Clutches... any suggestions?

TWINSCRW · Guest

I want a clutch set up that will handle the power, but I don't want it to be so heavy that it sucks to drive in traffic...

I hear stage 2 is decent for daily driving... my friend has like Stage 1,000,000 (lol) in his RX-7 and its either in or out.... would suck in traffic...

so far from what I have read.... I will have to go with a stage 3.... stage 2 won't handle the power that I have now.... thinking about a Zoom clutch

I went with the mcleod rst twin disc cause i've heard comments of the light pedal pressure and stock like driveabilty. I don't have it in the car yet so I can't give you my personal opinion, but if you like i can find the links to some of the people that have it in their car. If your concerned about the price of a twin disc the mcleod is the cheapest, i got mine for $650.

This is what I'm looking at. Probably going to go this route....

Zoom Variable Torque

The latest break through in clutches is Zoom's ZVT clutch technology! The ZVT clutch set starts with one of Zoom's performance clutch covers. Every cartridge has been ''pre-tuned'' for each specific application to insure proper fitment and optimal performance.

The ZVT system works by using centrifugal force to pull on the ZVT levers causing a ''pivoting'' action to occur. The outward ''pulling'' force is transferred to ''downward'' force which is applied to the outer point of the clutch diaphragm spring.

This translates to an increase in clamp load applied from the friction ring against the clutch disc. Increase torque capacity is achieved with out an uncomfortable increase in pedal pressure. As you increase your vehicle's RPM, the ZVT system increases your vehicle's torque capacity. ZVT provides holding power only when you need it, not when you don't.

The ZVT kits are offered in four configurations. Ranging from ''Factor-1 rated up to 450 ft. lbs. of torque to the ''Factor-4'' which is rated up to 706 ft. lbs. of torque.

Kits include T.O. bearing, Alignment tool, and Pilot bearings.

THIS IS A FACTOR 2 KIT RATED TO 550 FT.-LB. OF TORQUE FOR 2005-2009 FORD MUSTANG 4.6 10 SPLINE

I'm sure that would be a good clutch i have a zoom in my foxbody and its pretty good. Just take into consideration that 550 is probably BHP and not RWHP so your gonna be maxed from the day of install.

its 550 for torque not HP

The clutch has been ordered.... I went with the Zoom ZVT Factor 3.... I just can't justify almost 1400 for a twin disc.... still waitng for some prices on the flywheel and slave cylinder.

we shall see! it claims to hold 657 lb ft of torque so I should be good.

picked up the clutch today... maybe I'll install it this weekend. It actually came with the slave cylinder and both bearings... I'm impressed. I was planning on replacing the flywheel too but just can't swing it right now hopefully the stocker's not in bad shape

Cool, I would come help Dan, but the old lady has me nailed to the wall this weekend.
