Mcleod Diaphragm, because you said he can't have a Centerforce 🙂

All,

Since a Charlie is asleep on India I will ask another question on his behalf.

He needs a new clutch, and will not be using a Centerforce so don’t even ask.

McLeod is the way to go. He has options of course.

If he sticks with a three-finger clutch he can use an organic or dual-friction disc. These would be the simplest and least expensive alternative.

If he switches to diaphragm style, that entails greater expense, not even considering the added cost of the purchase of an adjustable throwout bearing. He would also have to choose between organic or dual-friction disc.

His motor is a 351-inch Cleveland with Aussie heads and a nice cam. So it has loads of torque and perhaps 400-425 hp. The car is exclusively street-driven and while the vast majority is highway cruising, he does beat on it on occasion.

So: three-finger or diaphragm? Organic or dual-friction? He has four options with progressively greater costs, and his budget is not unlimited.

Weigh in with your opinions as to what he should do, and why you think he should do what you suggest?

Mike
