Cheap getrag 284 clutch??

[skalor]

I was talking on our mIRC channel the other day, and the topic came up about getrag 284 clutches. I was going to buy a SPEC stage I for $489, which seems like a really good deal. Anyways, it came up that the cheap clutches available were actually pretty decent. So, I looked it up at Autozone, and they have a Cumberland(part# NU31179) available for $185. I was wondering if anyone has tried this clutch or has had any experience with this clutch as it could save me a lot of $$$

 

 

 

**remember that this 284 is going to be in a TGP 8)

This is the one I plan on getting for my 284.

I've heard that the Perfection Hytest is a good clutch for the 284. I believe Pocket-Rocket has one and he said it's good?

 

Anyways they're probably all the same, the cumberland may very well be the same clutch with a different name on the box.

both of those are stock replacements.

I think I'm going to go with the Perfection Hytest that you suggest 93GTP. I also read a thread about 284 clutches on 60v6 forums that mentions that clutch as well. It seems like a good alternative to the SPEC. 8) It's interesting to read that all 284 clutches are made from the same manufacturer.
