Found out today I have a OS Giken twinplate in the 33, I have never had a twinplate clutch before so Im unsure what to expect in the way it feels to a normal clutch
this is what I am experiencing and hopefully someone here can tell me if its normal or not
The friction point in the pedal is very low to the floor, as you begin to raise it up the car just lerches forward, clutch feels more like it just has an on and off function, you're either engaged or disengaged, doesnt feel like there is much take up point there.
It also feels like its not getting full travel, if you're in spirited mode and you start smashing through the gears you need to be 100% sure you have the pedal right down to the floor before you make the change otherwise you will get a crunch, also can feel a bit tight when going into gear, so you tend to make your gear changes a bit slower. Obviously the best way to drive is to make sure you have your foot to the floor before you make a change to the next gear, however with every other car I have driven you dont need to be so watchful on where you have your clutch pedal.
It just doesnt feel right to me, however it could just be normal. Its a push type so it doesnt need the os giken clutch travel kit. Pivot ball is fine as is the fork, there is also no air in the system.
