Description
When your classic GM build needs reliable clutch performance without the harsh engagement of race-only setups, the MDL Superior 10.5-inch clutch kit delivers that balance. The Kevlar/steel-backed organic facing combination provides strong holding power while maintaining the smooth engagement and extended service life that street-driven performance cars demand. Rated at 350 ft-lb torque capacity, this kit handles serious power while remaining civilized in stop-and-go traffic.
The engineering centers on proven diaphragm pressure plate technology that delivers consistent clamping force across the full friction surface. Unlike finger-style pressure plates that can create hot spots and uneven wear, the diaphragm design distributes load evenly for maximum friction surface utilization and longer clutch life. The sprung hub absorbs driveline shock during engagement, protecting transmission synchronizers and reducing the harsh feel that makes daily driving miserable.
This kit is specifically configured for hydraulic actuation systems, making it ideal for builders running internal or external hydraulic release bearings. The 11-5/8-inch equal bolt pattern fits the vast majority of early GM applications, and the included pilot bushings cover both Chevrolet and Buick/Oldsmobile/Pontiac cranks—so you are covered regardless of which engine sits in your project.
Every MDL Superior clutch disk is hand-assembled in-house at Modern Driveline's Caldwell, Idaho facility. Each assembly undergoes double-check quality control before boxing to ensure you receive a precision-built component that installs correctly the first time. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year free-from-defect warranty.
