It doesn't have to have any clutch material left on it..I need one so I can get one relined with Kevlar. If I go and buy a new one I will hate to have the OEM material removed to put Kevlar on it. Any leads?

Thanks

I heard good things about fort wayne clutch in fort wayne indiana. I know someone who had them do the kevlar clutch on it. It came back within a week. They resurfaced the flywheel, the pressure plate and installed a new spring in the pressure plate all for about 450 bucks.

The other option is Clutchmasters in California... or call Sean at Hi Tech Exotic Racing. 1-888-456-0437. He use to have new clutch kits that also reduce pedal pressure by about 25 pounds... have not spoken to him lately so don't have any current info.

Good to have you back Frank

I'm going to do my 95' Diablo clutch but not sure what to do?
I have 3 options :
1-Clutchmasters with Kevlar for $750.

2-Spec st2 Kevlar (resurfacing and st2 clutch upgrade) starts at $399. (includes clamp load upgrade, too).

3-Spec st3plus, which is a full-faced carbon sm disc..Starts at $549.

I talked to Spec about the carbon and they said they did not have any problems with it?

any suggestion?

Yes, but I'm going to send my clutch to them and they will do it for me.

I really don't have any experience on aftermarket clutches because I'm running stock OEM and it's just fine.

I've heard 2 people complain about Carbon. It will create "dust" as it wears and gather on a timing or speed sensor located on the flywheel... forget which it is. Anyway, when the sensor gets dust on it, the pick up will not read and you will have a running issue. Forgot who it was, but his car started to run like a dog. He went through the entire motor, electronics, fuel, ignition, etc etc and nothing helped. Finally when the pulled the trans they noticed the dust. He put in a stock clutch and the car ran fine.

I have not heard of any failures with Kevlar, but if Seans clutch can reduce pedal pressure, it may be worth it.

I agree with Frank.
I have Sean's kevlar clutches in both of my Diablos.I have a single kevlar disc in my 92 and Triple Kevlar Disc in my 96 Roadster which gets rid of the clutch rod breakage problems which is inherent with all the stock clutches on 95.5 Diablos and later.I have never ever had a problem with his clutches.One of Sean's customers has 20-25k miles on his kevlar clutch and he doesn't need a clutch yet and he does a lot of city driving(a lot of stop & go).
The pedal pressure on my 92 is about 30% softer and about 80% softer on my Roadster which is great for my knees.

But this does not mean all Kevlar clutches are the same just because it is kevlar.You have good quality Kevlar and low quality kevlar.Just like leather in a Lamborghini versus leather in a Toyota camry.Just because it's leather doesn't mean it's a high quality leather.

The kevlar clutches from these companies that put it on Japanese cars are built mostly to handle 400HP with low torque under 4000 RPM but Diablos have more than 500HP and a lot of torque under 4k RPM.

Did you know clutchmasters doesn't give you new Throw out bearing.They use your old bearing.One owner put their clutch in his diablo and the throw out bearing went bad.Guess what he had to pay again to pull the engine out.Another owner had their clutch put in his Diablo and the clutch had a failure.The lining came apart and damaged other parts inside the bellhousing.
So at the end of the day,you get what you pay for.You could get your clutch from someone who specializes in Lamborghinis or you could get it from someone who works on Toyotas.

I've had Sean's kevlar clutch for about 4 years and have had no problem whatsoever and when I need a clutch again ,I'm going to put his clutch in agin.

Sorry for the long post.
