my clutch is on the way out...

so i obviously need to see about replaceing it.

i wouldnt mind something a bit sportier, something that engages a bit quicker. i like the feel of a stronger clutch.

im running an old swinger box and the engine is a 1776 with mild cam.

what are my options and how much should i expect to pay?

im not looking to buy right now just scouting out prices but if u didnt mind findind out a price that would be great.

would be for a type 1 engine, 1776, mild cam running 34 pict solex at the moment but will have a progressive webber on it.

stock swingaxle tranny...porbobly a 1500 box.

i want something just a teeny bit sportier than stock.

Use a Kennedy 1700lb pressure plate, they sell for around $220-$250. (also called a stage 1)

ok the old man suggested the dakin kit which has the sachs disc for about $160 or so and could handle most of what you can throw at it with that motor. he also said that you dont want too heavy a clutch as you then will break the throwout forks and be putting cables in al the time. but make your own decision
