First off I am NOT trying to sell anything, just passing on some information that may help someone save money by preventing transaxle breakage. On my turbo car I have been breaking a ring and pinion every couple passes. I have tried multiple clutch setups with varying pressures and differant discs trying to find something that would last more than a few passes without slipping in high gear. Finally I have a clutch management system that works the way I wanted it to. I owe a big thanks to Todd and David at MEGA MACHINE for the help they gave me along with taking the time to give me some ideas to improve what I had.
David and I talked at a SEVWA charity event about our cars and the problems I was having with my clutch management system. David asked if I wanted to try a prototype setup they had, like I hesitated,hahhahahha David and Todd also gave me an idea for a better control setup than the switch I had previously. Here are some
pictures of their valve setup,
The way you see it is the way it comes, complete. They also gave me an idea for an electronic control system which works with my delay box. Now instead of the switch for first gear I have a timer which activates the CM and releases it by itself. The timer I am using is my spare delay but you could use a NOS timer instead. I have my timer set for .5 seconds, this is not how long my clutch slips but only how long the valve is closed. The first time to the track it worked flawlessly, I was so happy you couldn't slap the smile off my face. If anyone is interested I will take any pictures or answer any questions you have. The purpose of this post is to prevent you having to relearn and spend money to learn what I already have. Mike McCarthy
