After talking to Neil at SRE today had a few concerns before I start drilling clutches up. Has anyone using RTS had an issue with it wrecking the thrust washers?

I think the theory is that being Verto only 1/3 of the clamping force is transmitted as thrust. So it will be less than the pre-verto grey covers. |

Quite the opposite. The load on the thrusts is much lower when using an RTS in comparison to something like a grey diaphragm.
In the 13's at last!.. Just |

Now go and enlighten the guys at SRE :) RTS is the way forward! I have all the time in the world for the guys at SRE, but they need to think outside the box a bit more On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

just another thought guys is two turbo clutches a bit much i.e. would I be better with a normal ap and a turbo ap together? Gaball said:

he was interested until he spoke to someone about it and they told him it shagged their thrusts :S I don't supose they also asked who built the engine and under what conditions this happened? It is easy to measure which is easier on the thrusts. All you need to do is set up a double grey pre verto and an RTS, then with a flypress and a decent set of scales, or a hydraulic press with a pressure gauge, measure the force required to operate the clutch. Its no good saying that it is worse when you havent actually done any testing to justify whether it is or not. Im sure there are a few on here that already have, and I myself am gearing up to do more than just this test on the RTS. Edited by Sprocket on 13th Apr, 2011. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
