Last Clutch Question!

[mmmmtorque]

Ok men, explain it to me what the difference is. In traffic why? etc...

patrick

The flywheel is stored energy that is transfered to the driveline when the clutch released. With a lighter flywheel, there is less rotational mass and therefore less stored energy......This puts a greater load on the engine, and will require higher rpms on take off to equal the same result in movement. It impacts drivability in stop/start traffic and low driving speeds.

Well damn...how come I didn't say it like that?

So....disregard my input and just put me down as::dito: :dito: :dito: :dito:

Ok I understand but with my truck having 4.88's wouldnt that help make takeoff even easier and put less of a load on the engine? Thanks for putting up with me, as I am just trying to learn.

4.88's would make it a lot more livable, Marks truck has the 4.10's

what is an upgraded master/slave cylinder? is it just the setup from the viper cars? i'm looking to get mine upgraded before i install my spec/fidanza setup

 

[FATJACK]

The master/slave on our trucks is plastic, the Viper parts are cast metal much sturdier and don't flex under pressure like the truck parts.

Get your master/slave unit from Roe Racing or JMB Justin. You need two shims for it to fit properly. I believe its from the Viper GTS.....I think.
