Enthusiasts with manual transmissions might know whether their clutch release mechanism is operated by a cable or a hydraulic bearing. But if it’s the latter it’s unlikely they could tell you ...

Single-disc clutch systems, as the name implies, use one disc. This type of clutch reigned for decades, and it had to hold up to some of the most powerful engines ever made. So when clutch ...

As an example, by doubling the clutch surface area with the same coefficient of friction, a single-disc clutch that can hold 500 lb-ft can now reliably hold 1,000 lb-ft. Centerforce has come up ...

Once an engine’s torque output crests the 650 lb-ft mark, single-disc clutches simply reach their limit and need additional stiffening, more aggressive friction materials, more clamp load ...
