clutch options, what kits are available for a big 4 car Options

[nsr-jamie]

Well, got some bad news that its about time to replace my clutch after all these years...had been going good for the last 10 years and than when I checked my car into the bodyshop for some insurance paint and bodywork it came home with a poorly functioning clutch and now looks to need replacement. It will work for a little more but is slipping...I was quite angry with the bodyshop as this has happened and am still discussing this problem with the owner...

I searched around for some clutch kits here in Japan and could not find much and know places like AA and Automotion sell them but wanted to ask what others are running or may recommend.

My car is a 72 4 cylinder model with a 2.2L big bore kit, performance cam, big valve heads, 40mm duel dellortos and puts out around 140 HP...I was using a stock clutch with I believe a 6 spring 911S disc but can't remember cause it has been so many years.

Looking at some kind of performance clutch kit that will last a long time and not break the bank. Any suggestions, ideas or recommendations?

Thank you

The stock SACHS clutch will work. There used to be a 4 spring driven disk used on the 1.7/1.8. The 2.0 used a 6 spring driven disk, just like the early 2.0 six. Supposedly the clamping force on the 4 was about 900 lbs and the 6 had 1100 lbs (all from memory).

They are all the same now ... 6 spring and same clamping force.

Your next option is aftermarket or beefing up the stock clutch. Clutch rebuilders like Clutch Masters can up the clamping force of the pressure plate. Your next option is the Kennedy setup or any number of aftermarket clutches (Centerforce, etc.)

I run a 2.7L in my teener (180 HP) and have no slipping problems with the stock /6 clutch.

All depends upon how much money you want to throw.

And the question Mark asked about the body shop should be answered ... 1.) Did someone at the body shop tighten the clutch cable? 2.) Did an idiot drive it and slip the clutch burning the faces of the flywheel / pressure plate? 3.) Was it just old and finally gave in?
