Purpose:
Need input to help me decide to rebuild the CTPG2 or install a new clutch (Centerforce/Exeddy/??) with a lighter flywheel into a BBSC track car. This will be an 80-90% tracked car, so retaining “stock-like” pedal pressure, not having chatter, and not having the on/off action is not a primary concern. In fact increased pedal pressure is preferred (to keep the g/f from driving it
Background:
Niello installed my CTPG2 in 11/02...While the car has been in Mark B's hands he has informed me that I'm now at the end of its "expected life." (I don't slip it...okay so I had ONE really bad slip, but I did drive it like it was supposed to be driven BTW: I have about 15-18k miles on the clutch)
Testimony:
For the most part I've been happy with the CTPG2 (other than the fact that I had a lot of trouble getting it into first and reverse on cold mornings, but after taking it up the hill to Comptech (Niello couldn't figure it out) Shad and his crew "fixed" the problem...(had something to do with adjusting a spring...I didn't get specific details, but I don’t think they opened the tranny, so the spring must have been adjusted in the master or slave cylinder) I use the term "fixed" b/c what I've been told is what they did MAY produce additional problems and increased wear on DIFFERENT parts by increasing the travel distance into the bore, etc....(again this was mere speculation, however it has caused some MAJOR concerns, thus my quest for (possibly) a different clutch)
Reasons that would persuade me to swap out the CTPG2: (order of preference)
A lighter flywheel/clutch combo (what’s the MOI and lbs on the CTPG2)
Increased quality/durability/life expectancy
Comparable or reduced replacement/rebuild costs
Not having to worry about what CT did to “fix” the above mention problem
