ok, it's almost gone.

I've stopped driving the Viper because it slips way too much.

Fitzgerald is quoting me around $1500.00, which I do not have due to moving, etc.

Where can I find a "good" clutch for now to get me through? Anyone know about LUK clutches?


hate being poor white trash...

Just found a Centerforce setup for $500

I've used their products before in my old Nova (drag) without issues. Any feedback on this one?

eBay - LUK OEM clutchs - complete with pressure plate and throwout bearing. Sell all day long for $210 - shipping included.

Search on Viper Clutch.

I did, but I don't know anything about that brand. That's the problem...

I just ordered 2. $205 delivered. It's the stock clutch, as LUK is the OEM manufacturer. I'd then consider having a transmission person put it in - they should be more reasonable than the dealer.

Hope this gets you back on the road quickly (and inexpensively)

 

[-RUNNR]

No shit? OEM eh? In that case, I'll order one of the kits now.

The LUK clutch is EXACTLY the same as the stock mopar.

Awesome!

Now, where did I put that "How to disect a Viper" book...

LUK is fine for stock Viper. The LUK replacement clutches don't last like the originals. If you run slicks at the drags don't bother with a replacement stock clutch because they don't last. My last two were gone in one year and I only go to a couple drag dates a year.

I'm trying a Spec Clutch this time.

A new clutch installed should only run about $700.

Considering my original clutch, in a stock Viper, has only lasted 15,500 miles I guess a LUK can't be too bad.

I put the LUK clutch in mine...

Works great for my stock purposes...

Has anyone ever gotten a LUK that came with the correct alignment tool??? Mine did not, which was not biggie, but I can see it being a pain in the ass if you weren't aware of this up front...


Don may need to borrow one...

Hey Dan,
How do you like the ailumnum over the stock? I am getting ready to replace mine and have an aluminum ready to go in, but don't want to make a 6 hour mistake.

The aluminum fw is money if you roadrace.

 

[dansauto]

did not notice any real differance. Big differance if the carbon pad clutch thought. It grabs alot quicker
