I have some mixed reviews on my Southbend SS-TZ Clutch. It had been working great for the last 4 months until last Friday night at the track. It started slipping really bad in 3rd and 4th gears. I think it is because I had 3 drag passes in 1/2 an hour. I am using the stock flywheel. I have read that I can deglaze the clutch by breaking it in again for 1000 miles. Has anyone experienced this before? Hopefully that works or I'll be doing my auto swap early...
Anyway, here's my info...
Specific model used
---Pressure plate type:
-->SS Series
---Disk type:
-->TZ series - Kevlar
*Specific model flywheel used
--> Stock
*Duration of usage AND mileage on clutch
4 months, 4000 miles
*Power levels and Drag ET's/MPH if available
362 awhp, 353 tq
12.12 @ 117.71 mph
*Usage Type
-->Street/Strip
*Short personal evaluation of the clutch you chose
-->Would you buy the same one again?
Probably not because I'm always wanting more power to go faster
-->Would you choose a different pressure plate next time (higher or lower clamp force)?
no, the pressure is great
-->Would you choose a different clutch disk friction material next time?
Yes, to handle more power
