1098 Ducati Performance Slipper Clutch Parts

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Sikorsky From Hell, Dec 21, 2015.

  1. Hi,

    My 1098 has a Ducati Performance slipper clutch fitted. If i were to change any of the parts in the clutch, such as the pressure plate or the friction and drive plates, do they have to be specific for a slipper clutch or will any parts (as long as they are for a 1098) fit and work ok?

    Thanks for any info.

  2. Pressure plate is specific to slippers but the plates, friction and steel are not. Andy

  6. Ducati Performance didn't make a 48 tooth basket. Andy

  7. Good point, I'll check.

  8. Ok, thanks, I'll check. I have read that a 48 tooth basket can make the clutch smoother and quieter. Is that right?

  9. Matter of taste. Initial outlay is quite high as is the cost of the plates but they are supposed to last longer. Tighter tolerances on the slots and tangs do make it less rattly. Andy

  10. Thanks. First thing is to strip my existing clutch, see how many teeth the basket and plates have and then measure the tolerances for wear. Should keep me busy over Christmas with all the relatives around - "Ahh excuse me, just gotta go and check on something.." sneaks off to the garage and locks himself in!

  11. Should only need to remove the outer cover to identify the number of tangs so 10 minutes tops. When you disassemble the friction and steel plates ensure you keep them in the sequence you take them out. I have a fair amount of experience with slipper clutches so feel free to PM me if you need anything, although don't expect an answer on boxing day because I'm driving down to Penarth and back in the day.

  12. Android853sp,

    Did as you suggested and there are 12 tangs, so cheaper to replace the basket and plates.

    I'll take photos as I go to make sure everything goes back the same. Thanks for the offer of help. May well take you up in that, but not on Boxing Day.

    Cheers,

    SFH.

  13. Price up both before you decide and be aware that some aftermarket slipper clutches had a light weight aluminium basket. Steel plates and an aluminium basket are not destined for a long life. OE steel baskets vary in price between models but can be had for about £160 ish. New OE steel/ceramic plate sets also vary between models but are about £140. Be very sure what you are buying as some sellers routinely do not include a set of plates in the purchase price of a kit. Andy
