We do not recommend inexperienced technicians install these units, that said, if you get stuck or are not sure about something STOP IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT US! Ignoring things or getting something wrong during the installation can be very costly in the end and is not covered under our warranty – when in doubt ASK!
- ON ALL SC, R, AND RR MULTI-DISC UNITS – DO NOT - FOR ANY REASON - REMOVE THE BOLTS ATTACHING THE UPPER FLOATER PLATE TO THE PRESSURE PLATE. DOING SO WILL RENDER THE CLUTCH USELESS AND WILL CAUSE A SEVERE IMBALANCE, IF YOU’VE DONE THIS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE CLUTCH, CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!
- DO NOT USE ARP hardware with our multi-disc units, using ARP flywheel bolts with this unit will cause immediate damage and failure as it will interfere with the lower disc. We’ve included modified GM flywheel bolts with your clutch, there is no need to use anything else.
- Use Red Loctite on the six (6) pressure plate bolts.
- DO NOT LUBRICATE THE PILOT BEARING OR INPUT SHAFT
- YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST MEASURE YOUR SETUP TO ENSURE THINGS ARE AS THEY SHOULD BE. There are multiple tolerances at play (bell housing, transmission case, clutch assembly, crankshaft flange, and engine block) that can be off one way or another, by measuring you ensure that your entire setup, not just the clutch, is correct and within tolerance. IF YOU FAIL TO DO THIS YOU CAN/WILL DAMAGE THE CLUTCH SETUP WHICH WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. See our FAQ page for information on how to measure and what tolerances you should see (under “Does my clutch need a shim”).
- Quick Time/aftermarket bellhousings will almost always need some sort of a shim – their tolerances are quite a bit different than OEM and vary from part to part.
- Never attempt to measure the setup with a tape measure, you must always use a set of calipers – whether they are digital or not does not matter, as long as you can read them. If you contact us with measurements, they must be to the .001” or we cannot help you.
- All Monster Clutch Co. multi-disc units are put through multiple tests prior to leaving our facility. We go through great lengths to ensure you’re getting a clutch that is 100% ready to install when it arrives. In short, when it leaves here it is a perfectly working/functioning clutch – if something is amiss during installation or break in it is your (installer/consumer) responsibility to contact us prior to continued installation/usage. Any damages that occur from an improperly installed clutch are not covered under our warranty.
- Make sure that all friction mating surfaces are clean. Spray brake cleaner on a rag and wipe the surfaces down to get all of the packing oils, etc. off of the surfaces. This is important as fluid contamination is the #1 reason for chatter as well as friction failure and is NOT covered under our warranty.
