Post subject:  Clutch advice.

Well, I got the usual one year out of my clutch before it wore out. 73 dodge dart sport /6 with 9.25? clutch. This is the engine I asked advice and eventually bought some valves from dutra for.
Still purring like a kitten :) Does anyone have any advice to upgrade the friction area so i get some more time between clutch discs? I need a cost effective solution if possible. I have been getting remanufactured discs from orileys (spelling) each year for about 25 bux. I'm getting tired of pulling out my heavier than stock full sychro 3 speed ( I replaced the original partial synchro 3 speed) every year. :(
Oh, and its trailer pulling and in town (houston rush hour) driving that's causing accelerated clutch wear.

Try calling Mcleod (www.mcleodind.com) for a strong disc or any HD clutch parts.
