Im on 20k with the original clutch.
Still feels ok.
I hope it has got legs as a total strip down to replace clutch is so expensive.
The car was only designed from an aesthetic piont of view.
In engineering terms it is a major cock up and whoever was resposible should hopefully have been fired by now.
All the mechanics are nasty and shoddy( our American cousins can enlighten us on the origin of that word?)
However I am i intrigued as to what a power shift is?
Ther is only one way to change gear up or down and that is to match the revs either way with a bit of blipping of throttle, breaking and / or a combination of subtle brake, throttle and clutch activity. Anying else would presumably be some sort of playing formula one or rallying nonsense bullshit. And yes. Im sure it will bugger your clutch.
Firm, but probably fair assessment Matty. For info, I suspect a Power Shift is just a very quick change when going up the box, that sees the clutch re-engaged as quickly as possible, compromising drive-line smoothness for speed of change and overall gain of velocity, drag-racer style. Going down the box should be via double-declutch of course,as every gentleman racer should know
. Or Heel-&-Toe if you need to loose speed too.
Either way, I sure don;t want to wear my clutch out, seeing the effort required from JVS's excellent pictorial timeline.
