Alcon cover clutch limits
I'm a little confused
I ask Woodford Garage Motorsport the limits and the answer is :
385 NM torque capacity.
so how can you put 500 NM or more with this cover ???
and a personal question
there is a big difference between a 4 paddles and 6 paddles ???

Interesting - I had a problem changing gear for a day or so and put it down the the cover... but can't offer any techie details - it has cleared now. My 4 paddle was really quite violent on and off and I had to get rolling sometimes by catching the clutch then dipping it again before releasing. My 6 paddle is less sensitive and much more manageable in traffic - though nowhere near as smooth as a standard item.

I run an Alcon cover and have never had any probs with slip.
Would imagine my car has a high torque fig due to the fact that the boost is brought in so low but we have never measured it.
