I have just fitted one and now just bedding it in but so far stunned by it, You cannot tell the diff over a stock clutch even the wife can drive it, Just got to put 500mile on it before the real testing starts, Very happy.

From my understanding - it takes time for the tolerences to "loosen up" and thus cause the chatter.
RPSPP - Since you guys are back on this thread - Is there any news about my questions? How is the car at Pruven performance holding upto the clutch? I heard the RPS clutch was having "issues" but I can't seem to get specifics.
Thanks,

I guess the infamous "chatter" will have to be determined after 2000 miles but I see it being still quite. As for Pruven it is a manner where the TOB was giving him issues nothing more. RPS has made the changes to keep the TOB retained in its place, this is a extensively modified TOB and Clip. This TOB and Clip will not come out unless you are using our procedure to take it out. We are releasing this new part to all customers that had purchased our twin disc C/C product. All else for Pruven it held the power that it made with ease.

All customers are aware about the new TOB and RPS has sent it to them. All of the original kits that has been shipped are using the modified TOB. So, no issues are going to follow.

Just curious - are the discs sprung hubs?
