Twin plate clutch

[wrapture]

How realistic is the twin plate clutch?? Ive seen how a real one reacts on a car but is the game like the real one?

I don't think clutch slip is modelled in GT5, cos I've never seen an improvement in straight line acceleration when upgrading the clutch.

Hopefully someone with a fancy wheel setup that has a clutch pedal can chip in here whether any of the clutches feel different.

Yea they should be a clutch on ds3

Just to test it out, I used an otherwise stock Toyota GT 86 '12 on the stock SH tires with an automatic transmission and all aids off (just to eliminate variables) ... Engine was already broken in.

Stock Clutch:
0-400m (~1/4 mile) - 15.257s
0-1000m - 27.522s
0-100 km/h (~0-61 MPH) - 7.353s
Max. G-Force - 0.65G

Single-Plate Clutch:
0-400m (~1/4 mile) - 15.201s
0-1000m - 27.449s
0-100 km/h (~0-61 MPH) - 7.278s
Max. G-Force - 0.65G

Twin-Plate Clutch:
0-400m (~1/4 mile) - 15.162s
0-1000m - 27.393s
0-100 km/h (~0-61 MPH) - 7.217s
Max. G-Force - 0.65G

There definitely appears to be a difference in straight-line acceleration picking up a tenth of a second in the 1/4 mile and, oddly enough, more than that in the 0-60 time.

I also tried it out on a Nissan Bluebird 1800SSS (also stock) on the stock CM tires with an auto transmission and all aids off. I took an older, low-power model because they tend to take more time between shifts to rev match, so I wanted to see if it would make a larger difference:

Stock Clutch:
0-400m (~1/4 mile) - 18.878s
0-1000m - 34.136s
0-100 km/h (~0-61 MPH) - 12.987s
Max. G-Force - 0.42G

Single-Plate Clutch:
0-400m (~1/4 mile) - 18.744s
0-1000m - 33.979s
0-100 km/h (~0-61 MPH) -12.809s
Max. G-Force - 0.43G

Twin-Plate Clutch:
0-400m (~1/4 mile) - 18.735s
0-1000m - 33.947s
0-100 km/h (~0-61 MPH) - 12.756s
Max. G-Force - 0.43G

The peculiar 1/4 mile time difference between the single- and twin-plates is simply because it shifted AFTER the 1/4 mile mark with the single-plate whereas the twin-plate shifted BEFORE. Definitely a very noticeable difference in terms of how quickly it shifts between the stock clutch and either of the two aftermarket clutches with about 1.5 tenths of a second dropped off the 1/4 mile time and about a quarter second taken off the 0-60 time.

👍 awesome test!!

Having used both G27 and PS controller, I've felt more direct feel when going into gear with both clutch upgrades over the stock clutch. That does "seem" to help the pickup in a straight line. Just try driving a "STOCK" car using each clutch.
Here the test track can be of great help. Just my humble 2 cents worth.
If a tuner see this thread I'am sure they would know.👍
