Improving backshift?

[Teth-Air]

Well I was very happy with the motor performance of my 09 m-6 turbo today but I now realize its time to start improving the clutching.

It is a bit soft out of the hole, then rips hard to about 8200 rpm and gets moving fast and shifts out just fine. The problem is that when I let out of the throttle, it just doesn't seem to backshift very well. With only a 600 and a bit of turbo lag, I need quick backshift to be able to recover track speed.

I hear that these secondary clutches are not great for backshift but I'm sure it can be improved.

Can someone recommend a stiffer secondary spring or a good helix to try?

It has stock orange spring in the driven and stock 36 degree helix now.

thanks,

Chris

D&D shift assist and high tourque rollers made a big difference on my m8 backshift and engagement is much smoother, i don't have a turbo yet but seriously thinking on one.

ive got a few springs and stack of helix cams......went with a twisted kit this year and the twisted clutching, this clutching is ideal for me, great backshifting!!

sure you can research and figure out what it is, but its easier to just call them and get it shipped, he usually has everything in stock

I agree but is yours a 600 or 800? they are a different animal as I dont have the torque.
