So I just got my monster stage 3 for christmas and was tlking to family members that are into classic muscle cars and they said I'm going to need a scatter shield. Is this true? Everyone on here I don't really see any of them get them when they order a clutch

Depends on what you mean by "need" it?

Is it needed to install the clutch properly? NO

Is it required by the NHRA if you start running slicks? YES

Is it a nice piece of saftey equipement? YES

Do you like your feet? YES

Not busting nuts, just saying that it depends on what you plan to do with the car. If you are going to hit the dragstrip with sticky tires pretty often, then I'd invest in one. If you are simply replacing the clutch and don't really drive the car hard, then a scattershield might be overkill. Some dragstrip tech inspectors will look/ask for it, and others won't but either way a clutch letting go ain't pretty and tear up lots of stuff.

I run a McCleod unit in my car. When I installed it years ago there weren't many options. It required a little bit of grinding to make it fit properly, but nothing major. I think Quick Time Performance now offers one that is much closer to a true bolt-on.

If you do decide to run one, make sure you run the block plate. Lots of guys don't run the block plate and only run the "can", the block plate is just as important in containing the clutch in the event of a failure.

Good luck.

this is what happens when you dont have a scattershield...the driver nearly lost his own foot and the leg of a bystander.

really the only Modifications needed to run a Quick Time bell with the block saver(the only way) is that you need to grind very little on the lower part of the oil pan. Its really no big deal, and you will see very easy what I mean when you go to put the block saver on, and that it wont sit flat till you grind. again nothing major.

I like my feet, and I beat the **** out of my car, so it was a no brainer for me.

lol, after seeing that vid, I will be making adjustments in my budget for a SC. As stated above, McCleod and QTP makes them, but what about the Lakewood unit?

Damn it as soon as I read the title I thought of this video. But decided to look through before I posted. But ya... If your building a track monster, 10 sec street car, like your toes, like your feet... Then sure I would buy one
