hey guys just wondring what clutch to use with an mf5 box to hold around 180rwk? cheers julian

I was using a stock organic clutch. only slipped once after pullin top gear nuts lol. i cant believe you still havent bought a mx7 or r33 conversion!

i know of one vlt that had around 210-220rwkw with an mf5 using a soft button clutch

cushion button... I'd invest in an mx7 though

Heavy duty organic is my pick, the mf5 will love 180kw too

a mate is runnin 240rwkw with a cushion button clutch. it seems to be holding up ok. no strange noises. you guys just cant drive lol

5puk and a spare mf5 to replace it in a few months. just depends on how brutal you are on the box.

yea i got a r33 box runing a exedy heavy duty cost me 350 its the same clutch u get for a na and im making 280rwkw and its still holding up even had 26x10 slick and has survived the launces so should be good for u lol

i dont understand... how you can all run a turbo and a MF5... im on my like 3rd box, with a stocker NA... the one in it has been rebuilt... and its knocking pretty loud my mates rekon it will take about 3 shifts before it blows iwth a turbo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

a car i owned had an mf5 in it for about 3 years before i bought it and was making over 200rwkw and when i sold it the box was still fine seeing is believing dont just think "oh its an mf5 it wont last" same as a6 motors, mx7's ar'nt exactly bulletproof either

probably doesnt use the clutch between gear changes. he is a mad wog you know

actually im thinking of getting semi race tires (road) haha... ummm i dont slip the clutch only taking off in 1st, but its more of a slow dump Quote: Originally Posted by 86SLVLT probably doesnt use the clutch between gear changes. he is a mad wog you know that was when the pedal broke off the master cylinder...

my vl turbo had an mf5, did heaps of rev limiter launches, box was fine but the clutch went I doubt it would hold 180rwkw for long though. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Exedy heavy duty organic, Mine held 189kw for 2 years odd before the box let go. Edit the box didnt exactly let go I just wore the hard casing off a gear from driving at high speed for an extended period. Box was still fine just sounded like I was running a massive blower lol.

Had a talk to a friend about this, theyll handle the power, just wont handle shockloading / clutch dumping.

no, i only tried to dump it from like 4k a few days ago and the car died ... but i will admit, i do give the clutch and gearbox heaps Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
