Ford Mustang Clutches - Clutch Players

The Custom Clutch
Until recently, many excessively high-horsepower applications required a custom- designed clutch assembly to deal with the intense load characteristics. As you have seen, many of the companies listed here now offer clutch assemblies that have incredible clamp-ing capabilities. In a racing environment, though, every ounce of weight and horsepower is figured in to the final equation, which also takes into consideration vehicle weight, tire size, and the powerplant driving the vehicle down track. Where every vehicle dynamic needs to be squeezed for all its worth, a custom clutch assembly may be your best bet, and companies like Advanced Clutches and McLeod can help. The clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, clutch fork, and pivot ball are all scrutinized to provide the best product per application. As you might imagine, the cost isn't cheap, but neither is winning.
