Clutch Disc

I need a new clutch disc (11''). My auto parts store says no can do so unless I find a new one I am looking at sending my old one off for new friction material. The company in my region that did this sort of work for years recently closed its doors so I am looking for either a new replacement or a recommendation of a good reliable company I can send my old disc off to to get rebuilt.

Re: Clutch Disc

I've used this place for almost 30 years, mainly re-lining clutch plates for obscure British race and sportscars. Reliable and trustworthy. My only issue is that at some point, the makers of the lining must have switched to metric and then rounded up or down to list things as imperial. Linings tend to run a little thick and while .020" extra thickness sounds innocent, run that through the lever ratios involved to get back to the pedal and you can run out of ability to adjust the clutch pedal height. Never an issue with quality.

Re: Clutch Disc

I used Ft. Wayne the last time I have a clutch disk relined, they did quality work for me.

If they are still in business, Surge Clutch in S Holland, IL
Address: 16145 Vincennes Ave, South Holland, IL
Very knowledgeable, made a custom clutch for my semi when heavy hauling. Took them a Peugeot Diesel disk (not the most common disk you'll find), and when I placed on the counter, before I could say what it was from, they I''d it and had one in stock!

Re: Clutch Disc

Ditto on FT. Wayne clutch 7 drive line. They redid my clutch and was reasonable and quick very good guys.
I also recommend Lincoln Clutch & Brake in Lincoln, NE. Had rear brakes shoes relined and will be sending fronts and e-brake to them here shortly.
