Question about the turbo 400 clutch kits
Does anyone know who makes these kits? The one that have the clutch hubs that use the full 400 disc. I would like to talk to him. If you do not want to post on forum, PM or email me. Thanks, Dan.

I have one in my '13 roadster. I bought the hub and disc's from Langs. Works good.

Re: Question about the turbo 400 clutch kits
Yes, I think that Don Lang was having them made. Last I heard the machinist that he was getting them from is no longer making them. Don't know if they went out of business or just quit making them. I don't think he has another machinist lined up as far as I know. I tried to order a set a couple of months ago, and this is what the status was at that time.

Re: Question about the turbo 400 clutch kits
When we did our transmission we bought new 400 turbo disc's from the local trany shop and fix them to the original drum by removing the unwanted material. This has worked perfectly for the last 10 years with no problems Cheers Colin

Re: Question about the turbo 400 clutch kits
I think I might have one of those disc drums in one of my scrap barrels. I’m hoping to take a trailer load of stuff to the scrapyard in the next couple weeks and if I happen to see it, I’ll put it up on the classifieds.

Re: Question about the turbo 400 clutch kits
I have made up several of these hybrid clutch drums over the years. They can be a real pain in the a$$ to make if you don’t have the right tools. I have a friend with a tranny shop that throws away all the stock cast iron drums no matter how good they are, and there seems to be a never ending supply of worn out T clutch hubs to sacrifice. A few metal chips, some careful placement, a little brazing, and presto!
