    Hi All
    Just would like to know what clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing is best for a stock 350 4 speed GS, also the best place to get a new flywheel, just looking to see what everyone is using and getting good results with?
    Don't plan on hammering on it but looking for quality. thanx for your help, sully627@gmail.com

    TA Performance has flywheels. As for a clutch in my old car I had the Centerforce dual friction. New car going with the DFX when I swap motors. All depends are how you intend to drive it.

    I would source a decent stock replacement clutch if you have no plans for the drag strip and sticky tires.

    Also there is no need to replace the flywheel unless it has some major defect. Any decent machine shop can resurface it for about $100.

    Curious (nothing to do w/clutch) what year is your car?

    Agree on stock diaphragm pressure plate and single friction disc.

    They clamp well, lighter pedal and less likely to chatter and be "grabby".

    Depending on flywheel surface area, you can get up to 11" disc.

    Curious how the DFX works out.

    A McLeod streetpro clutch would make nice stock replacement.

    It won’t be a smooth engaging clutch, but that’s not the characteristic I was looking for. Hopefully this time next year the transplant will be underway. It’s been a long time waiting.

    Yes it has. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it runs. I have awhile to make the clutch decision on mine - Had a Centerforce in my last one but also a bellhousing misalignment (Lakewood Steel Blowproof) that was causing a slight chatter when releasing & destroyed it. Can't remember what I replaced it with. Going to replace the stock flywheel w/one from TA as I don't want to run the steel bellhousing again but do want to run it a bit at the track.

    I’m using these to center my bell housing. You may want to give these a try. 0BAAFA1E-B4E8-47FC-8E46-F4C061EF4B22.jpeg

    Yup. I'll be checking the factory bellhousing next time after all I went through w/the last one.

    I like the Centerforce clutches. Brother has one in his Camaro. I had one in my Regal for a couple hundred miles. I still have it but don’t have the car anymore. I really liked it
