Made in the USA!
Shelby
High Performance Clutches are manufactured by Ace Racing Clutches in Sullivan,
Missouri. They are the last true
American clutch manufacturer. These
clutches are engineered, machined, built, and tested under the same roof at Ace
to insure quality and performance.
Light-Weight Construction
Shelby
High Performance Clutches are made from light-weight forged aluminum. The cover is forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and
the flywheel is forged from 6065-T6 aluminum.
Weighing as little as 35 pounds, compared to the 50+ pounds of a stock
clutch, these clutches unlock potential horsepower that heavy, stamped steel
clutches consume. This light weight
construction also allows for faster revs, quicker acceleration, and easier rev
matching on down shifts.
Sprung Hub Discs
Most
performance clutches use a rigid center hub because they are limited on space
with a stamped steel design. Shelby High
Performance Clutches were engineered with drivability and longevity in
mind. They are designed with sprung hub
disc centers to reduce gear rattle, allow smooth engagement, and increase the
life of your transmission compared to rigid center hubs.
Proprietary Friction Material
Ace
houses its own friction materials department too, where they develop specific
blends to maximize drivability and torque holding capacity. No other clutch domestic clutch company makes
their own friction materials. This
allows Ace to fine tune the friction to each clutch line and its intended
use. Ace tests their friction on their
in-house dyno to ensure performance.
Patented Centrifugal-Assist Levers
Shelby
High Performance Clutches contain Ace’s patented Centrifugal-Assist lever
technology. This technology was born
from Ace’s 6.25” NHRA Pro Stock clutch. This
technology allows each clutch to have more torque holding capacity without
increasing the driver’s pedal effort.
Ace has tuned this line of High Performance Shelby Clutches to have 15%
more torque holding capacity at peak torque RPM. How it works is pure physics! Illustrated in the image below, as the engine
RPM increases the levers are forced outward.
The lever pivots and applies direct pressure to the pressure plate.
How POWERFORCE Technology Works!
These clutches use centrifugal force to increase plate load as the engine increases RPM. As the engine speeds up, the patented lever assist technology pushes down on the pressure plate increasing the torque capacity by 15% or more. As the engine spins, forces are exerted outward: the same way spinning in a circle causes a person's arms to rise from their side. The levers experience the same force and the outer edge of the lever pulls away from the clutch as the engine RPM increases.
This puts a more efficient and positive load on the pressure plate, unlike other systems that place weights on the diaphragms that will deflect. The patented lever assist technology, combined with Ace's superior friction materials makes it a logical choice for any Shelby or Mustang owner.
