Me Clutch started slipping, due to power I think as it was fairly new !!! I have bought a Jim Wolf Technology 700 bhp friction plate. Do you think I could use this with a standard Nissan cover or would I need a Jim Wolf Technology uprated one, I have tried e-mailing JWT but get no reply !

 

All helkp greatly appreciated.

 

Olly.

Certainly initially it's the clamping force of the clutch clover that makes a greater difference than the friction plate (unless it was completely knackered). I have an RPS cover plate with a standard Nissan friction plate and that works very nicely. Something like double the clamping force too. My old one was slipping due to the increased torque above standard.

I was under the impression (maybe mislead) that if you had an uprated disc but used the standard pressure plate you wouldn't get a stiff pedal and the clutch engagement is nigh on a par with standard but with the uprated disc it can hold more torque !

 

But I do not know a lot !

have u checked it's not your hydraulic linkage needing adjusting.

 

sorry if it's eggs and grannys, but though it work suggesting:

like andy says, its the cover that does the clamping, an uprated plate is just gonna wear less if it does slip, as its usually made from a harder compound.
