Is there a difference in clutch material in the two different clutch packs? Taking my trans apart I have two different types of clutches? The guy at the parts store said it doesn't make a difference. I had Borg Warner in the high gear drum, and these black plates in the direct drum(?). These black plates are falling apart. Is it a problem to use the Borg Warner plates in both clutch packs? thx matt s

I don't believe it make's any diff on the material, but the thing that I have found is the grooves in the facing, one will have grooves straight across the face and the other will look like a waffle, the only other thing to watch is the thickness of the fiber plate, when I got my master overhaul kit from Mancini the fiber disc's were all the same blue plate material.

The waffle plates are .082 thick. The other plates are .062 thick. Using the .062 plates allows you to put 5 plates in the front drum. I was told to do this by Dave Smith @ ProTrans. Need more input. thx matt s

One reason for the difference in clutch material is because the rear clutch normally engages at idle with the car at a standstill and remains engaged for all forward gears, the front clutch engages under power.
