Clutchs
I have seen a lot of talk about engines and exhaust and other things but i was wondering what the best type of clutches are. The only reason i an asking is because i can hear the throwout bearing starting to go and i figure if i am going to change that i might as well put in a full clutch set.

....and don't forget the pilot bearing. Most clutch kits come with one, but if you happen to buy each componant separately, you should pick one up. :)

I'm putting the OEM Borg-Warner clutch back in mine and a needle roller pilot bearing that GM uses in their SB trucks.

Hi 1974corvetteowner, changing the full clutch set sounds like a smart way to go, why change just the bearing and 1000 miles later have to take everything apart again.
I agree with 73shark, GM spent big money on research and if they went with BW than that's my choice too. Just my 2 cents worth. |

RE: Clutchs
I was going to recommend the CenterForce II...it is an excellent clutch setup and pairs well well a torquey TH-350...
Have fun swapping clutches! |

Is it not better to inspect the clutch prior toblowing the money ona new one? What if the throw-out bearing is the only component w/ a malfunction? Just something to consider. I also read a post on brakes lately w/ a reply that; one should go out and buy a new caliper prior to seeing if the old one will take a kit, which costs 1/6th. the price.

I completely understand with you are saying Texas Jim and that is what i plan to do but i was just wondering what everyone thought about clutch brands so that in the case that i do need more than the throw out bearing i already have the information |

RE: Clutchs
[/quote] Were they talking end play or out-of-round play? [/quote] end play in the shaft itself i even had a roller one purchased then read all the horror stories about them comming apart after 3-400 miles so i went with the oil impregnated brass instead. thetremmec and other newer style transmissions i guess have much less end play and dont get as sloppy as the older style ones, i dont think you could even see the slop without a new one and a old one side by side for comparison.. |
