Time for a clutch. My stock clutch is still good, but won't hold when the bottle is on. What is the best clutch for a ZF that combines drivabilty, quietness, and performance? I'm not interested in something that has massive clamping force and immediately breaks the rear. I need something that will protect the Dana 44 and hold 500rwhp. Do I need to go away from the dual mass or can I keep it?

Thanks...

Did you see this post yet??

Yes...I have already retained Josh as my C4 clutch consultant. I'm curious what everyone else has had success with.

At this point I'm leaning towards a Centerforce, but am open to other options. I'm not crazy about the noise factor of a single mass flywheel, but I guess that's what comes with making big power.

Anybody else had success with a dual mass and hardened disk?

You might try calling McLeod. Unlike most companies, I've gotten answers from them that weren't based on my buying their products. When I had the twin in my car, I called them a couple times, and each time the guy asked my why I put that clutch in the car, lol.

They might have a pretty good solution for you.

I don't know if you got my E-mail, but if you want quiet and more clamp, there is only one option that I know of. The centerforce pressure plate, centerforce disk, and the stock dual mass.

McLeod has stepped up their product line a lot in the last year or so, and they might offer something now that is superior to the CF flywheel/CF disk/stock DM set up; I don't really know.

They are in California, they should be open in a couple hours. It wouldn't hurt to call them and ask.

I have a question. If I replace my clutch, must I replace the flywheel?


Say I go stock replacement, or with something that works with the dual mass, does the flywheel need replacing?
