After so many years, look what I grabbed out of my storage unit; it is something I never spoke about or even showed anyone outside of my team before. This is what helped me go 8.0 back in '04. The slipper clutch was super difficult to get working, but once we figured out the correct disc's and slave cylinder it was a big improvement in ET.

 

damn that is one sick clutch.

 

Had one in my kids dirtbikes back in the late 90's Always thought it could work with a Honda car. Just never knew anyone willing to make one.

 

Is that te one wolf did?

 

Looks like it... lol what else do you have in storage

 

More info please.
Thanks

 

Nice. We ran a slipper clutch in my dads drag bike for the last few years he raced, back in 99-01. Sure did take a minute to get em figured out.

 

Slipper/slider clutches are where it's at!

I run a slipper in my Ducati 1098S. HUGE improvement over the stock dry setup.

 

this would help some of the outlaws cars go 7's :O

 

wow, that looks like a lot of counterweight...lol....must of made good power!!.. ;-)

Im guessing that's like a 6.25" disc?? Are you able to raise/lower the base pressure at the plate or is the only adjustment done with counterweight?

 

I that's sick! Didn't Ram make these as well for Honda's? I believe they made a kit but it wasn't too popular because of the rules back then? Also, how did you adjust it? Did you have a different bell housing or modified the stock one? I don't see a big enough window to be made anywhere on the OEM bell housing. Let us know Gary... Thought your news was you were coming back to Honda's :p

 

Do these work the same way the bike ones do? It doesn't look like it....

Can someone please explain what the major advantage is here?

 

it's basically like a centrifugal clutch......do you see the bolts with three nuts and various washers? that basically puts more pressure on the clutch discs as rpm increases. So at lower rpm, you have less clutch pressure..aka slipping, therefore you have less power transfered to the tires.

You can take away or add weight to the clutch fingers to apply more/less pressure.....too little and you'll burn it up....too much and you'll just spin.....picking up one of these would have a pretty big learning curve and could cost you a lot of money if you dont know what you're doing..lol

 

that was what he used with the xtrac. you adjust it through a hole in the bellhousing.

Thought the news would be your building a RWD honda..

 

I remember these clutches. Didn't you hurt the discs in one or getting into the flywheel at a Nopi race in Bristol in 2003-2004? I remember being over by your pit and chatting with you about it. You broke out the "spare" to show what broke and I remember that being an "oooh damn!! baller" moment to have had a spare slipper clutch no less just having a slipper clutch back then.

 

I figured it was with the Browell Bell housing, I thought he threw that up because he figured it out how to use with stock housing. My confusion

 

Thanks for that.

Deff not the same way it works on my bike. hahaha

 

Back from the dead...Anyone knows if any company is making these??

 

If you got the money I’m sure slipper will make you one. They do for ls and sbc and everyone else

 

You can effectively turn any hydraulically actuated clutch into an adjustable 2-stage clutch with my Hitmaster Clutch Hit Control System.

1st stage is adjusted to optimize the launch, then at the end of a time delay the 2nd stage comes in to make sure the clutch doesn't slip any longer than it needs to. If you are spinning or breaking parts after the shifts, it can also be configured to slightly soften clutch assisted shifts. Not a clutch but a control system, you still need a clutch capable of handling your car's power.
