Snowman Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Look in the yellow pages for a clutch rebuilder. I just talked to Alaska Clutch Rebuilders up here, and I think I found the hookup. I bet other similar places could do the same. They said they can build be a clutch with kevlar facing that will hold about like a regular clutch but will not be destroyed by aggressive use and will last a lot longer. That's going in my offroader/daily driver next time i need a clutch. They've also got a "half and half" clutch that I'm going to put in my RX. The flywheel side has organic facing on it like a regular clutch, and the pressure plate side has a ceramic facing on it that will grip like a mofo. This is especially cool because it will hook up almost like a pure ceramic clutch, but it will give a little so it's not harsh, and it won't chew up the flywheel like ceramic will. The kevlar disk adds about $100 to the price of the unit. I didn't get a chance to ask about the half and half ceramic design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailgatewagon Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 hum did they say that they could build a strong pressure plate as well??? sounds cool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I need to talk to the guy more about the setup. It may be entirely possible to find a heavier spring that would fit in the stock pressure plate. I will let you know what I find out!
