Description
Building a high-performance 289 or 302 and need serious holding power without sacrificing street manners? This Superior 10" Long Pattern clutch kit pairs a Kevlar pressure plate facing with a bronze flywheel facing to deliver the best of both worlds: smooth, progressive engagement for daily driving and aggressive bite when you need to hook up at the track.
The engineering here is all about maximizing grip within the constraints of the original 10" long pattern flywheel. Kevlar and bronze materials deliver a higher coefficient of friction than standard organic facings, meaning more holding power from the same clamping force. The bronze facing contains iron particles that actually create more friction as temperatures rise -- ideal for repeated hard launches or aggressive street driving without fade. The 450 ft-lb torque rating handles serious small-block power while the fully sprung hub design with marcel spring protects your drivetrain and delivers precise clutch feel.
Every Superior clutch is hand-assembled at MDL using the finest components available. Double-riveted construction ensures quality and flawless operation, with each assembly checked and double-checked for accuracy before shipping. This kit fits 289/302 applications using stock 10" long pattern flywheels with mechanical (Z-bar) clutch release systems -- perfect for four-speed and T5 transmission swaps.
When you buy a Performance Proven product, you know it has survived the rigorous challenges of racing on and off track. Made in the USA and backed by MDL's 1-year free-from-defect warranty with lifetime technical support.
