R33t 2 Clutch Questions. Thanks

[Bariskycord]

1. How to tell I have got a heavy duty clutch or not?

2. When it was in 1st gear and the clutch half engaged with very low rpm (like 900rpm), there are clapping noise appear under the car (sound like someone knocking on your door), the clapping sound are MUCH louder when I reverse under same situation (half engaged with very low rpm)

-but everything fine when I release the clutch faster, is it normal?

1. It feels heavy.

2. It sounds like you have a racing clutch, they do not like to be ridden. My Exedy Ceramic Racing clutch does the exact same thing if you ride it.

If you had a racing clutch (i.e on, or off, but not inbetween) you'd notice.

How does it engage? Can you drive with it partly engaged, like parking? How hard does it bite? Are hill starts really awkward?

Also, you can get clutches that don't feel any heavier than stock ones Martin, that'd bite your face off and hold significant power without breaking. While still HD they're not (apparently) heavy to feel at all.

Sorry about the english btw, so tired it's just plain silly to be awake.

HD clutches are the same as stock just have a increased clamping pressure and use the same disc plate, often light at the pedal still. The different feeling clutches are your button style and performance orientated generally.
