This tech tip relates to Holden Alloytec V6, DMR2317N-CSC, DMR2317NHD-CSC, MSX-2317-CR. Gear selection and non-release issues may arise following incorrect bleeding. Here's a quick how-to. IMPORTANT: The end of the hose must remain submerged during this bleeding procedure.

Upgrade: Change the friction material. This will not only increase the torque capacity but will also improve the heat properties. While most original equipment (commonly organic) are excellent for drivability, they fair poorly for high-performance needs because of low torque capacity when hot. This is a specially designed friction material engineered to offer an increase in torque capacity while not degrading its coefficient of friction in high temperatures. Cerametallic friction material provides a massive increase in torque capacity due to a high level of heat resistance, and thus suitable for high performance and racing applications. The grade of the material can differ depending on the manufacturer; delivering varying levels of friction and thermal properties.

To ensure proper performance of the vehicle-specific clutch kit, we have written some installation notes.   PART TIP WHY RING GEARS   Do this when installing a dual mass replacement flywheel where the ring gear is not supplied with the flywheel:   ·    Remove the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) flexplate. which has a ring gear, […]

It is most likely an actuation fault rather than a clutch kit fault. Why does it happen? It is common for these vehicle's clutch fork to develop hairline cracks that result in flex and non-release within a short period of operation following installation. With these cracks (and other damages) even when the clutch slave cylinder […]

This problem is most likely an actuation fault and not a clutch  kit issue.Check the clutch fork. It may be broken or worn out. Why does it happen? The clutch fork's function is to disengage the clutch when changing gears which makes it susceptible to breakage and wearing. This breakage and wearing – including the […]

The 86/FRS/BRZ brings back the 90s Japanese sport car experience; that is a light, nimble, front engine,  rear wheel drive sports coupe. The notion is pretty simple and has proved again to be a winner. The platform provides great bang for your buck but the need for more power is a craving that most owners […]

Aside from the fact that CSCs are — like the clutch and flywheel — are naturally subjected to wear and tear, most CSC failures take place during or immediately after either fitting or bleeding. Proper installation of CSC is a must. Here are important notes: √   DO these WHY Refer to the vehicle’s original manufacturer […]
