Default Re: Ok....just curious...Clutchflites....

A buddy of mine used to run a B&M ClutchFlite in his 340 powered 70 Duster. It was formally in a local A/GS 33 Willys with a 392 Hemi. With the sintered iron clutch disc, it was very abrupt, and hard on rearends. As mentioned, getting everything correctly aligned was a royal pain. He eventually sold the ClutchFlite, in favor of a normal 727 Torqueflite with a torque convertor. I think the original attraction of the ClutchFlite faded with the later advent of 4500+ stall speed convertors, and trans brakes.
