Concentric clutches in 2000E box

PostPost by: 661 » Wed Apr 20, 2016 7:48 am

Anyone any experience of these, particularly in the race setting?
There's talk in the archives of 'might fit one', but anyone done so?
I appreciate some of the 5 speed box have to have them but that was not the feedback I was hoping to receive.
Thanks.

I have a concentric clutch release mechanism in my S3. The car has a close ratio box (2.5/1 on first). I've done about two thousand miles with this set up and would not consider going back - ever. The new system is very much fit and forget, no adjustment required.

I have used them for both race and street applications - last two I have bought have been Tiltons , pricey and I can't say they are better than what you can get from Burton -

That's positive, thanks.
Do you know if it's allowed under app K ?

I have had a Dave Bean ( US ) concentric slave cylinder in my race Elan for about 5 years with absolutely no problems. Clutch is Tilton, operation is smooth and not too heavy. Highly recommend.

I used a Dave Bean one in my 26R with Tilton clutch, an agree with Alan's comments pedal pressure is fine and no reliability issues

Cheers
