Height, clutches and flywheels

Question

what is the minimum ride height in california?

can clutches and flywheels work for auto transmission cars?

oh, and does an lsd require any fine tuning or adjustments after installation?

Answer 1

actually as a general rule dictated by physics your vehicle should not be lower than 4 inches, is just how gravity and force, moments etc. dictate it should be. Clutches and flywheels can be integrated with automatic systems but serve only one purpose racing. Take per example the new system that the evolution will have twin clutch transmission, currently Volkswagen has a twin clutch version that uses on the Audi. Both are atomatic but in reality the only purpose is reduction in shifting times which equal faster gearing. The result racing machines.

Answer 2

-the ride height is as low as you feel you would be safe in a crash but if you want a number around 45"

--a automatic transmission uses a torque converter that works like a certifical clutch you hit so many rpm's and the pressure causes a gear change

all cars have flywheels the flywheel on a automatic bolts to the torque converter

you can put a automatic behind a manual but you can't put a manual behind a automatic

well you could but the gearing would be very tight to make it pointless and you would have to install a clutch behind the auto

where as in a manual/automatic you could shift the manual and there by change the rpm range on the auto behind it(through the flywheel/tq converter setup) changing the shift points and the overall output rpms of the output shaft in a smooth motion ie

i have done a manual/manual have never done a auto/auto and tried a manual/auto but never installed it(the assembly was huge at almost 8 feet long)

---nope once a limited slip is in and the mesh is correct you just need to watch the fluid and seals and change the fluid from time to time 5yr/60k

usually when you replace the fluid you should check the backlash and mesh for proper placement by using white grease and moving the assembly a rotation and adjust as need be but for the most part just keep the levels up

goodluck
