Default Re: Jerico clutch sensor?

Todd,
Does that put the sensor in the bellhousing on the candlestick? That's where mine is on my GF5-R. When removing/reinstalling the trans I have to be careful as I have broken the sensor before. Also use adel clamps or cush clamps to hold the cable to the candlestick and away from the TOB.

Sean

Sensor is in the side of the trans.

Sorry to hijack, but why would you need a clutch sensor? What is its purpose?

The biggest reason is to show what the clutch is doing and when. Clutches need to slip to be effective, but when, how much and how long they slip is a big deal. You can know exactly what happened and adjust tuning and driving to improve very quickly with a racepak or similar data acquisition system and a good clutch sensor.

To those who have installed the magnet in the input shaft, how deep did you spotface the input shaft to install the magnet? Full depth of the magnet, or less?
