You might contact EVWest. They are a dealer for these motors and have quite
a bit of experience with them. I have a Suzuki Swift with an AC50 with over
50k miles and 7 years on it using the standard clutch assembly for that car.
Works well. Shifting takes about 1/2 sec. The car will start off in
Thanks for the feedback guys, really great info.
Hadn't thought about the torque smoothing qualities of a clutch, which is
also a great reason to have one!
Does anyone know which bolts I can undo to take a look inside the motor?
There are four big ones on the back that are currently going
The springs in the clutch center, and the torque-limiting nature of
the clutch itself serve to limit peak torque in the transmission and
driveline. The transmission and the driveline components need the clutch
and its center springs to survive long-term.
It is not the torque _from_
I also have an older DC powered conversion with a clutch. I've found that
shifting with the clutch is much faster and much more forgiving. I've driven
it 'clutchless' a couple of times as an exercise, but found it to be very slow
to shift with the foot off the clutch. Matching motor speed
I have an S-10 conversion with the clutch left out, and you certainly
can shift it without the clutch. But the shifts take several seconds as
you wait for the motor to sync up in speed, and the time I spend
coasting, unless planned well in advance to be going down a hill, etc,
can cause cars
It doesn't surprise me of the lack of support from HPEVS. maybe their door is
locked
Regarding the AC-31 which I have a lot of experience with, the motor already
has a
front bearing. The information you received from the seller of the motor is
false. Do your
conversion but leave out the flywheel
Hi Guys,
I am in the process of sticking an HPGC AC-31-01 Motor into a Morris Minor
and was wondering if anyone has any diagrams or manuals regarding this
motor?
I've searched online and emailed HPEV tech support but haven't had any
luck/reply.
I'm planning on keeping the Morris Minor gearbox
