Re: 71 442 W30 - Two Plate Clutch? Interesting...
I was the second highest bidder on that NOS clutch set-up. The dual plate clutch set-up was invented/designed by Chevrolet engineer Gib Hufstader, the option was known as MA-6 option for Chevrolet. It was an option for Corvette and Camaro in 1969, however I only know that 102 units were fitted to 1969 Corvettes with option L-71/L89 engines. This option became standard equipment on all manual transmissioned 1971 LS-6 Corvettes. There were 188 LS-6 Corvettes built, with an additional 12 ordered with ZR-2 option, of those 188 cars, some were M40 equipped, so we do not know exactly how many clutches were used, we know there were 110 M22 LS-6's, the other 78 cars are split between M21 and M40 transmissions.
Does anyone have documented proof of any MA-6 equipped Camaros?
I never knew that Oldsmobile offered this clutch set-up. This is quite fascinating to me!
