Default Re: Need Clutch Recommendation: '69 Chevelle L78/M21/3.73

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: [email protected]</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Kurt S</div><div class="ubbcode-body">From JohnZ:
LuK makes outstanding clutches (they're the largest OEM clutch manufacturer on the planet); you can get them overnight from Carolina Clutch (www.carolinaclutch.com) or from www.dialaclutch.com. Smooth engagement, low pedal pressure, and OEM-level reliability.</div></div>

Put one in my camaro (Luk) with NO issues. I Run L60 Mickey's and dump the clutch on occasion and have no problems. Been over a year now. Feels like the factory clutch which was tuff to beat when new in 69. I love soft pedals. Don't really think you need dual this and dual that. Never had them back in the day and I know 95% of the people do not drive em like they stole em anymore. </div></div>

I have an LUK in my Corvettes with no issues, but did install one in my Gold 69 RSZ and had to switch it out because of a faulty pressure plate that came with the clutch. Put in a center force and I like it better than the LUK setups. The pedal pressure is lighter and there is a noticeable adhesion difference in my opinion. I have also heard RAM clutches are as good as centerforce and cheaper.
