Who makes a good quality OEM performance clutch kit?
When my truck came apart it had an 11" clutch. The disk actually looked fine, but the pressure plate had a few bent diaphragm fingers, so at least the pressure plate needs to be replaced.
I'd like to get a good stock clutch. Not anything fancy for racing, but I'd like to find something of equivalent quality that GM might have installed in a stock '70 Corvette or Z-28 Camaro with an LT-1. I went to RockAuto to look for clutch kits and I saw them anywhere from $35 to $170. For brands like "Brute Power," "M-Pact," and "AMS Automotive." I have never heard of these brands. I usually prefer AC Delco to "keep my GM car all GM," but Rock didn't list them. Does anyone have recommendations for 11" clutch/pressure plate kits? |

I would go with the zoom clutch kits from summit racing.

It's been a long time since I have bought a clutch but Luk clutches used to be one of the best.

Speedway motors has some good prices on clutches. I was shopping for my Camaro and didn't pull the trigger yet but leaning toward saving money at Speedway.

Centerforce... period. Best clutches made.

Unless you do a lot of speed shifting and clutch slipping, I'd get a stock replacement kit, or maybe one step up. I say that because I once used a street/strip kit from RAM, but it took a lot of force to push in the pedal, and it was a little too "grabby" on release. |

I am going to need one in my 68 6 Cyl. I want a easy to push but reliable. The one in there now pressure plate going bad. Not sure what brand it is. Which AC Delco one would be best?
