Default Stock Eliminator Clutch ?

What kind of clutch are you guys using in your stick shifted cars ? Just bought an Jerico dr4 and needs a clutch for that.

Thanks

The guys who are not spending a large amount of money are running a McLeod Soft-Lock. We ran one a couple of years back, it was easily adjusted and trouble free, not to mention pretty forgiving.

Advanced Clutches has more S/SS cars with the records and probably rounds (not taking into account the McLeod unit has been around longer). The Advanced 10" Sportsman Clutch unit is cheaper that the 10.5" Soft-Lok according to McLeods website and Advanced provides full consultation services which is priceless in my book.

Note: I am not advertising or affiliated with Advanced. I have run both McLeod & Advanced and am speaking from experience while adding to the conversation.

Simon,
Call Scott Helms and get a McLeod soft lock. The price is cheaper than the one listed on McLeods website through Scott or Jegs.
Get it set up in a couple runs and run the crap out of it!
We had 200 runs on the one in my car before I took it out for a freshen up at the end of last year. It was deadly consistent, forgiving and only had to adjust if needed after 25-30 runs.

Just wondering, how much do you guys slip the clutch. Are you able to slip it in all the gear changes, plus slip it a little off the line?. Can you set that close to where it slips a little in the all the gear changes. Do you dead hook the tire on the start, but slip the clutch?

It depends on the car/motor combination. High horsepower cars slip the clutch to keep from spinning the tires, while lower horsepower cars slip the clutch to keep from pulling the motor down below peak torque. In both cases, it's faster and it's a lot easier on parts.

I always thought the stick cars wanted to spin the tire a little on the start and slip it in the gears. I thought that is what the pro stock cars do, slip the tire on the start a little. I think the converter cars don't want to slip the tire at all. I just would like to know how easy that is to get the clutch to slip the right amount when you start and when you shift gears. If they can do it.
