Although 8ball's description was quite good, for any who might need additional clarification the Manual Transmission article on Howstuffworks.com has diagrams along with their description, which might prove helpful for the visual learners among us (like me).

 

Well i tried some double clucthing on the way to work today. I am not good at it...lol


I guess I should have practiced more on my old VW rabbits...lol

 

Thanks, John! ... now we can get back to pulleys ...

 

"thread-jacked" again

 

We have only put pulley's on with the ECU, but from what I see in this recent post it would appear that the ECU 13.85 HP and 9.9 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels over a pulley and air intake with out the ECU.

This is only an estimate in as it is had to judge two cars unless they are dyned at the same place and time.

What HP and torque are you getting at your wheels?

That's pretty much exactly what I'd like to see from an ECU - 10-15 horses and 10lbs of torque over the pulley and intake. I'm THRILLED with the pulley. If I can get another 10lbs of torque with the ECU, I'll have more torque than the JCW and I'll be more than satisfied.

 

Here is wrbrady's dyno run:

 

Well, I had hoped to shoot some video today (Saturday) of the Mini with the pulley change but we got sleet last night.

I'll get it as soon as I can!

Pulley is certainly tempting,but it does move the car out of G stock class

I heard it does although I'm not certain.

 

Dyno run, I got the crayola out of the USB port...
