Some new info coming from TAPP about the clutches

Thank you for purchasing a TAPP Industries primary clutch. You have chosen one of the finest and well built clutches on the market with the most adjustment of any clutch on the market today. This clutch is no different than any clutch from a maintenance aspect, and should be blown out frequently and at specified intervals depending on type of use, disassembled and cleaned with soapy water.

Adjusting your clutch:
There are 3 main adjustable components in a TAPP Clutch, these are:
• Ramp profile
• Ramp angle
• Roller size
• Weight adjustment

1- Ramp profile:
Your TAPP clutch comes with a set of pre-chosen ramps that have been tested in many scenarios and have been deemed to be the most generic in most situations. Changing the angle or profile of the ramp will have many effects on the shift profile. This should only be done by an experienced tuner, you will likely not need to change this. Blank ramps are available for those that want to experiment with different custom profiles.

2- Ramp Angle:
The ramp angle in your TAPP Clutch is adjustable from the outside via the use of “clicker style” bolts. As with other “clicker” style clutches the higher the number the higher the rpm, this mainly effects the full shift speed but also effects the engagement and low speed slightly.

*ALWAYS ADJUST THE RAMP ANGLE IN PAIRS ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER, IF YOU DO NOT THE CLUTCH WILL BE OUT OF BALANCE AND WARRANTY WILL BE VOID*


3- Roller Size:
Your clutch was shipped with a predetermined roller size for your application. There are 3 sizes of rollers available: standard, 1mm oversize, and 2mm oversize. Bigger rollers make the low end “revvier” but shift out quicker and lower the full shift rpm, Smaller rollers make the engine less “revvier” shift out slower and raise the full shift rpm. This has to do with the angle of the arms combined with the weight difference of the rollers.

*AS WITH THE RAMP ANGLE ROLLER SIZE MUST BE DONE IN PAIRS ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER, FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN AN IMBALANCE OF THE CLUTCH AND POSSIBLY FAILURE. WARRANTY WILL BE VOID*

4- Weight Adjustment:
The weight in the arms can be adjusted in two ways: set screws in the arms, and washers on the roller thru bolt. Your clutch was shipped with a basic tuning kit. As with all other clutches add weight to lower rpm, remove weight to raise rpm. Set screws in the arms affect the low speed shift points more than the high speed, and weight on the roller bolt acts like tip weight in a conventional clutch affecting the high speed more than any other part of the curve. Adjust this as needed for your application.

*AS WITH ALL OTHER ADJUSTMENTS DO THIS EVENLY AND ONLY IN PAIRS ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER, FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN AN IMBALANCE OF THE CLUTCH AND POSSIBLE FAILURE. WARRANTY WILL BE VOID*

Weight of tuning parts:

Rollers  Standard = 9.9 grams, +1mm = 12.5 grams, +2mm = 15.3 grams
Roller bolts  Short 37.5mm = 7.6 grams, Long 43.5mm = 8.8 grams
Washers  Regular = 1.2 grams
Allen screws  Regular ½” = 2.6 grams

Curve clutch faces really make it grab the belt and is always cool running.

Back shift is very good and enough side pressure with 90 degree twist in it.

It actually looks to good to put on a sled, I had mine on my shop counter and
everyone that looked and admired it said it was a fine piece of art with miscalculate
machining and much thought put into it. Turbo is on it's way!!!
