Good LT1 Clutch Disc?
I'm looking for a good clutch disc. I'm going to be using the pressure plate I got off eBay. I was looking at the Center Force disc, but wanted ya'lls opinion. Would would be the best way to go for about 400hp mainly street?

Re: Good LT1 Clutch Disc?
Break in is basically for the disc since contact and friction for power transfer through the rest of the driveline is through that piece. Virtually all wear is in the disc due to it being a heavily wearing piece unlike the PP and FW. So you want it to wear correctly. Make sure the FW and PP are true also. 300-400 miles of break in should do it. Thats how I did mine.

You should be able to tell when its broken in by feel too, mine kept getting grabbier and grabbier. Once it starts chattering a little on takeoff it should be broken in...

Ok we got it in but it is real hard to shift. It grabs almost right at the floor. If you pump the clutch a couple of times before you go into first its a little easier but still hard. Whats goin on here?

Re: Good LT1 Clutch Disc?
my mcleod single disc is junk first i had to pull the tranny after i was all done to shorten the clutch fork fulcrum (the little t-bar that holds the fork to the trans) b/c the fork was contacting the pp and clutch wasn't disengaging now clutch isn't disengaging still. I decided to break it in and see if it gets any better ( only problem is getting it into reverse) well after driving around a little bit it's no better and the other day i slapped it into 3rd and the POS slipped GOOD LUCK with yours
