clutches

I have a center force dual friction behind the 600 HP hemi in my GTX. Pushes easy. Its is like its on or off and takes some getting used to but works good. Got one for the z but not driven it

I have had good luck with LUK

Bought a Hays street set-up. The kit had a bad pressure plate and needed to be returned. Because my car was on the trans shop's lift, I had to do something fast and bought a LUK set up which seem to be readly available. No more Speed Shops around where you have a choice and can just go buy this stuff anymore. I heard good things from some members here about LUK and also from Mike Cody who owns the trans repair shop. So far it seems real smooth with no chatter or vibrations. Pedal pressure is good too. Don't run slicks or do any real drag racing with it so it should be fine.

Hi Sammy, I bought a Ram muscle car series clutch for my Z, and it had a defective pressure plate as well. It took many calls and months to get RAM to replace it (the found root cause was a missed machining operation)but finally they sent a replacement. I went with a LUK clutch and it works fine in my Z with over 400hp. Very inexpensive but operates fine with 6500 rpm shifts.

Good to know Steve and thanks. Really is smooth. Better than I thought it would be.

In this case the clutch is much smoother than the operator [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

What was &quot;bad&quot; about the Hays Street Clutch pressure plate? I have one and I've been chasing a vibration - that's why I'm asking.

[Salvatore]

It only allowed some of the fingers to be depressed. Could not disengage the clutch all the way. I had a vibration in the old set-up. The disc was going bad and finally wiped some of the material from the rivots.
