Any updates on pricing of the flywheel bolts and throw out bearing?
Trying to save some $$$ on shipping.

Sorry looks like something not provided by mfactory at the moment.

Due to some negative feedback by a customer on Facebook, I just wanted to make this clear to everyone that was a part of this group buy:

From the start, we mentioned that our Sprung hub version was a 3-Puck. We have NEVER intentionally sold a 6-puck sprung to anyone and shipped them a 3-puck sprung. Besides, I've made it very clear that the 6-Puck sprungs wouldn't be ready to ship out until Apr/May anyway

Regarding slippage and longevity, this is a grey-line when it comes to clutches, and affects ALL clutch manufacturers. The majority of users will have no issues, but a few will have, and are usually quite vocal about it on social media. Not being the one to point fingers, I only have this to say: Installation/setup of the clutch is of paramount importance

This is the reason why we incorporated our "shim stack" feature as allows you to adjust the engagement and increases the service life of the clutch.

If anyone has any questions regarding setup, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Do the smfw have an option to work with spec 3 plus?

 

[MFactory]

Yes, our SMFW's were designed for the oem and oem-replacement clutches

So your saying the more shims we remove the longer it will last?

 

[MFactory]

No, if you remove too many shims, then it won't engage fully.

You only need to remove shims when the disc surface wears down/starts slipping

Any possibility of another group buy in the near future? Let me know who I should PM about it

Also just heads up if you remove shims please shave down the bolts and have it ballanced. I had mine rebalanced and went down from 7 to 6 shims.(I had it on the car for about a year at that point). Had a horrible metal on metal sound when I started the car up.
While saying many many BAD words, I pulled it apart becasuse I thought it was an install error.

NOPE turns out the bolts were now touching the clutch fork!!!! So i took a grinder and shaved down the clutch fork not the bolts as I didnt't want to ruin the balance. But if i want to remove one more shim in the future I will have to shave the bolts and get it rebalanced again.

Not happy.
