[importmaster1300]

I can get racing clutches for ANY gm truck!
If we get 4 or 5 orders we get 15-20% discounts!
So if we get 10 these will be like $80!!!
I paid $150 for mine (i know it is expensive but look @ it!)

I am interested, can't go wrong for $80. How much work is involved to change the clutch? Did you install yours yet? How do you like it? Any downsides to it at all?
Thanks.

We need more info, like what models/engines/trannies/years these are available for. . .

[Maximus]

What brand are they.

[Supercharged-ZQ8]

I'm interested. What are the holding specs? Comparable to the Centerforce D-F? Or would they be closer to the Stage IIs?

I need specs. . . Not all "racing" clutches are created equally. But, if the specs are what I need, then I'll go for one -- what about throwout bearings? Included? Extra? Cash in hand, waiting on an answer. Got a link to a site with specs?

bout a warrenty LoRyder- I am going to try to unstall it tommorrow, it will deff. be in by this weekend.
When I do the install I will post pics, it is really easy.

Kranzy- I can get 30 diffrent splines because these are custom made, they are NOT name brand. I asked about s-10/ blazers 198X-2004 and he said they can deff. do it.

Max- They are custom built by a shop in Georgia

Supercharged- I can find out the specs tommorrow, these are better than the D/F, they have almost the same material on the pads. I looked into the D/F I asked the guy @ the shop if they were better and he said oh hell yeah, and they can get the d/f.

All that comes w/ it is just what you see in the pic. They DO NOT come w/ a PP, or any bearings. If you guys want a FULL racing clutch I can also get these w/out the springs.

It takes about 3-4 days for the shop to get them. I am going to look into shipping options.

[importmaster1300]

OKAY!
I have all the info!
This clutch will seem a LITTLE "jerky" on a calm take off.
With a little agression it will perform perfectly!

The holding specs are as follows:
69% over stock, w/ the stock pressure plate.
133% over stock w/ an Exedy pressure plate.
the price will be around 110.00 shipped (express) if I get like 8 people.

I must say this or I would be doing a injustice to the board.If you run a heavy duty clutch or racing style clutch on a low horsepower to stock engine it will have about half the life of a stock unit.Another thing about them is they can eat a good pressure plate and flywheel up quik.It's just facts and I have been there and done it.Yeah you will have better holding power but the long term cost could be high.Now if you use a Exedy pressure plate"which is one of the best on the market"then your safe there but your flywheel is still at risk.Also you really should get the flywheel resurfaced when installing a new clutch.Now im not saying stock is the only way to go.Just like other performance based parts you can go overkill on a clutch.Which can hurt overall performance not help it.If you get a heavy duty clutch,pressure plate,and a flywheel your not at risk of shortened clutch life but you won't see any more of an advantage then you would with a mild duty clutch.You need to match the clutch to your setup.For instance my TA has a centerforce dual friction clutch & pressure plate.The TA makes a large amount of hp/tq which causes the stock clutch to have some slippage.So a clutch with greater holding strength is needed to transfer the full amount of hp/tq to the wheels.Now take a decently modded S10 thats making some decent amount of power over stock.The stock clutch is having some slippage with the added power and the usual wear and tear.A better clutch with more holding power would be beneficial to address slippage that is occuring but not like the one that is design for the hp/tq of the TA.Because anymore is just a overkill.Now if you have plans to install larger wheels and tires or a big power adder like a supercharger than the need for the better clutch would be justified.Sorry for the book long post I just don't want a member to see this thread and think he needs to go out and buy the strongest clutch available with out knowing some of the factors in it.Some real good clutch brands are Centerforce, Spec, Clutchmasters, Cartek, RAM,McLeod,and Exedy.Another one that is a commen brand a lot don't know about is Luk.They make a whole of the factory clutches for GM,Ford and Dodge.They have several different options to choose from.Several clutch brands are just repackage Luk clutches.I know Zoom and Ram buy a lot of Luk clutches and sale them under their name.Anyway I hope this info helps someone.And Import that clutch is probably a great clutch just be carefull like I mentioned.

[importmaster1300]

I will. Do you want one? Lol!

[Maximus]

Nah the centerforce df in it now doesn't have that many miles on it.When it does go im going to use the ZO6 clutch kit.It's a bad a** clutch pressure plate and flywheel kit.

Who ever wants one post your stuff like this, please copy and paste it. This will make everything sooo much easier:

Importmaster1300
1998 2.2L w/ springs (or w/out springs for heavy racing)

Ok shipping is as follows:
I would need the money Paypaled to my account and in 4 days@ the most you will get the clutch.
We will have to set a end date for the first buy, I was thinking this Monday but if you guys need more time that is ok, this deal isn't goin anywhere.
I will have to caculate the total cost after I see how many people are going to buy
The price total for each person will be between 100-120.00 depending on how many people want these.

[importmaster1300]

Well I will tell you that it DOES drive totally diffrent!
It is real sensitive now, but there is a HUGE diffrence over stock!
My truck doesnt hesate and I could swear it is a hellova lot faster. I am going to bleed it tommorrow and see if that makes a diffrence in pedal feel cause right now it IS a little diffrent!
I will let yall know more tomm.

[biglouie_underpressure]

looks like a ceramic clutch with a stock style hub.If you have a stock pressure plate i say it's the better replacement.
