Big Block Change Over Clutch Kit
11.5in. long pattern diaphragm pressure plate hydraulic release
MDL Superior , Ceramic/Kevlar Facings
Comes with:
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:

The 3 attributes that determine the torque rating of a clutch are:
- 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.
