It means it's a good clutch, now depending on quality control at the manufacturer as to operational problems and longevity, according to the more informed members here the throw out bearing is the wild card, my Veleo clutch is still in the box.
I "think" thats the fork I ordered/used in my 83 project.. I was surprised at the difference in the metal thickness used in its construction over my stock 83 clutch fork.. Twice as thick.........fork with a steel frpp one (bearing retainer)
Sorry about the vague response... I was referring to the frpp steel input shaft bearing retainer, not the fork. I did use OEM ball pivot stud and TO bearing fork though... And they are quality pieces.I "think" thats the fork I ordered/used in my 83 project.. I was surprised at the difference in the metal thickness used in its construction over my stock 83 clutch fork..

Yes, exactly... That's exactly why I bought new Ford OEM TO and pilot bearings and used those and not the ones in the AutoZone kit, which when viewed side by side the OEM bearings are clearly higher quality.I got my King Cobra kit on eBay. It has a Valeo pressure plate and disc, but I also highly recommend not using the T/O or pilot bearings. Already had to replace the T/O with a Timken. This thing started squawking at me immediately after I put it in. It was all lubed properly, it was just a junk bearing.
If I didn't mention it prior, I went with the AutoZone kit, but again, used Ford OEM throw out and pilot bearings, based on recommendations of members here. I'm glad I took their advice.so whats a good clutch for a stock car? any go-to brands?
Thanks.. I didn't even know autozone had their own clutch.If I didn't mention it prior, I went with the AutoZone kit, but again, used Ford OEM throw out and pilot bearings, based on recommendations of members here. I'm glad I took their advice.
The AutoZone clutch disc and pressure plate are doing well, no issues and have a nice light pedal pressure. The kit pieces are also lifetime warranty and were reasonably priced. For a stock engine car, I recommend them.
