m671054 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 What about a matoon 10 plate. pretty sure the inner hub and pressure plate are streetbike based. Green should be able to confirm or deny that. not saying you need 10 plate just thinking a slipper might go to that inner hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprayBomb Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just as a thought, kind of along the lines of using your hand to control how fast you let the clutch grab, this is something from the VW drag racing world that I think would work for you if you could make one or adapt something like it It is an adjustable valve that can be adjusted to slow down the return of the clutch arm. For drag racing when you dump the clutch instead of it hammering into full hook-up, you can slow it down to engage in a smooth motion. This saves wear and tear on the tranny during launch, but it also slows down engagement during shifting all other gears too.

TurbStLCards Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Very interesting! Oddly enough that is something to consider with both shop projects going on right now. My brother has a 65 beetle that we are rebuilding, turbo, IRS pan, coil front, etc. I'll have to do some more digging on that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

camatv Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 welp.. the spring loaded basket or ANY clutch basket change is NOT going to isolate your shock loads off the transmission. figure that one out on your own your smart enough. IF it was ME i would look for a rear wheel hub setup that HAS a cush sproket mount and just adapt that to your street bike, dirt bike conversion ( what i THINK your building).. and yes i know what your talking about and why they are there.
