Clutch
So i got my miata back fineilly and i have the xtd clutch and when you drive it then stop and leave it in first it was to jump somtimes its been bleed once already is there another adjustment?
|
it was to jump sometimes??? :confused:
|
If your fluid level is not dropping, your clutch master cylinder is going bad. If your fluid level is dropping, it is the slave cylinder dying or a connection down to the slave or the bleeder leaking.
|
new slave and master is new idk its a 6 pluck so maybe its suppose to be agressive?
|
adjustment rod on the pedal itself dude check it out.
|
wtf are you saying?
|
dude, I'm so confused about what it is your problem is....
|
he is getting poor clutch engagement you guys dont speek very good giberish :rofl:

puck designs are like that...no more slippage into gear. give it a bit of gas and let off the clutch, don't ease into it. it should hookup right away, with no "studder". That's why they aren't the best for the street.

I dunno to be honest.
The design of the puck clutch is focusing all the rotating weight, providing for better clamping. But launching from a stop has to be altered. Typicaly on a standard oem clutch, you ease into 1st gear, slowly feathering off the clutch. This is hard to do on a pucked clutch, as once it grabs, it grabs. So you tend to "studder" the car since it wasn't a smooth transistion and not enough gas pedal was given. You can quickly get used to it, but you have to get used to it. FWIW, the first time I drove a pucked clutch it was odd, but I trust I would have been fine after 30mins. Currently I have a clutch with an OEM surface on the pressure plate for semi-smoother engagement and pucked on the flywheel side for better clamping force. |

I've had a 6 point puck clutch for almost 40K and it doesn't seem any different than when it was new. I have a lighter pressure plate, so the fact that I can slip it well may have something to do with that. Others that get into the car need to get used to it, however.

From a stop, rev up to 3k, let off the throttle, then let up on the clutch while rpm is dropping, then add throttle back in. it won't shudder.
|
i can slip my XD just like ay other clutch. and it is pucked it just takes abit of feel to get used to.

er, someone brought up kevlar... i hate kevlar. plus it smells weird when it burns. the puck clutch might engage like shit but at least you wont be under the car in a couple months replacing something that wont hold, and they're typically cheap.
