Default Introducing; Monster Clutch Co.

Hey guys,

I'd like to introduce you to our clutch line for the LSx motors! We just recently got all of this together after spending some money on R and D and we are very excited to offer you both an affordable clutch, and a good warranty to go with it!

Check out our website: www.monsterclutches.com


Just a little background on what we've done:

Please don't mistake these units for "truck" pressure plates. We did use the standard truck pressure plate shells but the diaphragm springs, etc. are definetly NOT the same! That mixed with our different disc materials and billet steel SFI certified flywheels make for some fantastic clutch packages that are reliable, complete, cost effective, and offer a great warranty! Every clutch we offer has been tested in both controlled environments and on the street/track, the ratings we say are a direct result of money spent to test these so you don't get stuck with the bill!

If any of you guys have any questions about our products just give me a shout! We released these initially in the GTO market and are rapidly expanding to every other LS based vehicle in the industry. Don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for references for other consumers, we understand that we are a new company and we want you to make an educated purchase on your next clutch!

Thanks again for your time and we hope to hear from you guys soon,

Steve Addison
SNL Performance/Monster Clutch Co.

P.S. If we can get enough interest we will be having a group buy for this community to help "kick off" our intro to you for our product, just in time for the holidays!

Nice to see another option out there.
I read your site, this is impressive;

"We are so confident in our product that we back it with an industry leading 12 month warranty! No other clutch company can come close, no other clutch company can boast what we can, abuse their clutches like we can, and still have them functioning for the consumer that drive their Monsters daily. We do, because we can."

Nice to see someone step up like that!
Good luck in the new endeavor.

Always good to see another clutch option out there, especially at the rate LSX users tend to go through them. Good luck with the sales!

Thanks a ton guys!

We stand behind what we sell 100%!

We are more than likely going to do a GP here to help kick off our product (similar to what we did for the GTO community). We are very proud or our products and I believe that our investment will greatly benefit you guys as the end user.

If anyone has any questions on anything we sell, let us know!

You can't beat him!!!!

No shim required, that's a bandage for an improper design.

I'm not worried about Spec... we'll just keep it at that.

There are no hydrolock problems as the diaphragm springs were designed to be used up to 8k rpms. They are made out of a material that doesn't break down under extreme heat causing the ever-so-popular limp pedal.

And as far as the pricing... we're not expensive. Pay attention to what you are getting with those prices...

Basic Level 3 (direct competition to Spec 3(+), Tex's OZ700, Ram Powergrip HD) is priced at $729.99, this includes the following:
  • H.D. Pressure plate
  • 6 puck cerametallic disc
  • Stock weight SFI certified billet steel flywheel
  • New pilot bearing (or bushing, your choice)
  • New release bearing

Our Premium Package has all of the above plus a brand new OEM master cylinder and it's $799.99!

When you compare us to the competition we are cheaper, have a better warranty, and are here in the states and have outstanding customer service! Plus we have 4 dealers and 1 distributor and our network is growing larger by the day!

Bottom line: We've spent a ton of money to develop a clutch that will do what it says, how it says, period.

LOL, they shift fine and all of our clutches have been tested in both controlled environments and on the street... I don't need anymore testers.
