600WHP, Killed my JWT Clutch
 

So,

I did a MT swap and it definitely took some getting used to for the first few k miles, but my pressure plate is cooked 1.5 oil changes into my swap

I'm not sure the JWT was a good choice for 600 Wheel++ Torque


What are you 600+ Guys using?

Or should I just L2 Drive noob gg lol.

Exedy twin plate or any other respectable company (os giken et al). at the min.
Grab like an SOB.

Really need twin plate for streeting 600 wheel?

Maybe a 6puck but not sure it'll be up to the job.
What's your concern with a twin plate? I've had a hd, 6 puck and run a twin plate now. The cool part with the twin plate is you only need to replace the disks and they usually come with a flywheel as a set

Aren't those hard to street? I've already got a lightweight flywheel.

I daily mine approx 15 miles each way. No issues to drive IMO

Absolutely need a twin disc (or better). I would personally go with OS Giken but Exedy is another good choice.

Okay,Thanks guys.

So that was likely the reason I'm in the position now that I am? Because I don't have a twin disc set up?

its not just about being a twin disc, but you need to look at the torque handling when clutch shopping. most clutches are rated in max torque. Also the twin should be easier to drive than a harsh 6 puck, just more expensive.

And if youre hesitant about twins/tripple disk clutches, look at the Southbend SS series of clutches.

The JWT clutch pack is good for about 450-475 HP/TQ (if I remember correctly), I think it was a combo of power and the "getting used to" that fried it. JMHOP.

I burnt through my JWT clutch in 5-10k miles with 600hp. I switched to a OS Giken Twin disc never looked back.

I went with the organic treated JWT clutch. My shop seems to be a big fan of them so, I guess I'm going that route. I just can't swallow a 3600 clutch job right now.


BUT I'm also getting open dumps :D
