[68/Camaro]

We changed the lakewood bellhousing to this SFI-approved Quicktime scattershield. The main benefit here is that its compact design takes up less space in our already crowded trans tunnel.



The new DYAD DS twin-disc Part # 04614842



Every DYAD DS clutch that ships from Centerforce comes with what they call a “birth certificate” specific to that unit. It gives all sorts of helpful data like compression depth, travel to release, average clamp load, and most importantly, the average torque holding capacity. In our case it’s 1,387 pounds.



Centerforce’s solution was to lighten up a steel flywheel. By removing weight from the outer edge, the flywheel gains much of the benefit found in an aluminum flywheel.....“The entire assembly weighs 45.8 pounds!



The DYAD DS is a ‘true sprung’ hub design with the main drive disc built from chromoly steel. The drive disc also has over an inch of spline engagement for stability and strength.



The floater then went on and was held in place by the three lugs on the flywheel. Centerforce marked both of these parts with machinist’s ink to let us know how to orientate them.



The floating disc is held by six drive pins rather than on the input shaft of the transmission. This meant aligning the clutch parts was a snap.



With all the discs in place, Tom could go ahead and install the pressure plate and secure it with the included high-strength fasteners.
