Greetings Z's enthusiasts.
Recently i bought a lightweight clutch and flywheel but it was a single clutch and the car has a dual clutch and my mechanic said I got the wrong part but I did my research and found out that the single one is comparable as well with the only discomfort of a bit of noise at low rpms. Can anybody shade any light over this subject? Should I go with the dual clutch or just keep the one I already have.

Thank you all in advance for your feedback...

 

stock clutch in the Z is a SINGLE disk. You can buy up to a triple disk for this platform.

Time for a new mechanic

 

Suggest you research "Dual Mass Flywheel".

 

Thanks guys. The single clutch I have should work though. Right?

 

As long as it's for a correct car it should 'work'.

Typically a twin disc will hold more torque before slipping. If it had a twin disc in it you may want to compare torque ratings. Usually a twin disc is added when the car had been modified to have significant power gains like adding turbo/superchargers/nitrous etc.

Good luck!

 

Got it. Thank you.

 

Pics of your "twin" plate clutch. If its an old tilton, I want it.

 

guys, he's talking about a dual mass flywheel.....

 

yer as str8dum1 said, dont mix up single and dual mass flywheels with single plate a twin plate clutches and single and dual clutch gearbox setups
3 different things
stock is a dual mass flywheel with a single plate clutch
all aftermarket flywheels that i know of are single mass (much lighter)
after market clutch range from single to quad plate

as for single and dual clutch, we only have single clutch gearboxes, dual clutch is the type of thing u see in a ferrari flappy paddle

 

well and there is porsche audi toyota bmw and yes the mighty Nissan (GTR), just off the top of my head

 

It was an example.......
