I`m planning soon to replace my Clutch(Disk,Cover and Flywheel) and i found a very nice kit for my ST-205 from HKS "GD Pro Twin Clutch Type K".
Is somebody using it???ANy comments?

but I'm getting very harsh disengagement and loud clunking on downshifting on low gears....

Hi Wolf_tm....

I used to have the same problem as you... harsh disengagement and krrrrrr... krrrrrr....
2 things that you have to look....

1. Worn-out gear synchromeshes. Mine were worn-out pretty bad.
2. Gear lines. There are 2 gear lines, one for upshifting and one for downshifting. Please check both lines if they are still in good long-term working condition.

Please don't trust my answer just yet as I am not sitting right next to you while your gear problem occured.
I can be wrong. Try to get a 2nd or a 3rd opinion for confirmation ok.


Cheers,

Hi Lar,

maybe I didn't explain correctly...

I'm not having a gear problem, I'm quite sure, I personally rebuilt my gearbox, and I'm not getting noises on changing gears...

when I told you harsh disengagement, I was talking about clutch disengagement, that is to say when you press the clutch pedal ( engage ), change the gear, and then release the pedal ( disengage ).

When you upshift, fw is making more rpm than the clutch plates, this is why the engine turns rearward on the supports;
but when you are downshifting and releasing the clutch pedal, fw is making less rpm than the clutch plates ( and in fact you could see the engine rotate forward on the supports ).

So when I downshift the gears I have not one problem, but when after that I even release the clutch pedal, I'm getting instant disengagement ( even if I'm releasing the pedal ssssllllllooooooowwwwwllllyyyyy ), harsh clunk and strong hit on the car.

I already checked for the exhaust touching somewhere in the crossmember zone, and it isn't.
Moreover I'm getting this noise from the clutch zone.

That's why I'd like to know from you, as the only one person over me using that clutch!, how are your feelings when you downshift and then release the pedal.

PS: there is not a cable for upshifting and one for downshifting: one moves the gear leverage forward/rearward, and the other one left/right, so you use all the two lines for up and down shifting.

Thakn you, bye.
