Thanks Mike. I had no idea about the steels.

Someday Id love to hear your thoughts on two-sided vs one sided clutches....how they compare and what applications both are better designed for.

So far all the OEMs have dropped them because of failure. Single sided clutches are very thin ( .050-.065 ). This does not help heat dissapation. It spreads the load pretty well. They are said to be better in general.
Problem with the Alli is they have no lube slots and oil needs to get to them and lubricate them. This does not happen with the Alli.

what turbo ? if its stock turbo the "ML" would be a good choice , if its a larger turbo the "sled Puller 2300"( depending on turbo size of course) may be what I would go with, until more info is given but pretty much no way around it a phone to who your ordering from with a lot of info is needed to spec a converter 100% .

Well you'll have a LLY coming your way sooner than later then. The harsh shifts and stuff are getting a bit annoying. Just let me know when and how much.:D

Earlier in this tread Mike mentioned sealing rings that prevented the rotating assembly from wearing rapidly. Does anyone know a part number or where to purchase these?
