tecniclutch 4 paddle problem

[stevie leese]

has any one had a problem like this. i brought a 4 paddle clutch from tecniclutch about 6-8 months ago and was pleased with it until it failed. the problem is that the clutch plate spring retainers have worn away allowing the springs to fall out. the clutch is in mint condition apart from this. cheers steve.

Sounds really daft but was the friction plate in the right way?

Was it a gtir specific clutch?

 

[stevie leese]

yes it was. it was fine then started off with a slight rattle then got worse and worse until it failed.not seen any thing like this before. it has just rattled its self to bits. it was the clutch they recomended for the car and the power i am running. cheers steve.

mate would take that crap right off your car now and get a decent clutch they are terrible! when i purchased my rust bucket it just had one put in it lasted 6 months, it also cost me a new fly wheel and it ripped the hell out of it.

if you do a search on them you will get the same advice mate

Do a search,i think there are some post's regarding this manufacturer before

biggest piece of shit clutch you can waste your money on, we've seen the aftermath of a few of those clutches.

make sure you read the warranty small print as we got done over by them years ago because we had cleaned the fecked clutch before sending it back.

oh no.that is not what i wanted to hear at all. only took it out yesterday so not contacted them yet,sounds like im in for a struggle now though. surly though they cant just sell you a performance clutch thats not fit for purpose though? cheers steve.

 

[vss irvine]

done it before so whats to stop them?

make sure you get a refund and not just a replacement, you really dont want one of those clutches in your car.

Is it that it's just a paddle replacement for the standard clutch rather than an uprated one?

 

[pulsarboby]

as said they are truly crap!
they are made from inferior quality steel and this is why the spring retainers bend and springs drop out or rattle round.
ive seen 3 that have completely snapped the centre piece clean out, surprised its lasted you that long tbh

Check just about any car forum and you'll get the same replys about technicrap.

its a 4 paddle clutch that they told me to buy. told them that me car is running at 391 brake and they said this clutch would piss the job and be good for launches as well. the clutch clearly has not been abused as it looks near on as new as when it was fitted but just with the springs hangin out of it where the spring retainers have worn away {not snapped} cheers steve.

i must be the only one to have a techniclutch thats been good for 3 years or more now. its only a fast road clutch rated to 350bhp. the car has been running 290bhp ish for most of that time and now 320bhp. its had a lot of abuse too

i had a techniclutch in my old 150 brake escort (i no its no R) and it slipped from the word go was apparenty rated to 220. i contacted them and they didnt want to no. wouldnt use them even for a 1litre micra let alone a R.

 

[stevie leese]

neva had a problem with it slipping mate,it just fell to bits.will contact them tomorrow and let you know what they say. sounds like its going to be an uphill struggle from whats being said about them.cheers steve.

Are these the ones on ebay claiming something like" the best clutch you can buy" or something like it?

 

[stevie leese]
