Looking to replace my clutch while tranny is out to get freshened up. What is a good street clutch? I don't do any raceing but do enjoy beating it up around town. Looking for a good clutch that will hook up well without killing my left leg in traffic. What do you guys sugest? Car is a 68 Super Bee with 440 and 3.55 gears

I run a Center Force dual friction.More than enough for a street car and mine sees quite a bit of strip time.Light pressure and hooks great.My 440 pushes 550 hp.Its been in for over 10 years.I did change TO bearing to a timken.Only thing Ive done.I might try the McCleod dual disc next.But at close to a grand for a mostly street car thats a lot.Rocky

x2 for Centerforce. Very light pedal pressure and clamps well. The only thing I don't like is there's not much transition travel (it's disengaged/engaged in about 1-2 inches of travel) and it engages very high on the pedal travel. The good part is you only have to depress the pedal only about the first 2-3 inches or so to shift.

X 3 for Center-Force. My driving style has assassinated many clutches over the years. I haven't been able to do any damage to the Center-Force in my Challenger. It's no racecar but it does run 12.50@110. Over 100 passes with slicks, never even needed an adjustment.. Doug
