[DeTomaso] what clutches that work with the ZF?

[Ken Green]

Julian,
 
    I'm trying to figure out what makes one a Pantera clutch versus a Mustang clutch.  I understand the issue with the weights in some three finger clutches that come out at higher RPM and nail the inside for the bell housing, but what is the issue with other pressure plates?  Are some thinner and the throwout bearing can't be adjusted properly?  
 
    There also is the mod to the original disks to remove the marcel spring to shorten engagement/disengagement, but as far as I know, the "Pantera" disks offered by Centerforce and McLeod have the marcel spring?

Got to www.Jegs.com and type in "Pantera clutch" as keywords and you'll get a list of 8 Mcleod choices and 4 Centerforce. No photo's but you can go back to the clutch manufacturers wenbsite and pull up the specific part numbers for more details on each option.
