Clutch Disc Recommendation
I’m looking for a clutch disc recommendation. I currently have a Hays Street/Strip setup in the Chevelle and have loved it from day one. Unfortunately they have discontinued it. BUT.....I found a lightly used pressure plate that is exactly what I have in my car now but want a good, STREETABLE disc. I do abuse the car a "little" and take it to the drag strip 2 or 3 times a year but I despise clutch chatter. The Hays disc was simply an organic disc but worked great!
McLeod recommended their Super Street Pro which is organic/ceramic. I was thinking their all organic disc..... Thoughts??? Kurt |

I ran a Centerforce Dual Friction in my car for many years with no problems and no chatter. Light pedal pressure too. Many 7000 RPM shifts and lots of abuse and it never slipped.

I have 2 centerforce clutches. One in the 472 inch hemi. No problems and they work nice

I’m really only looking for just the disc, not a complete clutch kit, as I have two good Hays pressure plates.
My main concern is, do I use a dual friction or just stay with the organic that I’ve been using? So far, McLeod, Ram and ACT discs have the best reviews......from the research I’ve done. No offense to any other product. Kurt |

I've got a dual friction here and just purchased a Mcleod SSPro like you mentioned. They're really the same disc, organic/ceramic puk. The Mcleod is a little more than half the cost.
Breaking in a dual friction was cake and there was no chatter. You'd be happy with either Kurt. Just follow the break-in procedure. |

I too installed a CF 2 clutch and pressure plate in my Torino and love it. Works great

You can buy the CF DF or McLeod disc and use your pressure plate.

Thanks for the replies......I’m still on the fence of which type of disc to buy although I’m going to decide tonight. I’ve had a few companies reply to my questions that I sent them. That did help.
I’m thinking my pressure plate will be fine but I bought a VERY nice, hardly used Hays pressure plate that’s the same as what I have in the car now. So my plan is to get a new disc, fork and throw out bearing. Then, if the one in my car is good or need litte maintenance, I’ll have that for a backup. Kurt |
