[DeTomaso] Pantera content - dual disc clutches

[Ken Green]

You should talk to Art, I'm pretty sure his is diapragm, but I don't know about the springs in the disk.

Thanks Ken
The only "street twin" clutches for 351C that I could find with diapragm
springs had solid center (unsprung) discs. I'm not sure these are really
suitable for true street use?
I also wonder about them fitting inside our bell housing.

        McLeod makes the Street Twin in both 3 finger and diaphragm:

          Just to open a Pantera topic on the list...

          I've heard a lot of comments about heavy clutch effort in our
Panteras. Some
          people say they find even the Centerforce still a bit much in
traffic?

          Does anyone run a dual plate clutch on the street or have any
first hand
          experience regarding the pedal effort on them?

          It appears McLeod offer a "street twin" clutch for a 351C but I
don't knoe
          if it fits in our bellhousing ? Also, it seems the only dual disc
type they
          offer for street use is a long type instead of a diaphragm.

          The old optional dual plate diaphragm clutch that GM sold for high
HP
          Corvettes in the 69-71 era were supposed to hold the LS6 454 etc.
and be
          easy for the little woman to push the clutch in.

          Just curious.

          Barry
