What the hell do they make clutches out of?

That stuff itches like hell...

probably something you don't want on your skin how did the clutch install go?

 

[narzy]

depends on the brand I suppose...but if it itches like hell its prolly fiberglass.

I think that it's basically the same as brake pad material. I know that clutches used to contain asbestos. Hope you didn't breathe too much of it in.

I don't think fiberglass is strong enough for a clutch, asbestos is much more likely.

I haven't put the new one in yet, I was jsut cleaning all the crap out of the bellhousing.

some have kevlar in them

Its usually an organic material. Not sure what. HiPo clutches are usually some combination of carbon/kevlar.
