RPS Clutch Disk

[supraguy31]

Hey all,

I got a 6 puck Spring Clutch with a Centerforce Pressure Plate installed this weekend. Drives pretty nice but here is my Question.

When I installed the clutch Disk, Pressure Plate, Got the Tranny back together and all, Bleed the Lines from the clutch Master Cylinder for Air, and Started the car, I noticed that the clutch Doesnt engage until its really High on the Pedal. A new Clutch Normally engages about 1-2 inches from the floor. This one is like 1-2 inches from the top of the Pedal. Also, It starts to Slip at anything above 14psi

Is this a Normal thing with this type of Disk?
Is there any Adjustments that can be made so that it Grabs Earlier on the clutch Pedal?

Im thinking since it Doesnt grab until Its high on the Pedal, that is the Cause of the slippage.

Any Ideas would help.

Robert

When I got my new clutch installed, the pedal did not grab until about the same place as yours. It was slipping as well. So I took it back to the shop that installed it and a guy came out, then tighten a bolt on the clutch pedal itself. I never saw the actual bolt but from the looks of it, there is a bolt located near the top of the clutch pedal itself, that when you tighten it changes where the clutch engages.

Hope this helps

The first issue can be easily remedied with a simple adjustment of the linkage. As for the slipping, if you are applying full power on a new clutch it will do that. There is a break in period for that clutch as there is for any other ceramic/cerametallic clutch. Refer to the manufactures instructions for break in.

There is no linkage to adjust. We have hydraulic setups as far as the clutch is concerned. The only adjustment that can be made is to the clutch pedal.

You definately have to break the clutch in for a period of around 500 miles. I've got 175 on mine so far and am trying to not even let it boost, but that's impossible. Hope you got it under control.

They all adjust at the pedal. Some (I believe) use a lock nut, and an adjustable nut. Others you have to disconnect the pedal from the master cylinder, and turn it, then reconnect.

And for the slippage.............probably is related to where the pedal is adjusted............BUT.......you definitely want to strictly follow your break in period

Im going to Adjust the Pedal Tomorrow and see how it reacts. Hopefully, Everything will be good. Will let you all know afterwards. Thank you for all you Help.
