I get startup soot lately.. trucks sat for months with a blown clutch, excessive fueling, always blowing bit of black smoke on move off at lights or heavy acceleration. i hear fprs do go & cause this stuff, cheap enough and easy to get to for replacement, i have one sitting there to chuck on...

That wont matter for me when i never go a dual mass ever again after 2 failures at 20k and 28k (both professionally shop fitted), however thats great info and its always possible even a shop could made the mistake if they dont fit clutches much and didnt know this about the dmf hole and down u r...

Looking at the Switch back to Single Mass Flywheel Clutch... from a Dual Mass. Q: Is it as simple as buying a OEM/Heavy Duty clutch kit with Solid Flywheel, and it will be a direct bolt on? Q: Possible to pick up a solid single mass flywheel only & bolt that on & combine with the existing...

I've had a look at the Master & Slave. The slave may indeed be rusted. i saw one yt vid of changing length of the slave bolt in the case of the fork sitting too far left, and had used a different bolt to position the fork in the middle of the area. My fork on slave sitting to the far right...

Yeah its possible, after reading that thread i posted the pic of they had a mechanic pull the whole clutch n replace it as was sticking, to find the clutch was fresh as.. waste of time n money, a little fork adjustment on the slave & they were gold. i think i will try adjust fork/slave ..pedal...

Could it be as simple as this? Or the slave or master failing.. causing it?

Hi. Unknown which part until my mate & i pull it down which part failed. I asked the mechanic referred to me as being good to fit an exedy heavy duty.. he said thats the usual norm & what he does or something like that. I can describe the symptoms to give u more pf a clue which part failed in...

Hi guys. My clutch seems to have gone. Again. Bought this 2007 D40 Vsk with 290000 on clock, with receipt for a heavy duty dual mass flywheel clutch conversion kit fitout that previous owner pais over $3000 for. Clutch slipped & went on me a month after i got it less than a couple thousand ks...

I have a bit of a smile on my face after yesterday, so i thought i would create quick thread just to share my possible good fortune. I had swapped in a Tillix valve a couple weeks ago & have set it pretty nicely by fluke with just 1 adjustment to the boost valve & the restrictor needle so it...

Update: I went up to the shops yest arvo, Thinking i should probably tweak with the settings. There was no need, The truck absolutely goes well as it is, i fluked some great settings the 1st time. I got slightly faster spool up than stock, terrific matched engine rpm reponse to it, and...

Well i installed it ! Ran off my boost guage spare T 🤣 that i had set up few months ago, Avoiding need for any drilling & welding on a hotpipe boost output. The utes hauling after 1 test run. Had to make cpl immediate adjustments to: Needle valve, as on first drive round corner i had boost...

Thanks. Plus for the info on Bathurst work. I'll go ahead & order the kit. If u get a chance sometime soon, can u please upload a couple pics of where u plumbed into the hotpipe etc, so i can see where ? Cheers

Sorry to write again.. I am about to order, I see it says its for 127kw YD25 version, and not the later 140kw. Mines a 2007 vsk Spain, I don't actually know for certain the kw, but i think mine would be the earlier 127 right

I've looked. Think i will go the full $195 kit, That includes the spool control rate valve... I definitely would like to be able to fine tune it :)

Top notch reply Tony. I can see how much you love your Tillix Valve 🤣🤣🤣 I am so going to try. If there is one thing that really grinds my gears its doing a fix on a vehicle that works only to have it fizzle on me just months or a year or less later. I need permanent fixes. The BCS i think...
