How to：choose the right clutch for your driving style and usage

Clutch Types

There are two basic types of clutches — diaphragm and Long style.

Long Style

The Long Style three-finger clutch was original equipment in a lot of vintage applications. Because the three-finger clutch and pressure plate exert incredible amounts of pressure they also create tremendous amounts of clutch pedal effort. Back in the day a stiff clutch pedal was the norm, but not anymore. Clutch technology has since become such that you don’t have to put up with a stiff clutch pedal (or the resulting knee replacement surgery) anymore. We can’t think of any reason here at Modern Driveline why you should have to put up with a heavy-handed clutch pedal.

The Long Style clutch consists of:

ü?Pressure Plate Cover

ü?Pressure Plate or Head

ü?Fingers or Levers

ü?Fulcrum Pins

ü?Coil Springs

ü?Clutch Disc or Fric

The Long style three-finger clutch exerts brute pressure on the disc via a series of coil springs between the cover and plate. Spring pressure is the same regardless of engine rpm. Pedal effort is also the same regardless of engine speed. The Long Style clutch is an archaic design at best. It doesn’t make sense to use one anymore.

Diaphragm Style Clutches

Diaphragm style clutches, as the name implies, consist of a diaphragm spring that “oil cans” between engaged and disengaged. It is easy to depress yet it delivers whopping hold power. The advantage of a diaphragm clutch is greater clamping power than a conventional three-finger Long style clutch yet without high pedal effort. What’s more, as diaphragm clutch discs wear clamping power increases over the life of the clutch, which improves clutch performance. This is one of the great advantages of a diaphragm style clutch. Another advantage is pedal effort, which is considerably less than a Long style clutch.

Although there are a lot of diaphragm style clutches in the marketplace Modern Driveline brings you a better clutch and here’s why. Modern Driveline brings you greater selection with a complete line of clutches and flywheels from the most trusted names in the industry — Superior and McLeod. We enjoy an extraordinary relationship with Superior Clutch because each clutch is handcrafted for Modern Driveline. Each Superior clutch goes through rigorous testing throughout the manufacturing and quality assurance process resulting in high reliability and performance.
