Zf Rebuild Experience Help Needed

[Roley94]

It really wasn't hard at all to rebuild, depends on your skill level I guess. Just work in a clean environment and keep track of how things came out.

Yeah E clutch fried, it had purple steels that's how hot it got, can't remeber if it was B or C but there where a few hotspots.

Are there any fixes for the E clutch, more frictions, different material?

You can get the plates nitrated I think? There's a guy on YouTube that tore down a 6speed drag box he'd built that he'd had dev clutches in. Interesting to see there tear up/down and he's take on the clutch materials etc

You can buy the exedy stage 1 kit with new frictions for around $600 or exedy stage 2 kit with new frictions and new thinner steels (hence more plates per clutch pack) for around $1150 from motospecs.

Stage 1 is rated to 600rwhp and stage 2 is rated for 1000rwhp on a stock tcm tune.

Cool, they upgrade the clutches in that only or the gear sets too?

[turbotrana]

Only clutch friction and steels. This mob has some more stuff that can be used in the ZF
