Clutch Help?

[Archive]

I've now got way to much HP for the stock clutch #ad

I'm looking for recommendations that are not to expensive #ad

I can slip the clutch with about 1/4 throttle, I can't wait to be able to full throttle this thing #ad

Badly in need of a clutch

I have the centerforce dual friction which I needed approximately 10 seconds after I installed the #4 plate. So far at about 30K miles with the enhancements, no problem. Time will tell if it will hold the enhancements that are coming.

I also have the centerforce the first one broke the center out,they replaced it and this one seems to be a good one a few truck pulls have not killed it,but if I were in the market today I think I would try a South bend clutch 219-256-5064 they have a new clutch that sounds promising but I don't know of any one with one yet.

I have a Luk Pro Gold and with my plate all the way forward it would slip at 3/4 throttle. Back in the stock position it seem to hold. I am going to go for the Sachs clutch from Joe Donnelly when I'm ready.

Jim Leonard sells proven clutches from 300hp up, street holds until 400hp, pulling model hold until 400 plus, the metalic version hold my 590 hp. His clutches start at around 1200 so call, dont spend the money on a centeerflorce,, mine lasted 700 miles with much less torque, they're 90 warrenty doesn't stand up.

I have gone thru a Centerforce in just 1000 miles and they told me that I overpowered the clutch and the warranty didn't apply. I had much better luck with the Corex ceramic clutch and it lasted me 30,000 miles, but it too eventually broke loose and it was horrible in stop and go traffic. I now have the McLeod Dual Disc clutch and it bites hard and behaves like the stock clutch in stop and go traffic. Worth every dollar of the close to 1000 dollar asking price

I knew I should have replaced the clutch first, now that I have all this HP I can't afford the clutch for awhile.
Has anyone pulled there plate back behind the stock location #ad

Funny enough, my truck was smoking bad (because the star wheel was all the way forward... I didn't know) so I moved the plate all the way back. I had just slightly more power than stock.

Full forward would pull trees out of the ground.

Stoped by South Bend Clutch a month ago to pick up pilot bushings for some guy's in Elkhart. They are a Mfg'er for some high hp clutch suppliers,one mentioned in some post,and are currently working on one to hold 600 hp. You can call them tell them what you are working with,and they will match your needs. And you may cut out the middle guy??????? 219-256-5064.
