Just got a DYAD clutch...

[bigtymas21]

Hy guys...I just bought the DYAD clutch system from Lethal Performance, and I was wondering if there is anyone running this setup already?

Never heard of it and can't find it on there site. Unless it's not under the 03-04 cobra section?

That's a Centerforce clutch, I personally have had the dual friction type on my GT and Roush I thought they were really good, but have no experience with the DYAD. I believe Muscle Mustang or 5.0 magazine recently did an install and write up on an 03 Cobra, and gave it good reviews.

I'm running it

Please post up your results. Ever since M&F ran an article on one I think its the clutch I want to try.

Lacks a replaceable friction marcel on the flywheel which probably can't be machined as its already recessed. Now you're buying a flywheel with every clutch rebuild, if you stick with it. I'll stay with Mcleod which uses the OE or common aftermarket flywheels with replaceable marcel.

Interesting. I considered selling my rxt and trying the dyad, but like tractionless1 said it sucks you have to keep buying flywheels.

A flywheel should last an extremely long time. The only way the flywheel takes a beating is if the clutch/PP isn't doing its job.

The problem will be how the car is used. If it is beat on, raced, etc (who wouldn't be if you are in need of a RXT based on the power you make), the flywheel will generate hot spots from that use and should be machined at least. If a flywheel is a one time use, they should adjust price accordingly IMO. Unfortunately it is a wear item. I would never just leave the flywheel alone when doing a clutch job. Either replace it, replace friction surface or have it turned/resurfaced like a rotor.

Good point but some of us just like to have insane amounts of power for the street, lol. My car might make it to the track once after it has a new clutch and thats about it. The rest of the time it will just be street driving and I just need it to hold WOT from a roll. The RXT has soooooooo many good reviews it does make it tough.

It's only money, right? LOL

LOL I find myself saying that about this clutch project, is that if its not what I want then I'll just replace it. The good news for you is you might get 2 sales out of the deal, one for the Dyad and then one for the RXT a short time later. :bash:
