I think the clutch disc is bouncing off the FW instead of pushing against it. This because the friction at contact is so great relative to the clamping force of the pressure plate. If I dump mine it sticks and there's no banging. But if I'm gradually releasing than it works okay for a bit but THEN starts banging (bouncing?). When slipping I think most clutches would be transmitting a constant rotational force but mine heats up and STICKS ( refusing to slip). Revving to 2-3000 rpm improves things on my car as well. My disc is a segmented, Kevlar reinforced one. It is supposed to last a lot longer even under high horsepower applications. I say it's too much of a race clutch for me. The next time it's apart I'll put in an organic sprung one if I can find one. On my DD I don't need to give throttle while releasing the clutch but I'm learning to do so when in the P-car. What type of disc have you?
