New Textralia clutch kit ordered - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well, I've done it, after researching the heck out of the Textralia OZ700 HD clutch, I have ordered one, hopefully coming next week. I know this thing is a beast and seems a bit overkill for my build at this point, but I toasted my stock clutch slipping the heck out of it trying to run the 1/4 on street tires. Most of the problem is me of course and I will surely have to relearn how to drive the car again after this new clutch goes in. Hopefully it will be the last clutch I install for quite awhile. There are several cars in the area that my tuner has installed these on and the are running around 430RWHP and report very good street manners. I know everyone has passionate opinions about clutches, but please feel free to list your experiences with this clutch if you want. I will post a review in a few weeks as to what I think about this clutch kit also. I am also in the process of separating the brake/clutch reservoirs and upgrading the fluid to dot4.

I put one of these in a fourth gen. It didn't last very long and was an on/off type clutch.

Guess I will have to find out for myself, the ones using this clutch around here are not reporting it to be an on/off clutch. It is a beast of a clutch so I can just about imagine it will be fairly aggressive on the street.

I'm not driving grandmas car so I am not looking for it to stay stock feeling anyways. I want a good hard launch at the track when I get the axles, rear end and DR's on.
