Description
Hydraulic clutch conversions in early GM muscle cars often run into the same problem: standard clutch assemblies interfere with concentric slave cylinders, forcing builders to compromise on actuation or clearance. The MDL Superior 11-inch Clutch Kit solves this with a specifically engineered low lever height that provides the room needed for clean hydraulic operation without binding or interference.
The dual-friction disc combines Kevlar facing on the pressure plate side with steel-backed organic material on the flywheel side. This pairing delivers smooth, progressive engagement for streetable daily driving while providing the grip to handle 500 ft-lb of torque. The sprung hub absorbs driveline shock loads and dampens gear rattle--critical for performance street builds where drivability matters as much as power capacity. The diaphragm-style pressure plate maintains consistent clamping force across the full range of clutch wear.
Every MDL Superior clutch is hand-assembled in-house in Caldwell, Idaho. Components are double-checked for accuracy and quality before they go in the box, so you receive a ready-to-install kit with no surprises. The 12-5/8-inch EQ bolt pattern fits 1960-1990 Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick applications. Backed by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects and MDL's lifetime technical support.
