Hi, I own a 69' Chevelle and I want to upgrade my transmission to a D&D performance T-56 ix speed transmision. Not really getting any hepl from the Tech. Reps at D&D performance on clutch selection nor Im I getting much help from Mcleod either. I am running a 650 horse/675 torque 454 engine. Any sugestions? :confused:

many of us like the centerforce dualfriction set-up with an aluminum flywheel.
i've had mine for years and it holds up to alot of abuse........... :)

Hey Jacque I had my local speed/dyno shop have their guy handmake a clutch for me. It's a Kevlar/Organic combo and it's been doing fine. I have heard and read many bad reviews on Centerforce clutches but ti sounds like Vince likes his. Do you have a local speed shop or clutch shop that are experts. You can always have your made for your car. Mine cost $700 installed. That's with a turned flywheel. JMO.

I have a CF DF also, as does a buddy of mine with a 455 Buick - both have been problem free. I kicked my car's @ss as the strip with ET streets and the clutch performed flawlessly - didnt even make any smells.

For the price, you can't go wrong.

Never run a CF DF clutch but have heard great things and a lot of people run them and really like them (pedal feel, pressure, hold up well, etc)

Im a McLeod fan, myself. Always ran their clutches and will do so again when the time comes. I think with McLeod or Centerforce you will be very happy and have a stout set up.
