Far too many people use clutches, especially multiplate with paddle type discs, when really organic is the way to go. And too many also try and go far too small diameter. Totally the wrong way to go for anything road driven

I'm sure TTV can do a std diameter twin plate organic that could easily hold the power, if not a triple ?

Everyone says paddle discs drive ok....and some are just "ok".....but when you go back to back between an organic, paddle in the same car. You truly realise how none of the paddle disc setups ever drive anything like an organic setup. You just make excuses to make yourself think they do. They absolutely do not !
