Description
When your AMC build demands clutch performance that handles serious power while maintaining streetability, the MDL Superior Kevlar/Kevlar clutch delivers the thermal capacity and durability needed for demanding applications. Kevlar friction material offers smooth engagement combined with exceptional longevity--lasting 2-3 times longer than organic facings under equivalent conditions. The dual Kevlar construction on both sides of the disk provides consistent friction characteristics and excellent heat dissipation for repeated hard use.
The diaphragm pressure plate features a lower lever height specifically engineered for hydraulic release systems, providing lighter pedal effort compared to mechanical linkage setups. The Belleville spring design delivers consistent clamp pressure with reduced pedal effort--a significant advantage when paired with hydraulic actuation. The 11-5/8" bolt circle with 3/8" mounting holes ensures proper fitment on AMC flywheels, while the sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock for smooth engagement without chatter.
Unlike organic materials that fade under heat, Kevlar excels at thermal management and can recover from high-temperature events by simply cooling down and re-bedding the friction surfaces. This makes the Superior Kevlar/Kevlar clutch ideal for performance street driving and open track sessions where repeated heat cycles are unavoidable. The 500 lb-ft torque capacity handles substantial power increases beyond stock while retaining excellent drivability.
Each Superior clutch disk is hand-assembled in MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility, ensuring every component meets exacting tolerances before shipping. This attention to detail--combined with nearly 100% Kevlar friction content rather than the 10-20% found in many competitors' "Kevlar" clutches--delivers a ready-to-install premium component straight out of the box. Proudly made in the USA and backed by MDL's 1-year warranty.
