Great Clutch Options for 1992-2014 Vipers.

[Dan Cragin]

I have learned a lot over the last 20 years working with Viper clutches and with the help of clutch guru Lyle Larson, I have developed some really nice clutch options with McLeod Racing. We now have dual disc clutches for all generations of Viper's 1992-2104.

These are not racing clutches, but can certainly hold up to race use and depending on how we have them built, can handle up to 2000hp. My main goal working with McLeod on this was to create a clutch with a light pedal, smooth engagement, quiet operation and a affordable price point . All our clutches come complete with the flywheel (light flywheel options available).

All of our clutches are built to order, specifically for your application. These are not "off the shelf " McLeod units, but specially built for SPT with two different types of friction materials depending on your torque load. The disc hubs are sprung with excellent release qualities, floaters are double strapped for high torque load on acceleration, deceleration and quiet operation. ARP hardware is used.
We have tested the heck out of these at the drag strip, road course and drift courses. They can take a tremendous amount of abuse with perfect repeatability.

Our Gen 4-5 Dual disc diaphragm clutch is a pretty slick unit, its modular, so the flywheel is built in. It just bolts to your flywheel, so no need for a new flywheel. It weighs the same as the stock clutch so there are no issues with check engine lights. We wanted a better offering than the production Sach's dual disc, which will not hold up under hard use and has had issues with floater straps breaking. Our standard clutch is rated at 750ftpds torque and is a great stock replacement. Our extreme version is rated for 950ftpds torque and is great for those forced induction and drag race applications.

Our Gen 1-3 dual disc diaphram options come with a complete flywheel and ring gear (light flywheel option available). Standard and Extreme options are also available.

For the SRT Ram folks, we offer the same choices with an additional hydraulic upgrade kit.

Gen 1-3 Borg and Beck.JPG

For those who have over 1000hp, we still offer the tried and true Borg and Beck dual disc clutch. It has a heavy pedal, but it's the only clutch we have ever been able to put behind a 2000hp drag Viper without a hiccup.

If you want a clutch with a light pedal, smooth engagement, no rattle and can take whatever you want to put to it, then we have an offering for you.
Pricing:

All clutch prices include flywheel.

Gen 4-5 Standard (modular flywheel) $1190.00
Gen 4-5 Extreme (modular flywheel) $1600.00
Gen 1-3 Standard w flywheel $1400.00
Gen 1-3 Extreme w flywheel $1600.00
Gen 1-3 BB Extreme 2000hp w flywheel $2100.00

Clutches are built to order and usually ship in two days.

Cool. Thank you for sharing that.

Wow. Some good choices here. I think a lighter flywheel and stronger clutch is a good fit for my ACR

Dan - What are the clutch / lightweight flywheel options for the Gen IV? Cost, weight savings, and drivability comments appreciated.

[FLATOUT]

Interesting. I'll need a replacement before too long glad to see another option.

[Dan Cragin]

Our clutch for the Gen IV is modular and has the flywheel built in. It bolts to your flywheel. There is no change in weight as a lighter setup will trigger a check engine light for misfire on the 08-14 models. It comes with 2 differing friction materials, depending on your power level.

The pedal effort is very soft, engagement is smooth and operation is quiet. Its will take much more abuse than the production Sachs clutch.

We developed it initially for the ACRX but it was such a good street clutch we ended up using it for that.

I can give you referals of several clients who have used it.

I know I'm digging up an old post, but some of us now have the ability to completely disable misfire monitoring (I know HPTuners can do it, pretty sure the Arrow update to the Mopar PCM does the same). Would a lightweight flywheel be an option that would be easy to add?

[Dan Cragin]

Our Gen 4-5 Performance clutch is modular (includes friction surface) and bolts onto your exsisting flywheel.

Gen 4's could use our clutch with the Gen 5 light flywheel or a even lighter flywheel could be made. The clutch itself cannot be made lighter.

I would be interested in a new clutch with a lighter flywheel for my Gen IV, something similar or better than stock Gen V.
