Your average clutch kit is composed of just a few major components: a pressure plate that provides clamping force, a disc that provides a friction surface, and a release bearing which provides a ...

There are probably some die-hards out there who would like to stand me up in front of a firing squad for saying this, but if it weren't for today's emissions and fuel economy standards, today's ...

It used to be a 500hp street car was a big deal. Today, even a stock LS9 Corvette makes 648 net horsepower straight off the showroom floor, and a real 700hp (or more) hot rod is not uncommon. The rise ...

Automotive clutches have been in use for more than a century, including the Mustang for 50 years. When the Mustang was introduced in 1964, manual three-speed and four-speed models used crude ...

Differentials are what allow the wheels on a vehicle to actually move around effectively. Open differentials are common, but ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

Experiencing gear shifting issues or poor vehicle acceleration? The culprit might be your clutch plate—a small but critical component that significantly affects your vehicle's performance and safety.

A&A Manufacturing Company, Inc. North Haven, Conn. Continuous and intermittent slip clutches nd myriad uses, and engineers improve new motion control applications with them every day. How do they work ...

Most of us don't get to choose what kind of clutch sits between the crankshaft and the transmission – that decision has already been made on the factory floor. So whether your clutch is as wet as a ...

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...
