Hello,

looks like I’m going to need to replace my clutch and pressure plate and I’m wondering what everybody is using out there. I have a 67 R/T and I am getting a lot of chatter after driving the car for awhile. Doesn’t do it cold though. Your input is appreciated
 
Brewers likes McLeod. Good enough for me.
Call Dan at Brewers, he will answer any questions you may have. A good Mopar guy.

More information needed on drivetrain - and your own personal preference between diaphragm type or B & B type
clutch?
 
Centerforce dual friction disk all day long. I've broken a bunch of clutches, but Centerforce is holding up well. I've never run a McCleod though

Thanks for your reply. I’m not racing this car. It’s mainly for cruising, so diaphram type clutch. Car is sporting a 440 with a A833 tranny

I just recently switched over from Borg n beck to a Center force, and I really like it.
It's a dfx, not duel friction ( cause I'm racing it with slicks), but after using this I would definitely run duel friction on the street.
 
I have CenterForce DF on 2 cars with 23 spline transmissions and really like them a lot. Tried the same on a 18 spline and hated it. Even sent it back to CenterForce and they said it was within specs. VERY strong and abrupt pedal.
 
I used the Ram b&b type. Really like it.

That was my experience with one also - like an off/on switch.
I have a RAM 3-finger in the car now and they're rather crude also.
If I want to try another B&B, choices are very limited anymore (maybe a Hayes?).
If I try another diaphragm, it would be the McLeod I think.
 
I was running a Hays organic bnb before and it was a good clutch. I just wore it out. I also got the feeling that an organic will retain heat and not hold if you hot lap the car.
The Hays I had was from the 90s. I think Holley owns them now, and it seems to me Holley neglects the non-carburator products.

I have a Ram B&B now and don't particularly like it - whatever these non-organic discs are, they're quite
abrasive and abrupt in operation. I'd really like to get an old-fashioned organic one like the Hayes in it again.
 
I've always run street/strip style 3 finger clutches. On my 55 chevy, I decided to call Centerforce as I wanted something a little calmer and better in traffic. They were very helpful. I've never had such a smooth clutch with an easy pedal in a hot rod. I'm sold on them for street use. Also, I still hammer on the car and it's never hinted of not holding and I get zero chatter. They're definitely worth a try on street. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

Standard dual friction model?

Actually when I called and told them 400hp street car (3500lbs) with 3:73, they recommended the CFII clutch not the more expensive dual friction. They did say the dual friction is more strip oriented thus possible chatter, harsh engagement, etc on street. I was surprised but really happy with their recommendation.

Sounds like Centerforce is the way to go. Thanks for the help
