ANyone had any experience with the Tilton c/c clutch assembly? What did you think? Where is a great place to get one?

 

What do you want to know about it? Im pretty sure all the feedback that your gonna get on it is good. As far as were tog et them, drop tony1 a line i know he can locate one for you.-pdang

 

Have you used one? What do you think?

 

I have one, and it was the best money I ever spent on the car

 

great clutch, plan on spending around $3100-3400 (pending tax) for it.
Also its high maintanance because you have to check the pressure plates and surface of the clutch disc all the time.

 

email me at james@titanmotorsports.com and i can get you a good deal on the carbon/carbon tilton

How often are you talking about? Clutches need normal inspection anyway, do these require more?

 

yes these require ALOT more work.
Tilton provides measuring devices and gauges to check the wear with the purchase of the clutch. Tilton and most people who use the clutch suggest checking the clutch after every race or testing session. For street use I would suggest checking the clutch with every oil change. The clutch will last for a long time if you keep checking the cluches and keep up with rotating the plates and disc.

 

I have raced an entire season, and a few races last year, and haven't had to change plates yet......Great piece..........no maintenance

You can easily go all year w/o checking a tilton carbon. The cerametallic ones wear ALOT quicker and do require periodical maintainance, but don't worry about the carbon. It's the best and last clutch you'll ever buy!

 

I haven't yet

 

if you are going to plunk down the cash, get one of the new hydraulic tranny setups too.

The carbon, carbon will last forever, but is over twice as much as the cerametallic. If you have the $ go for it.

Would you expect the cerametallic to out last the single disk clutches? being that they are both put through the same abuse? Just wanna gauge if its worth the money from a length of life standpoint...

How exactly does the Tilton Hydraulic Release Bearing Kits work and how does it help?

 

I would expect the dual cerametallic clutch to last longer than any single disk that can hold that same amount of power. The good thing about the tilton is that you can just buy replacement disks. I think the disks are only like $150 each. So, it's easily rebuildable when it does wear out.

 

Thnx....how bout the 2nd part of the question?

I answered your IM.

The HRB replaces the stock master cylinder, slave cylinder, fork and bearing. It reduces the mechanical parts involved so it give you quicker shifting and a better feel.

 

I use the CC. Best thing since slice bread. Dont look for too much clutch slip though.

 

Gotcha...thnx
