Recommendations wanted for new clutch and flywheel for 461 in 65 GTO.
Help! I need to buy a new clutch and flywheel for my 65 GTO 461. My current setup (American Powertrain) is full of hot spots causing chatter. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Any thoughts on an aluminum flywheel? Thank you.

How much are you is that motor pumping out? Running a McLeod super street in a couple different cars at the moment and have been very pleased with them. Pedal isn’t trying to kill my knee and has no problem with shifting at higher rpm. The prw flywheel (pdx I think) sits a little further out apparently and I had to shim the bell housing a touch. Not a big issue here but I know it will be for some. I guess this is a semi know thing as I have stumbled on others that had the issue. Didn’t effect the starter however so who knows…… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My clutch and steel flywheel came from Autozone.
Holds fine, no slip or chatter, plenty of burnouts but no races. 464, 6x-4's, RA IVish cam, 3.73 posi. Used a Sachs clutch on my 400. bought from ebay. no problems. Not a recommendation; just sayin. |

The next one up from them is street extreme good for 700 vs 550 of the super pro. If you drive aggressively or like to race I’d look at a twin disc however.
Not sure how heavy the pressure plate is vs the lesser one but I have always been a fan of there clutches in something that makes power price is usually better than the center force. Looking to swap to there rtx whenever I get around to a new transmission and hitting the track again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mcleod RXT dual disc. held up very well when i was running 11s.. Next step up is RXT 1200 HD that I'm using now to hold up to mid 10s so far.

Steve did you have any noise issues with your RXT twin disc? Running the same in my 64 and the odd time I get what sounds like a release brg noise, but putting into neutral and letting clutch out and stepping on it again, the noise is gone. Kinda weird. Almost thinking the disc is hitting floater plate and chattering causing some noise? Has Hydraulic release system in it. Mcleod. This is mostly street driven.

Bob, no I have not noticed on either clutch and the first one was mechanical, HD1200 i have hydraulic system from Bowler. Only time i had noise was when on the first one I broke the snout off the trans where the release bearing rides. That was immediate shut down and pull.
