MDL Superior 10in. Long Clutch Set
Perfect for those using the stock 289/302 10in. long pattern flywheels looking for high-performance street performance and smooth engagement.
Fits:
Four-speed and T5 conversions
Features:
Ceramics and semi-metallics have a higher 'coefficient of friction than the other materials MDL offers, so it bites harder and holds more power, given the same clamping force.
These surfaces are desired in racing applications for how quickly they engage, as well as for handling extreme heat and abuse.

Ceramics and semi-metallics have a higher 'coefficient of friction than the other materials MDL offers, so it bites harder and holds more power, given the same clamping force.
These surfaces are desired in racing applications for how quickly they engage, as well as for handling extreme heat and abuse.
MDL ceramics have iron pieces in them that create more friction as the material gets hotter.
For more street-oriented applications, we would use ceramics when we need higher holding power but can't fit a larger diameter disk (more surface area = more holding power).
If you cant go to a pressure plate with a higher clamp load, then Ceramic metallic surfaces are a good way to go.
As an example, smaller engines make good power but are limited to sub 10in. disk size.The 3 attributes that determine the torque rating of a clutch are:
All MDL Superior clutches are carefully hand-assembled In-house to ensure quality, exacting standards, and flawless operation before they are shipped.
- Surface area (disk size)
- Coefficient of friction (Kevlar, organic, ceramic)
- Clamping force of the pressure plate. To get higher torque handling ratings, we must increase at least one of those 3.
All MDL Superior clutches are carefully hand-assembled In-house to ensure quality, exacting standards, and flawless operation before they are shipped.
So you receive a ready-to-install Premium piece right out of the box backed by a 1-year 'free from defect' warranty.
