Sam's New Street Clutch

[Plan B]

With the increasing desire for the very tractable 500 fwhp packages coming out of Sam’s lately. Tom, has been busy designing a daily driver clutch solution. This one fits the bill quite nicely.

It has an organic or rag type clutch plate with a larger surface area than standard. The pressure plate also has an increased clamping force over the standard unit. This style of clutch has the ability to roll off from the line with-out clutch shudder and careful selection of revs (just like standard), yet it has the grip to harness all that power in some seriously heavy cars.

Best part, for Forum Members;

Flywheel, Clutch & Pressure Plate complete for only______$946.00

I reckon it would be perfect for pulling your boat out. It's real smooth and controllable to use. Peddle pressure is slightly firmer but hardly noticeable. The action feels much like a standard new unit, ie; it doesn’t just bite an inch from the floor and you have plenty of range for slippage prior to full clamp. On the boat ramp…. Just what you need if you have a traction problem.

Sure you can R&D it..... You may have to join the que though, 7 have been sold since last Thursday. ;)

Pete what's the cost for r&r ???

Or is the price stated above fitted lol.

[alto]

Does anyone know how this clutch compares to the Starr product or even the one that Street Tuna fitted to his SS? - driveability, price etc.

[Craig]

Driveability is perfect and very traffic friendly in terms of rolling off the line etc.. And it isn't very heavy

$275 including GST. Although it's cheaper to do whilst the engine is out. ;)

This clutch is awesome....no slipping, no too heavy and works a treat both in traffic or when your giving it heaps.

[HRT.2FAST]

is the flywheel an aftermarket jobbie

[Dane]

Pete ... sounds a treat. :thumbsup:

Can not imagine a better testing ride than yours for the responce and durablity of the clutch. On the next clutch for me, should be finding more info out. :beer:

Seems the pwr levels are going through the roof in the LS1's, thus the importance to these type of developements. :cheers:

[Redline]

Pete, is Sam still doing these clutch packages??

Can you email me the pics that you had in the first post of the clutch package compared to the stock one....the pics don't seem to work anymore.

Is it an aftermarket flywheel or a stock one that has been machined??

Cheers

Mat

Thanks Craig. The pics got lost in the website move thing I think.

Yep, as far as I know Mat, this system is still a happening thing. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. There are other packages available with lighter fly wheels and different clutch plates/pressure plates etc. All the guys are back with a few more on Monday the 19th Jan, so you’re best off talking to Tom directly on this thing. It’s his puppy.

[brock05]

some of you guys must have had this clutch in for a while now, how have you found them over time.

[CarlFST60L]

I think i seen it when i was down there last time... the price was allot more though... would like to see the pic's so i can tell if its the same one.

[Craig]

some of you guys must have had this clutch in for a while now, how have you found them over time.Im not sure if they still have this clutch available but mine is still great after prob 20000k's and a fair bit of punishment.

[Plan B]

Still the same.... When your on a good thing..... There are other plates that go with these for higher HP applications, best talk to Tom at Sam's about it all.

Cheers!

[brock05]

thanks Craig and B I will give Tom a call tomorrow.

[Chris5.7ltr]

Hate to drag up a old thread but is this deal still on?

I'm about to put my M6 into my VX and thought I may as well get one of these clutch plates while im at it.

Is it a exchange base's?

That was easy.... I just copy and paste.... :)

Still the same Chris..... Very good things... Good for street and track.

[Short-Shift]

400rwhp, country driven, odd track runs (but want to be able to lean on it). Your suggestions B and round about cost if not this setup ?

Pm if you like

Cheers

[Chris5.7ltr]

[SSbaby]

That's great value! A credit to Sams for looking after us average LS1 folk.
:cheers:

[Chris5.7ltr]

I need to pick one of these up maybe tommorrow,does Sam still have these around??
Price still the same?

Also whats the chances of Sam loaning me his powerstear puller,once the box is fitted (with one of his clutches) I'll be putting my blower on and sending my car to him to get it tuned and manual program put in.
