Twin Disc clutch...

Does anyone know of any twin disc clutches that will work with the 92ish Pro LX tranny? I'm getting tired of toasting single disc setups!

I'm currently looking at upping my pressure plate to a Clutchnet 2800lb to use with the 3 puck hybrid metallic sprung hub Clutchnet disc. I'm slipping the current 2100lb setup which is rated to around 480lb/ft torque using the Zoom Clutch calculator with Clutchnet coefficent of friction for disc I'm using. 2800lb pressure plate will increase it to around 640lb/ft but won't help my clutch or thrust washer life like a twin disc.

Another expensive solution is to machine my own flywheel to except a 2nd Gen NA RX-7 twin disc clutch pack. Then again...that might not be so bad if I can come up with the money for the billet and machinest...the CAD design part is easy & free for me after work hours with some of the top CAD software in the world! :wink:

Tilon and Quartermaster made a 5.5 and 7.25 dual disc clutches for the B5/6 & BP but requires their flywheels. If you ever swap to the HD version of the G25 used with the RF-T it will still work all you will need to do is change the clutch disk to one with a bigger spline.
