dont get it if your car isnt a toy. its a pain in the ass if you are ever in traffic.
its not an on/off light switch, you can slip it if you really need to , but you will smell the clutch if you try to drive it like a normal clutch. it likes when you are brutal to it.

but it sure handles the power alright!
im hoping the new clutch fork totally fixes the annoying problems and makes it more controllable.

i am at 331KW on a hub dyno. not sure how that relates to an american power level.

Just get fatter tires to reduce slippage when you dump the clutch

We have not updated this thread in awhile but we have a new offering with the fork we are excited about. I know it is nothing revolutionary but we have now created an internal kit to offer with the clutch fork.

As some of you may know, Toyobaru issued a TSB for the TOB (throwout bearing). The grease within the TOB was found to be inadequate at dealing with the heat during operation, which causes premature failure. The Toyota/Scion TSB is S-SB-0012-17 if you would like to look it up.

Anyway, we now stock no less than 10 TOB and clips (shown below) that can be added on during checkout. https://www.verus-engineering.com/pr...30-clutch-fork

Is this an oem clip you stock or one you guys devised with additional performance over OEM?

100% OEM components. OEM 2017+ TOB, OEM spring clips. We're just trying to make it easier to grab a full fix in one shot with one shipping.

Gotcha

This thread hasn't been bumped in a while and we feel this is a really important part to install during any clutch install. We have these in stock with standard 2-day shipping in the USA.

Slated to be installed with your turbo kit!

Bump for anyone who hasn't seen this. This is one of our most popular items at this point and has helped a lot of owners maintain a more reliable car!

Been using both the fork and the pivot in my turbo BRZ for almost 2 years now with no issues. :thumbsup:

We'll start looking into doing the pivot as well, should be a relatively inexpensive piece in quantity. The forks will be coming out first though of course.

Units are nearing the finish line!

Thanks,
Eric

I just noted the date on this thread. I ordered the fork and pivot

from 86speed yesterday. Looks like they just sold out. Do you have any others ready to go?
