 

road race with a slipper clutch? really?

im assuming he meant what he typed; "Roll Race"

as in like highway pulls? like from a roll?

i dunno? lol

 

i just learned what a slipper clutch is from wikipedia. it talks about its use on motorcycles. how does a slipper clutch benefit a car?

But a slipper clutch on a bike lets you downshift. Hell it let's you downshift even better than your regular wet clutch. You don't have to worry w/ tire lockup and wheelspin as much when you downshift w/ a slipper clutch.

 

Yea I mean from a highway roll race. I don't attended to race it from a roll but did twice since the setup was together. The car is not a daily, its a 88 crx hf with a fully built zc on track tek 111 leaded gas, car made 400whp. I was just wondering if I needed to adjust the slipper fingers or is it the design of the slipper clutch that does not allow you to downshift. I was told as stated in the thread that slipper clutchs allow bikes to downshift better so I was kinda confused.

 

just curious, do u have any sort of bell housing "Maintanence Plate", or do you have to pull the tranny everytime, lol...

 

oh ok , i didn't know i thought it was a typo,
we don't "roll race" up here its from a dig or its nothing

bikes and cars use different type of cluches totally different

 

Why dont u just add some weight or even base pressure so it locks really early. Might allow you to do what u want.

 

yeah, get some removable bricks of lead shot up in the front of the car.....

start off small tho lol

???
Where did this come from?

 

it was a joke in regards to weight.. jeez

im still curious to see if the poster has modified the housing, to get to the fingers..

hope so, lol

 

Call me crazy, but aren't slipper clutches the same kind of stuff top fuel funny cars use and the fuel dragsters?

 

the premise is the same but those clutches are a different design

 

why even get this clutch in the first place????????????

get a action 2md and youll be golden.

 

No I have not modify the housing so I can get to the fingers yet. The reason I have this clutch is because I got it off a member for a really good price and figured it would work great for the track. I just found it odd when I couldnt downshift when I tried to drive it on the street.

 

might be a weird question, but have you tried rev matching when downshifting?
