Clutches:
| McCleod Clutches
Placentia CA, (714)630-2764 |
 Cutaway of a McCleod twin disk clutch assembly. The twin disk clutch can take more heat (because it is distributed over two clutch plates) at launch and thus handle large horsepower engines. |
| ACE PowerForce Clutches
Sullivan MO, 1-573-468-4181 |
PowerForce single and triple disk clutches can handle street to 1500 horsepower motors. Patented lever assist technology adds clutch force without stiffer springs and pedal force. Clutch pressure plate increases with RPM. |
| SPEC Clutches
Bessemer AL, 1(205)491-8581 |
 Assembly view of a "low inertia" multi-disc SPEC clutch. Drag racers use high inertia assemblies to take advantage of a high revving engine and flywheel with the pop of a clutch at the starting line. Road racers have to accelerate with an already engaged clutch. A low inertia assembly can be accelerated by the engine faster thus accelerating the car faster with the press of the accelerator. Low inertia assemblies are more responsive. SPEC's carbon technology allows the clutch plates to maintain friction properties at high temperatures. Full billet assembly. |
Bell Housings:
| Quick Time
Oskaloosa IA 1-641-673-4468 |
Spun high grade steel (not rolled or stamped) and thus dimensionally stable (it will fit precisely). SFI tested and hardened to over 80,000 psi. |
Accessories:
| Energy Suspension
San Clemente CA |

| Hurst shifters: Paddle shift kit |
Camaro gen5 paddle shift kit for automatic transmission. Replaces "tapshift" buttons. No steering wheel removal required. |
| Master Shift
Fallbrook CA 1-760-723-2722 |
Paddle shift of automatic, manual and sequential transmissions. Includes shifter, driver display, clutch position sensor, actuators. Paddle sets the next shift command actuated by the clutch. |
Tranny Swap: Early TH350 swapped into a Third Gen
- Torque arm mount: The TH350 lacks the mount points for the torque arm. Use one of the following:
- Detent cable: The TH350 requires a detent kick-down cable: B&M adjustable cable PN30287
- Vacuum Modulator: The TH350 requires a vacuum modulator: B&M vacuum modulator PN20234
- Drive shaft: The installation of the TH350 requires a longer driveshaft. This will have to be custom made at a driveshaft shop.
- Speedometer connection:
- Electronic speedometers: A conversion unit is required to read an electronic signal from the mechanical TH350 speedo output. Use Stealth Conversions PN4PRS
