6speed heavy duty clutch!

[vt1538]

$1400 was for the clutch & flywheel assembly only. You really should replace the master & slave cylinder while you are at it. Brad (enhancedss) will hopefully be able to give you a more up to date price on this as he fits them regularly.
Slipping the clutch is when you dont allow it to clamp 100% instantly. It is a slow timed release of the pedal once the friction point is found. Some use the handbrake, bring up the revs & slowly release the clutch pedal until they feel the car wants to move, hold that position until the last amber, then release the handbrake & simultaneously release the clutch pedal before going WOT.
Myself I just use a slow dumping of the clutch without the handbrake. This is just releasing the clutch pedal on the last amber with some resistance to upward travel. It takes a lot of practice to get good 60 footers coupled with a fast reaction time with either method.

Ive had the z-grip in my car for about 2yrs only done 15000 k's and it failed and I didnt really give it a hard time.

Wont be running a tex again after that!
Went with a xtreme carbon triple plate this time but havent driven it yet so cant comment on it just yet.

All i can say is it looks like a very nice piece of machinery, almost too nice to put in the car. I reckon i would of bought two and stuck one in a frame on the wall :rofl2:

Tex Z-grip here and I love it. They are a bulletproof clutch (with the exception of the one above...), but you need to be tolerant if you plan on using it daily. They can squeak and shudder if you don't give them a hard time.

Hi guys,

Just fitted a new cam to my VE SS, now producing 440rwhp, and I am sus on the factory clutch already and don't know how long it will last, I know I am going to have to replace it with a HD clutch, what is the clutch that will suit this, plua hopefully in the near future I will be looking at a supecharger. So will need something to combat somewhere around the 600+rwhp.

ive heard the tex z grip has to be driven hard once in a while otherwise they done perform as good??

Yep that is true. If you give it a beating every now and then it becomes a much more sedate clutch. Whenever mine starts to shudder and carry-on a decent 2nd gear launch with alot of RPM sorts it out for a few days.

Mal wood does a good clutch. Brothers old vz ss had one in it and he ran drags with it with no dramas.
