Ok, so what make/model # should I be looking for
Observation
POSITIVES: regarding diaphram type vs finger(s) type. I'm not an engineer, but common sense tells me that the 'multiple' contacts of a diaphram pressure plate would be easier on the throwout bearing(i.e.-distrubuting force); would provide better mechanical advantage(ergo less leg power necessary), more even pressure/less wear on clutch disc.
Negative: the 'counter weights' on the three finger pressure plate provide MORE pressure (centrifugal force) on the disc...as rpms increase. Better clamping force? Whereas , diaphram type doesn't have counter weights.
Am I wrong in my observations?
