Definitely interested to hear more between the RXT and DYAD. RXT was the route I was planning, not sure now. Both sound like they have quirks, just depends on what you want to live with.
Similar long term experience with my RXT. Chatter on first gear take off isn't as bad, but still occurs. first gear reengagement will chatter. Stop and go traffic will chatter.
However.
After about 13,000 miles I made my first passes on it at the track a few months ago. Not a single instance of slip. Held the power of a launch better than I could have hoped.
You have to be honest about what these clutches are engineered for and the resulting quirks on the street. RXT and equivalent clutches are definitely race clutches.
If Im looking for increased hold over stock but intended for street driving, Im looking at an RST or equivalent clutch. If youre making a ton of power, a quirky high grip clutch is what youll have to live with.
Long story short is there isn't a perfect clutch out there, like most auto applications there are compromises and you have to choose based on your goals.
Is that a thing w/ aftermarket clutches?
Yea. That pretty much sums it up. Based on what I had read, you'd never know the car wasn't stock w/ the DYAD. That is clearly bullshit and is my own fault for believing that knowing full well that it had to be capable of handling some serious abuse. Were I to do it again, knowing that the stock clutch should handle my basic mods, I'd go stock.
That being said, and solely for the interesting of letting people know what to expect w/ the DYAD, a new issue has presented itself w/ the cold weather. Maybe this is common w/ aftermarket it clutches...maybe I'm just lucky. But, especially when it's cold out, the clutch makes a squealing sound when engaged in first gear(squeal/howl/whatever). Less as the car warms up but enough such that if you have friends outside the car when the car moves, they will ask what the F* that noise was. Is that a thing w/ aftermarket clutches?
@barspen, which brace did you get?
