Im confused on how this is properly accomplished, could someone explain this to with me. Ive done a search on this and came back with one topic that didnt answer my question..

 

anyone?

 

Are you talking about the clutches in an LSD? Those are about the only ones I can think of that you can preload.

 

the only clutch that I can think of besides a differential type clutch that is preloadable is a drag clutch for a high horsepower car.

You are able to set preload, counter balance, initial clamping force, etc

please be more specific about what you are trying to ask

Ah, good point. Shows what I know about drag racing: zilch

 

I think the thread creator refers to let the clutch out slightly so that the car will creep forward, then pull the e-brake, set rpms at launch rpm, release clutch and launch. They do this to be easier on the axles as easy and to not spin that much off the line.

Note: All this is what I've heard.

Thats what I mean, I dont know if its any diff with lsd though besides maybe both axles getting loaded before launching
