Paddle clutch
Has anybody had any experience of paddle clutches in kit cars?
Are they on off or do they have some feel to them?

Good job for loads of power and competition use, i've had them in rally cars but they're heavy and bite point is very sharp, makes the car
hard to drive in traffic etc.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

I thought about some form of arrangement for my Indy, but then it's a bec so a hand operated clutch should lend itself quite well to the
appication.

Alcon 6 paddle clutches are generally regarded the best for good road manners.
Ap racing 6 paddel in mine, gave good results, car weights about 1 ton. About 1/3 less travel but the feel is good.
