In the 1970s I once had to drive a broken truck from North Africa to Western Europe, with a defective clutch. I then made clutch plates of plywood, and to my surprise I got home safely

I can imagine a mechanic in Havana watching these videos for ideas. The cars in Cuba are kept running with some creative ideas like this.

this is seriously one of the best channels on YouTube. respect from the USA

I remember helping my dad replace the clutch in his 1965 Ford Galaxie 500. It has the 390 with the 4 speed manual. That clutch would go out frequently and my dad decided to use a ceramic racing clutch. it worked although the pedal was heavy. The car never had an issue since. Now I own the car.

A high temp adhesive and surfacing the contact faces of the tile. Using rivets or screws would only introduce weak points in the tile and if they get even a little loose, the jolting would cause premature cracking. The hot spots on the flywheel and pressure plate have a couple causes. If the material was not uniform, there would be different spots with different properties. Like mixing a cake and not getting all the lumps. This is not very common with today's manufacturing, even for the cheap stuff. I believe yours happened because of uneven contact and wear creating isolated areas of high friction instead of dispersed wear. Your ingenuity and willingness to take on these projects is appreciated.

Need a re-do with the smooth/decorative side out, just to see what happens.
@dermetzger
Ok... I'm not even gonna lie, I was damn near certain that disc was gonna explode, like IMMEDIATELY. But, that burnout literally left my jaw dropped open... I love this goddamn channel
@daysend1341
Powder the tile and mix it with fiberglass resin to make your own plates. That would be awesome and cheep to do. Love you guys ❤️ definitely one of my favorite channels on YouTube.

The hotspots on the friction disc are due to the thickness of the disc… As steel is heated the friction coefficient gets higher, so it grips, or gets hotter faster. Since the back of the friction disc isn't machined, it has thin spots, and those get blued.
@FeralDayASMR
try again with smooth side this time as rubbing surface
@slocavky
This video was great. Absolutely took me for surprise.. didn't expect it to work.
@techn1kal1ty
I wish we had Ladas here in the US, I love the way they look.
@drtydzlcreations
Some racing clutches are very coarse. I suggest using big metal cut off wheels or a grinding wheel to drill and counter sink into. Been watching for a long time and enjoy seeing y'all push the limit's and create.
@AnwarZafar
The material failed due to the hammering effect while engaging the transmission. It was obvious as the material did not have any elasticity in it which makes the leather survive the jerks while engaging.
@dmeemd7787
I can't believe that adhesive handled as long as it did! That's great! Friggin LOVE this channel!!! 😊👌🤘🏻
@midniter2001
It is rather impressive how well it was holding up
@rotax636nut5
Try this again but use a couple of 30cm metal or stone cutting grinding discs, use the water jet to cut them to shape and rivet them to the pressure plate. Grinding discs have a strong woven construction that incorporates the ceramic friction material and are designed to be strong in tension, heat proof and completely shatter proof

I love these guys! We all pretty much know what is going to happen, but they set out and actually prove it and sometimes prove what we think will happen to be wrong! Either way I get excited whenever they post a new video!
@-A-Hybrid-Skunk-Productions-
That was a really awesome video Team Garage 54. You guys was awesome. I find it really amazing how something that is so smooth can grip so tightly. It is so puzzling but it is amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
