Twin disc clutch
Wondering what you guys think of this, [www.ebay.com] . Would it be worth it in a street/track car?

Re: Twin disc clutch
Says condition is new. With flywheel it would definitely be worth it I would say.

Re: Twin disc clutch
I did end up buying the clutch. Ended up being a triple disk, decided to hold off until I build a stronger engine.

Re: Twin disc clutch
I once put a McLeod twin disc clutch in my car. It worked really well, smooth progressive engagement, very light pedal effort. However, there were no springs in the clutch hub(s) and the solid hubs transmitted engine vibration directly into the T-5 transmission. This caused a rattle between about 1500 and 2500 rpm that sounded like the worst pre-ignition knock ever. I could not stand the noise so I replaced it with a conventional single disc clutch and peace and quiet returned.
See if you have sprung hubs in the clutch… |

Re: Twin disc clutch
They are solid hubs on the clutches.
