Canada Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 So I'm pricing out clutches right now. Clutchmasters has an OEM clutch listed for $580...which is insane. Since this car is going to be turbocharged, I want a clutch that can hold 400 ft-lbs of torque. I emailed clutchmaters to see what they can offer.....I've had custom clutches built by them for tractors and such before...this shouldn't be any different. Anyone else make a strong clutch? What are you guys using? Quote
Canada Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 Its Monday dipshit......I don't have to be there until 12:30. Quote
Aaron Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 I am using basically a stock clutch, I think it was about $350. Not too bad. But I have had no problems with it, in fact it still looked pretty much new when I recently had it apart, and I'm not exactly the easiest driver, although I am pretty easy on clutches. Quote
Canada Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 What clutch do you have? Your website doesn't exactly work....unless you want to give me your password. Quote
stockgp Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 my buddy goes to school with a guy that builds kevlar clutches. if you'd like i'll see if i can get you in touch with him. Quote
Canada Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 I need that and a pressure plate. Quote
Aaron Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Yah that is my own site for hosting pics, adn I locked it. I don't have any pics of it, and I do not know what type it is. I had it changed with the engine about 9,000 miles ago. Quote
stockgp Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 i just got off the phone with my buddy, and he's going to try to find him for me. he doesn't go to school with him anymore, but he lives close to where his school. i'll let you know what i find. Quote
timg Posted February 6, 2005 Report Posted February 6, 2005 SPEC is cheap and highly recommended by everyone I have ever talked with who has used one. I have one waiting to go into my Honda. Tim Quote
Daggar Posted February 6, 2005 Report Posted February 6, 2005 I put stock GM in when I redid the clutch about 2 years ago. I heard Centerforce was nasty on the input shaft and throwout berring. Too much grip. But stock clutch is wonderful here no probs in 2 years. Quote
skalor Posted February 6, 2005 Report Posted February 6, 2005 I have an Advanced Auto 'Zoom' clutch in my 284 equipped TGP and mine is already starting to slip a little. Quote

I heard Centerforce was nasty on the input shaft and throwout berring. Too much grip. But stock clutch is wonderful here no probs in 2 years. I would put the OEM clutch in it...........if I didn't need it to hold a fair bit of power. But since it won't, I can't. Quote
Aaron Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 We got the Zoom clutch, I guess I'll see how I like it. I wish I remember which one was in my white car, I really liek that one. The car will be stock, on a 9.25:1 compression motor, so it holding power isn't an issue. Quote
