Here you will find frequently asked questions; you should be able to find most of the answers you are looking for.

• Will this fit on to my standard flywheel?
• Yes it will the clutch is designed as a direct OEM fit to a OEM flywheel. (please note the flywheel surface must be smooth, free from any ridges or grooves on the friction surfaces this can cause clutch judder)
• Can I use my own clutch cover?
• Yes you can but we highly recommend you use the Carbonetic clutch cover. If you are going to use your own cover, please make sure the friction surface is smooth without any ridges or grooves. If you find that the friction surface is not smooth do not use this with the Blade clutch. *note that your own cover may not be able to hold the stated BHP*
• How much power can the Blade clutch for EVO X hold?
• The Blade can hold a maximum of 400 WHP and400 Ft-lb torque at wheel.
• Should I skim my flywheel when fitting this clutch?
• If the flywheel clutch/friction surface is in poor condition we do not recommend skimming the surface of the flywheel. Skimming the clutch/friction area of the flywheel could lead to early clutch failure or clutch slip.
• What are the brass looking fitments on the clutch, why do they protrude further than the Carbon friction material?
• This is a special material that was developed for the blade clutch, because Carbon is harder wearing than metal, this material is to aid the bedding of clutch quickly and protect the flywheel.

• Do Carbonetic clutches slip when cold?
• No they do not, common belief is carbon slips from cold, our Carbon clutches do not slip when they are cold.
• Does your clutch have an on/off feel, are they aggressive?
• Not at all our clutches are the easiest to control, they almost feel stock in feel, very easy to modulate in all conditions.
• How long until I can use the clutch to its full potential?
• We recommend a bed in time of 800-1000 miles and avoid drag launches until bedded in or you will warp the pressure plates.
• Are Carbonetic clutches easy to fit?
• We advise the clutches to be fitted by a qualified mechanic. It’s imperative that fitting instructions are followed page by page. We strongly advise you to have your Carbonetic clutch fitted by your nearest Carbonetic dealer.
• Do I need to buy anything else when I purchase the clutch?
• No all kits come with everything you need to fit to your vehicle, unless otherwise stated.
• Should I warm up the clutch before a drag launch?
• Yes you should, in order to minimize damage to the metal parts of the clutch you need to do a warm up procedure – this is documented in the operating instruction manual.
• Are Carbonetic clutches fully serviceable?
• Even though our clutches are designed for longevity there are times where you may want to refresh parts of the clutch. Carbonetic clutches are fully re-buildable with every part available.
• Can I change my Twin plate into a triple plate?
• Yes you can, the beauty of our clutches is that many parts are interchangeable. To convert your twin into a triple you will need 1 carbon plate, 1 pressure plate and 1 intermediate plate. Its advised you check the condition of the other plates before you do this, please read the overhaul manual.
• Do you offer different Hubs, for example Holinger?
• Yes we do, we supply hub fitments for Holinger, HKS, OS and Trust.

• Are the Carbonetic LSD’s noisy and/or chattering in operation?
• Not at all, our LSD’s are almost OEM quiet and smoothly working.
• Do the LSD’s need to be bedded in?
• Yes it does, we recommend you do about 180 miles and then change the LSD oil to remove any of the carbon deposits. Our technical section informs you about the bedding in.
• What oil do I have to use, can I use normal LSD oil?
• No we do not recommend standard gear oil with the Carbon LSD, we suggestion using the Carbonetic Oil available from your local dealer. But if you cannot get hold of the Carbonetic oil, we have tested other brands that work with the Carbon LSD:

For FF/AWD application
MOTUL	Gear Competition SAE75-140
NEO Synthetic oil	75W90RHD
For FR application
MOTUL	Gear Competition SAE75-140
MOTUL	90PA
NEO Synthetic oil	75W90RHD

• Are the LSD’s re-buildable?
• Yes they are, we hold full stock of every part need to rebuild and service the LSD.
• Can you tell me more about 1 way, 1.5 way and 2 way LSD’s?
• The Blade can hold a maximum of 400 WHP and400 Ft-lb torque at wheel.



• 1 way lsd: An LSD is activated only when the throttle is on and when the internal cam rings has an angle on only one side.1.5 way lsd: The angle of the cam rings for the off-side is very close to 5-20 degrees which will make the LSD ineffective when the throttle is off (during deceleration).The Across 1.5-Way LSD will work similar to 1-Way LSD during deceleration.
• 2 way LSD: The 2-Way cam rings angle are cut in the same degree on both sides (throttle on and throttle off sides). A 2-Way LSD will activate during both acceleration and deceleration. 2 way is a popular choice for drifting.
