Clutch lets go two weeks before VA 1/2 mile shootout

Needless to say I am bummed. Probably should have been expecting it though since I have enough mods to question the use of the stock clutch.

I am scrambling to get a hold of an upgrade kit, but my major question is; Is there a write-up anywhere? The DIY section is suspiciously missing one. I know it is not an easy task, but with a lift and tools I have at least a slim chance of still making the 1/2 mile shootout.

Does anyone have any info on this? And a lead on a reasonably priced aftermarket clutch? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

What are your mods and what is your future modding plans?


That would help in determining your clutch needs




I would say regardless, spend the extra and get the ERP Triple over the standard "upgraded" Sachs as it is in world of difference worth of performance, but not a world different in price.

I have a used ERP 3x that I would be willing to overnight at no charge of you want it. It's listed on the parts for sale area.

PM me if interested. It's a great clutch for your event! You may want to do the slave at the same time.

Thanks for the all the support and offers for clutches from everyone!

I have settled on a Sach's "stage 3" clutch that should be here on Friday. Unfortunately I have no access to a lift for the next few weeks and shops want anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 in labor alone to tackle the project.

Unless anyone on here has access to a lift in VA, looks like I will unfortunately still miss the race.

If you would like to pretend to be me and race in my absence, send me a PM.
