Anyone know torque rating on a standard OEM clutch?

<< < (2/3) > >>

PDT:
We have found that the clutch will begin to slip at around 335-340 ft/lb.

Just remember that clutch ratings and their limits arent just about the amount of torque, its about the amount of torque thats produced at a given RPM. If you hit peak torque of 300 ft/lb at 1800rpm its far more likely to kill a clutch than 350ft/lb at 3500 rpm.

A well developed map will take this into account.
