| 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. |
| SPEC Clutches
Bessemer AL, 1(205)491-8581 |
 Assembly view of a "low inertia" multidisc SPEC clutch. Drag racers use high inertia assemblies to take advantage of a high reving 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 asseblies are more responsive. SPEC's carbon technology allows the clutch plates to maintain friction properties at high temperatures. Full billet assembly. |
