Clutch Replacement

[GM-26]

I am considering buying the heavy duty AC Delco Clutch Kit for my Chevelle. Does anyone have one in their car? Just looking for some feedback on the product. Good or bad.

I put an ACD clutch kit in my GTO a couple of years ago. I don't remember any mention of Heavy Duty, so maybe it was a std. one?? It was "Hecho in Mexico"

It's great around town, good pedal. When running it hard, it slips a little between gears. Could be a possibility that I didnt observe the proper break-in period, though http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

The last two Ive built used Mcleod and CFIIs. I was very pleased with the pedal on both of them.

I would use a Centerforce. It has a soft pedal that is easier on all the linkage etc and is very strong.

I agree with Charley...it holds very well with a decent pedal.

Thank you for your advice gentleman.

I've got a Hays Clutch in my 67 Camaro and really like it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif It has just the right pedal feel.

I like the CFII's as well..put a Hays in my COPO..lasted 62 miles before I had to change it out due to excessive chattering.

I just used a Hays (strip diaphram) and after about 200 miles it's starting to Chatter also. I'm going to use centerforce next time.

I always use GM clutch and pressure plate, in my 70 chevelle and my 68 camaro never had a problem. I had one in my 66 chevelle ss beat the hell out of it lasted 40 thousnad miles.

I also use the GM ones Peter but not the one in the picture.That assembly is different than what we have got in the past.Like you everthing from a ls-6 to a 454 mud bogger with 513's and lockers. Talk about torque and never a problem. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I have a Centerforce dual friction setup in my Chevelle and it has held up well behind the 500 HP big block under the hood.So far it has never slipped or burned like the others I have used,scheiffer,zoom,GM units,hays.I burned all of them at one time or another within 2 years.I switched to the centerforce dual friction and it works GREAT!BITES LIKE AN ALIGATOR ON STEROIDS!
