Anyone running this on their TT? I'm more interested in reliability than driveability as my car is mostly run on the track anyways.

I feel like my Clutchmasters stage 3 is heavy and would like to lighten things up a bit while still maintaining some good grip.

From what I've been able to gather, this setup also comes with a flywheel as well and the whole setup weighs less than the 964 RS flywheel I currently have in my car, so less rotating mass and drag on the drivetrain.

Open to opinions.

 

Besides the big cost you cannot go wrong with a Tilton, it lasts a long time, drives stockish, rebuildable.

 

Well, if it's anything like the Supra Tilton clutch, it is viewed by many as one of the best or worst mods out there. Best in that it's truly engineered well, serviceable, able to hold as much torque as you can throw at it, etc. Worst in that it's hugely expensive, sensitive to wear out prematurely fast, and completely devoid of feedback from a pressure standpoint.

I've only experienced one in a non-running Supra, but have never pedal pressure that light on any other application. They tend to be hard to modulate and drive (again, Supra platform) and people actually tended to want the heavier of the two flywheel options to make the car more driveable on the street. I think you'll also want to inspect the clutch discs very regularly on a Tilton since if it's street driven a lot they tend to wear out a bit faster than most people expect.

All that aside, there is good reason why Tilton is considered one of the kings when it comes to clutches. They really do sweat the details and build high quality products. Best wishes to you!

 

Sachs clutch kit all the way!

 

WOW so far these posts are all worthless to Heavy. How about someone who actually has one in a car, someone with a cup car or one of the big boys who have it.

 

heavy, doesnt chris (powell) run a tilton in his setup?hit him up and see.

 

I have one...
IDK if its 5.5" in size... I though the triple was bigger...
if you can afford it go for it...

 

Awesome clutch but there on back order all the time! I am waiting on my and it wont be here before tx2k12!

 

They have a 5.5 and a 7.25 in triples.


I do not want a clutch that wears out, however my car will not be driven on the street so that's not an issue, neither is a lot of starting and stopping. I have heard of some guys with cup cars carrying multiple units so that concerns me on their longevity. I will not get it if it wears out quickly.

Open to other options as well. Any suggestions for very light, but very strong clutches.

 

Keith 997 turbo ran tilton also

 

Great clutch, the end-all of clutches, one issue: carbon clutch disks from Tilton have been on back-order for almost a year now.

 

Anyone know how many splines are on our gearboxes (Isn't it called the G50?) ?

1x23?

 

Back order for a year. That fact alone tells me not to touch the product, that is beyond ridiculous; even having to wait a month for such a replacement part would be to much.

 

Yeah, good point. I'm going to look into the metallic unit as well. I'm also talking to another manufacturer, not saying who just yet.

 

I am wanting to go Tilton as well but by the sounds of it I will have to look at other options. Maybe the CM 850.

What did you end up going with heavychevy?
