Stripped teeth on clutch plate
New here so hello!
The rear clutch disk of my ACT clutch stripped out all of its teeth and possibly damaged my prop shaft.
Current build dynoed at 737whp and 655wtq but probably makes a bit more now that its running correctly.
-For one. I think I need a new prop shaft since I am under the impression that ANY loss in diameter of the splines is unacceptable even if its just a tiny bit (Barely visible). Gm wants over 400$ for one. It looks like AMP makes a replacement for 01-04 models. Any way for me to verify that I truly have the 01+ shaft before dropping 250 bones on this thing? https://ampdistributing.com/products...be-input-shaft Or do you guys have any suggestions? I can take measurements if you think I dont need one.
-For two. Need a new clutch that is streetable
Option 1. 1200$ or whatever a rebuild costs. Another ACT twin disk https://www.advancedclutch.com/produ...-kit-t1s-g01-2
I like this because it drove very nice. Its also organic which from what I read is the most streetable. I dont like this because it probably ruined my prop shaft and is ruined after 6,000 miles. Little to no noise. Never slipped or caused me any issues until the end. It comes with the flywheel and everything as one balanced set as far as I can tell. Rated for around 800hp. I doubt its rebuildable but their website makes it seem unlikely.
Option 2. 1700$ Tick McLeod rxt twin. https://www.tickperformance.com/tick...-corvette-z06/
The non organic material makes me nervous for street driving but it looks like there are tons of reviews saying its great on the street AND the track. I love the fact that it is fully rebuildable so I dont need to buy it twice. I guess the RST is an option but the power handling seems questionable in this case. Some sellers sell it without all of the tick goodies for 1300$ so thats an option.
Option 3. 2050$ Tick Monster LT1-S Triple disk. https://www.tickperformance.com/tick-monster-complete-clutch-swap-package-97-04-corvette-z06/
The price makes me sick to my stomach. They rate their other non organic clutches as not very streetable. But yet the McLeod is non organic and is streetable supposedly. This thing is supposed to be the king of the street and the strip. Love that it is rebuildable so i am only buying it once.
But seriously if you guys have any suggestions I would appreciate it. Trying not to go into debt too far so I can afford a rear differential and trans this winter.
