Hi Folks.

I was originally told the reason for the between 38-30% was for the thermal heating of the pads which allowed a clean slowing of the rotor. Where as below the 38-30% say 25ish the pads failed to heat up correctly and glazed therefore causing the transmission to chatter at low speed due to reduction of friction.

Just a thought.
