Shift away from a paddle clutch
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi Chaps,

I've got around 190BHP with around 155 lbft torque running through a paddle clutch. I understand there are other options and avenues I can explore to move away from a paddle? It's just to harsh and can't be driven in what's described as 'normal' traffic normally! It's either wheel spin off or drop it and hope it doesn't stall.

Advise on what other options I've got would be appreciated!

Rts will sort you out mate.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

A 5 finger. Plate is s lot more forgiving, if your not happy if you don't. Have one fitted, the other option is the prevertro clutch setup, but you will need to do some mods, search RTS CLUTCH on here.

Thanks Ben. I'll do that now.

If its a 4 fingered plate they are like a switch on or off like I said the 5 fingered plate from minispares north are more forgiving, RTS maybe the way to go if you drive a lot in traffic

I coped with a normal turbo plate and grey spring with more torque than that, but the RTS is your best bet for a lighter pedal

Are any companies providing a service to install an RTS yet, or is it still home brew?

It's still home brew, but there are members that can assist with the rts build.
