F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 21y 9m 11d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 12/12/06 12:07 PM Posted 12/12/06 12:07 PM When we had the Tremec guys here from the US and Mexico about 18 months ago I was showing them how my ute launches, 300 rwkw and on the limiter and just dumping the clutch. Lots of tyre smoke and sideways action and I have still got the same clutch in it. These are a great clutch for most applications and give great driveability. Mal←Dumping and turning to tyre smoke is indicative of the tyres lack of grip, and is easier on the clutch.Launching as I do, and having the tyres stick, is another ball game.My clutch also holds on from a 3rd gear 5000 rpm dump very well..

I would have one in heart beat, butwhilst I have not done the research, I would imagine for the cost of purchasing an F6 clutch from Ford and then paying to have it fitted, it would be easier for me to drive tio Mal Wood and get one of his jobbies.Scotty←You would have to buy a bloody expensive mal wood item to hold up to the punishment that F6 ute has given his clutch. Seeing as I aint got a response to my earlier post I am quite doubtful that even his option 3 would handle F6 ute treatment←isnt a mal wood option 6 triple plate $2200??

This is our toughest clutch at this time, and retails for $2650inc gst . The clutch is actually part of the flywheel, and comes complete inc ring gear. It is unlikely that an F6 clutch can be toughened to this level, via any means. Our option 5 is a 10.5" organic twin, and comes complete with a 4340 grade billet flywheel, ring gear and complete clutch assy. This will EASILY match an F6 clutch. Cost is $1990 inc gst, retail. Our option four is an 11" cera-metallic single, and also has great capacity. (I do not recall pricing for it, but it lies between the op3 and op5.) Seeing as you thought the F6 unit was $3500, and others have given a figure of approx $2700, then your above statement was posssibly in haste. No worries though, apology accepted. Ben.

Ben.←I was under the assumption that your option 6 was the only twin plate you guys offered, and didnt not inc a flywheel at that price, I stand corrected. Didnt even know what your option 5 was ect and that it was also under 2k inc flywheel ect, well priced I must say for the extra $490 I cant see a reason why people wouldnt opt for this over the option 3.

If Mal had told me that there was an option 5 twin disc i would have have jumped at it rather than the single plate option 4 that i have now..... Edited 13/12/06 11:46 AM by hiddeous
