Time to replace the clutch in my car and i am clueless when it comes to this. what are the best clutches out there?

 

Are you looking for stock type, or something high performance? Centerforce is probably one of the best, and one of the spendiest! Zoom makes some good products at very affordable prices.

 

i was looking something more on the performance side rather then the stock type. if im replacing it i might as well go big ya kno.

 

You might consider the Zoom kevlar kit that comes complete with clutch, pressure plate, bronze bushing, and throwout bearing for under $200. Here's a sample:

You'll need to know what pressure plate and clutch you have presently before ordering. 10.4", 11", etc. 10 spline or 26 spline.

 

Thats a pretty good deal. I have a centerforce in mine. Back when it was in my Nova I broke it in with a hugh burnout/dougnut show. Not the best way to do it but after 500 hard miles I pulled it and it still looked great minus alittle blueing. Not bad for the hell I put it through. Like Vall said there alittle pricey. You should be fine with the zoom.

 

damn idk which one i have right now.

 

I suppose you could guess that it's stock and order the 10 spline and 10.4" unit, but if it's wrong you'll have to ship it back and wait for another. You might be able to jack the car up and remove the inspection cover to see if you can measure the clutch diameter and possibly see enough of the input shaft splines to see if it's 10 spline as it most likely was when stock. The 10 spline is pretty coarse splines and easy to ID if you can see it. Splines are around 1/8-3/16" wide on each spline of the 10 spline.

 

If its a Saginaw its 10 spline if it is a Borg Warner ST10 its 26 spline. Mine has an 11". But I have no idea what it came out of. The tranny is fbody though. Look and see if the reverse linkage is in the tail shaft or not. Borgs are this way Saginaws aren't.

 

im about to order an new clutch too, the guy i bought my car from just put a new factory replacment in it, that wont last long the way i drive with a 383 and a cam, i need somehting a little stronger

 

Well just be careful about buying a really aggressive clutch. I have the DFX Centerforce in mine and it's either on or off. Hardly no slipping allowed especially when I breaking it in. Really sucked in stop and go traffic.
