Os Tripple Plate Clutch Problem? Or Not?

[Angus Smart]

I have a tripple plate (i think)..

it is for 34gtr, with nismo imput spline if that can help anyone work out which clutch i have.

now on down shift some times i hear a kind of grind noise.. it dosnt happen all the time. and is usually happening when i'm just crusing.

is this normal?

i figure that most clutch slipping happens on down shift.. does anyone else have this happeneing

Cheers

most clutch slipping happens on acceleration/high load. right at the point of peak torque (usually coincides with the car hitting full boost).

grinding noise is not good. perhaps you are being too slow releasing the clutch? or too fast moving the gear lever?

[Angus Smart]

hmm i might try releasing the clutch a bit quicker..

will see what i come up with when i drive home.

it happens when i downshift comming off the free way usually. or when i downshift going through eway lane..

but not all the time on downshift.. i must be a pretty inconsistant driver

I'm still unsure on what clutch i ended up getting.

caus i dont think that it ended up bieng a nissan 34gtr clutch.

as i also remember having to buy a converter also.

or do most os clutches need this?

Any push type clutch will of needed a pull type conversion to it for an R34. OS clutches are push type and need the conversion yes.
