I made a joke saying I always double clutch because our transmissions suck, but Pauly C said he double clutches because the RPMs drop fast when you push the clutch in and at faster speeds you have to double clutch to make the engine keep up with the transmission. If that is the case with the JWT flywheel, I am up for it..

 

yeah i caught on your joke my question was for Pauly C.
I got about 1k km on it so far and its been great. I didnt drive it hard yet we have tons of snow and SLIP is blinking all the time.

Why double clutch? Why not REV match while you're clutched in? isnt that the same?

example shifting from 2 to 3 driving hard
second gear, 6k RPM.
Gas off, Clutch in, shift to third. RPM dropped to 2k let say?
While clutched rev match (to 4500 maybe? or whatever) then release clutch.

wouldnt that be the same?

 

Yes, you're right...you don't have to stomp the pedal twice to rev match the shift. At least our transmissions don't require us to.

 

thought so, last tranny needed double clutching was when? 40 some years ago? lol

Go for the JWT though well worth it. I love it

 

Please clarify what exactly you mean by tighter?

Does the clutch pedal require more or less effort to depress or to raise up?

Does the clutch start grabbing sooner or later than stock - that is higher off the floor compared to stock or lower?

Is the range of friction zone more or less than with stock?

Tighter or looser doesn't really explain clutch action. Such terms are better used to describe sexual partners

 

Yea, pretty much, I think a lot of 18-wheelers need to double clutch...basically any gear box without synchros.

I think my car has a stock clutch. A couple previous owners and was never told it was replaced. Bought it with 77K miles and now at 140K miles. Slips a few RPM here and there..

 

1- Im pretty sure he meant stiffer. However i didnt feel like it was stiff at all,

2- Same if not easier than stock.

3- My OEM was near the end, with the JWT is less than half way through. I would guess 35% off the floor and the friction zone starts

4- My stock one was about 1", I have a good 1.5 to 2" with the JWT.

5- LOL agreed.

 

where your engagement/disengagement point? is it near the end?

 

No, it's about 1/3 up. I can adjust it to be right off the floor with the RJM clutch pedal. It doesn't squeak, make any other noise, and had consistent travel every time.

 

Oh no doubt the RJM is amazing, i was talking about factory pedal lol

But I was seriously thinking about the pedal but that changed alot after i installed the JWT. I might still consider it in the spring

 

My factory clutch pedal was messed up I don't even know where it grabbed...Buy the RJM pedal now and get free shipping...it should be the next $135 you put into the car EVEN BEFORE GASOLINE

 

i was talking to him about it before i changed my clutch as i hated how it felt, but honestly i changed BIG time after i installed the clutch, not perfect but a HUGE change.

My next $ is going towards HRE & coilovers lol frick i cant wait

 

What's HRE?

 

HRE wheels, its a custom three piece rim

 

Oooooo sounds expensive hahaha
