Description
When you need serious holding power but can't step up to a larger diameter clutch, ceramic friction material delivers. This MDL Superior 10.4" metric clutch assembly puts full ceramic facings on both sides of the disc, giving you the aggressive bite and heat tolerance that drag racing and hard launches demand. Ceramics have a higher coefficient of friction than organic or Kevlar materials, so they hold more power given the same clamping force - critical when disc diameter is constrained by your bellhousing.
MDL's ceramic friction material contains iron particles that actually increase friction as operating temperature climbs, so this clutch gets stronger under abuse rather than fading. That characteristic makes it ideal for drag racing where you're putting maximum heat into the clutch on every launch. The trade-off is engagement feel - ceramic clutches engage more abruptly than organic or Kevlar setups, so this isn't a daily-driver choice. It's purpose-built for performance applications where maximum torque transfer matters more than smooth pedal modulation.
Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility. The discs are double-riveted to maintain quality and flawless operation under racing conditions, then inspected before shipping. The sprung hub design dampens drivetrain vibration while the 10.4" metric bolt pattern with three alignment dowel holes ensures precise positioning on Ford 5.0L HO and similar applications using 8mm pressure plate bolts. The included mechanical release profile throwout bearing works with both cable and mechanical linkage setups.
Rated at 600 ft-lb for drag racing applications, this kit delivers the complete clutch assembly ready to install. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year free-from-defect warranty.
