My clutch started slipping under load during my last track outing, and I confirmed today that it is still happening.

I believe the clutch and flywheel on the car are stock factory bits with several years of track events and some occasional canyon driving on them. Now that I've transplanted a very stout 2.7/six in place of the modest 2.2, I'm thinking that something lighter and stronger would be a plus if not a downright necessity.

Trans is a sideshift 914/901 with short gears, 904 mainshaft, and Guard LSD, so it's very direct in how it hooks-up and transfers power.

What's the hot ticket these days? The car is 90% track-use and it's already fairly brutal to drive on the street so I don't mind tilting even more in that direction if there is a noticeable benefit and good strength/reliability.

Thanks,

More history. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)
I did the conversion to a 2.4L back in 98.....pre internet for me. Information was available where you could find it. On the clutch, information was sketchy but a bit of info was about Kennedy. What I didn't know (amongst other stuff) was how stiff was stiffer. I went with the Stage I hoping to make the notorious linkage live as well as keeping the new motor hooked up to the rest of the driveline. In 9 years of use it never had an issue withthe clutch or linkage.....and there were 8 years of abuse.
A motor rebuild after 7 years showed the clutch/flywheel to be in superb condition so I slapped it all back in behind the rebuilt motor.
The stage II may be a better set up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
