Clutches for LQ1/284


Canada

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
