- Performance Proven designation - validated through real-world racing conditions
Description
Building serious power into your GM? You need a clutch that handles the torque without making every stoplight feel like leg day. The MDL Superior Kevlar/Kevlar clutch kit bridges the gap between brutal race-only setups and underwhelming stock replacements, delivering 500 ft-lb holding capacity with engagement smooth enough for street duty.
The engineering centers on dual Kevlar friction surfaces - the same aramid fiber technology that stops bullets. Kevlar offers two key advantages over organic materials: it lasts 2-3 times longer under equivalent conditions, and its low static-to-dynamic friction coefficient delivers progressive, predictable engagement rather than the grabby on/off behavior of ceramic pucks. Unlike ceramic setups that chatter at low RPM and punish flywheels, this dual-Kevlar design bites smoothly from idle while still holding hard under full-throttle launches.
Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled at MDL's facility with double-riveted construction that eliminates the disc separation failures common in high-abuse applications. The 10.5" diaphragm pressure plate generates consistent clamping force throughout the clutch's service life - no progressive fade as the disc wears. The sprung-hub design absorbs drivetrain shock and reduces gear rattle, keeping your transmission healthy while maintaining positive torque transfer.
Designed for GM mechanical release systems using the standard 11-5/8" equally spaced bolt pattern. The complete kit includes both Chevy and BOP pilot bushings, so you're covered regardless of which block you're running. Every Superior clutch carries MDL's Performance Proven designation - it's survived the rigorous challenges of racing on and off the track. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year free-from-defect warranty.
