Stock clutch pressure rating?

Post by vwjim »

Evening,

Stage 1 - 4 clutches are always listed with their holding force, but what's the holding force of a stock 200mm pressure plate?

Thanks

I think it's around 1100 compared to the Stage one's 1700.
I seem to have read that somewhere but who knows.

Test it with a flywheel lock, old input shaft with a nut welded on..... and a torque wrench.
My 1700# Kennedy Stage I with a CB Super Disc held 165 lb. ft. of torque.
My Stage 2 with the same disc shimmed out .031" held over 250 lb. ft. on a torque wrench.
