You have to push the clutch to start the car. When you do so the pressure plate itself is being pressed on by hydraulic forces, which in turn carries through the engine via the crank. The load is placed on the thrust bearings, which during startup do not have oil. Bypassing the clutch allows you to start the car without the extra load on the thrust bearings.
My only hesitation and in turn question to Jordan would be what about the force that is now required to turn a cold transmission (even in neutral there is load), where does that extra wear end up and does it potentially negate the benifit of the bypass?

Think about it this way. How hard would it be to drive your car and turn your steering wheel with a 2" steering wheel as opposed to a 14-15" steering wheel? Same concept.

I love my Mugen pressure plate. It's fantastic. If you can wait a few weeks to get, I would go this or the one that everyone recommends. Don't have the same person do the install as before

Thanks Jordan, I was really just searching for an answer, sounds like the bypass is a decent idea even with the OEM clutch.

My only question regarding this mod... Wouldn't having the friction disc and knout shaft involved with starting cause more strain rather than just the flywheel and pressure plate? Sorry for the questions I guess I need illustrations to see exactly whats affected. I'm probably going to end up doing the mod with the act pp. Seems simple enough
