Hi Paul,



Wondering if anyone knows anything about centrifugal clutch suitable
for the Mazda

There is a centrifugal clutch produced by Rotax for their C gearbox
but they are very low horse power

It appears that Rotax C gearbox is used on the turbo in the Jet Exec
conversion put out by Kiss

I am unable to ascertain if the clutch has been used unmodified or if
it has been modified.

I have been told that the gearbox has heavier gears in it but can’t
be certain.

If anyone know about this or any alternatives in centrifugal
clutches.

Alternatives that will provide a break between engine and gearbox
would be helpful, of course the main consideration is weight and

shock loading.


All help appreciated


Kind regards

George from Aus



    Hi!: I'd say the interest of a centrifugal clutch on any kind of engine is little,
specially if intended for street use, it disconnect from power when you won't need this,
may eliminate the little 'motoring brake' inherent to rotaries, and for car use, an usual
  automatic transmission reduces the load of the internal gearing of RCEs, specially
 at high rpm, a centrifugal clutch is the kind of idea I'd never imagined, but you get
 good results in the more unexpected places.
    Have a good weekend, best regards. Salut †
