Description
When you're running a hydraulic clutch conversion in your AMC muscle car, a standard mechanical-release pressure plate creates problems -- improper lever height leads to binding, inconsistent pedal feel, and premature wear. This Superior series clutch solves that with a diaphragm pressure plate specifically engineered with a lower lever height for hydraulic release systems, delivering the crisp, consistent engagement that hydraulic setups demand.
The dual Kevlar friction facings set this clutch apart from organic alternatives. While organic compounds lose grip as temperatures climb, Kevlar's coefficient of friction actually increases with heat -- meaning your clutch bites harder under the stress of hard launches and repeated engagement cycles. That characteristic makes this setup ideal for performance street duty and open tracking where heat management separates the survivors from the parts-changers. Kevlar also resists burning and glazing far better than organic materials, so even if you overheat the disc during aggressive use, it won't suffer permanent damage.
Every MDL clutch disc is hand-assembled in-house by technicians who double-check runout, balance, and rivet depth before it ships. The sprung hub absorbs driveline shock during engagement, protecting your transmission and rear end while providing smooth, chatter-free operation on the street. The 10.5" disc with 10-spline, 1-1/16" center and 11-5/8" EQ pressure plate bolt pattern fits AMC V8 applications, and the included pilot bushing and alignment tool ensure a straightforward installation.
Rated at 475 ft-lb torque capacity, this clutch handles serious power without sacrificing street manners. Proudly made in the USA and backed by MDL's 1-year free-from-defect warranty, it's a Performance Proven setup that's survived the rigors of racing and daily driver abuse.
