hybrid 1043 Report post Posted January 6, 2012 Where is a good place to get a clutch built? I need something that will hold 400ft-lbs and take a beating. Auto clutch in Auckland. Tell them what you want and they'll guide you on the right setup for what you're trying do. Did mine and it rocks. Wasn't too expensive as far as clutches go either. They're kind of a no bullshit type of crowd so go in with what you're after. Also get the whole lot balanced together afterwards. Flywheel/clutch/pressure plate. A little info on my setup.

Flywheel/clutch/pressure plate. Thanks but I already got the whole lot done at waikato clutch and brake, they had it done by that afternoon. I told them my goals and they said it should hold... Its a upgraded sach pressure plate with 950kg clamp pressure, and a organic disk, I decided against a puk clutch because of drivability, but if this clutch does not hold I will go for the puk clutch. Clutch and gearbox is in, just waiting for order to show up from AKG, may aswell do all the bushings while its up on stands. Rear subframe sounds like it is about to fall out.
