Currently, our turn around time is at least two weeks!

FAST STARTS BEGIN HERE!!! 

We don't just install new disks and call it "blueprinted". We have the equipment and skill to return your clutch to factory standards or better! Let  20 years experience in the machining and quality control fields  go to work for you.

What customers are saying about our clutch work:

"Hello, Jim we ran the Bully clutch you fixed for us. We started on the outside pole for the feature and we were leading at the 1st turn. The clutch did a heckuva of a job getting us going. That 1st lap was the key to him getting the win in the super heavy class. Thanks again for the good work."

THANKS, Richard & Corey Dixon

"Jim, thanks for your quick turn around on our clutch.  We have been
getting better starts and awesome top end speed ever since you rebuilt
our clutch!" 

Roger Brown, Jakester Racing

"Jim, i just wanted you to know that Tony said the clutch was AWESOME. We've tried about every clutch type out there but the Tomar that you built for us gives him what he wants. Quick Starts! He picked the wrong tires for qaulifying and started 12th out of 24 karts. He picked off 5 karts on the start."

Anthony Gifford, Florence, AL

Here's what we do: 

  • Fully inspect the clutch upon arrival. Provide you with an honest written estimate for all parts and labor before any work is done. No hidden costs. no surprises.
  • We true all the mating surfaces with precision tool room grinding equipment removing as little material as needed. This extends your clutch's usable life. High precision grinding equipment and processes are used giving much better results than the clutch's original production type machining at the manufacturer's facility.
  • Fully inspect all machine work for quality before assembly.  Post machining inspection work is done with high precision indicators, vee blocks, granite surface plates and other tools assuring your clutch is built with the ultimate in accuracy and precision.
  • Install new matched springs sets for your particular application.
  • Install new friction disks, floater disks, screws, etc. as needed.
  • Assemble clutch, set air gaps, set spring heights and set engagement RPM and a few other tricks.  
  • Ship the clutch back to you ready to bolt on along with a tip sheet on how to maintain your clutch for best performance and longest life. Most shipping is done via USPS Priority Mail 2-3 day delivery.

Only the highest quality OEM parts are used in building your clutch. No "special" (cheap, aftermarket ) parts are ever used. These don't work as well, won't last as long and only add more profit for the kart shops that use them. All removed / used parts are returned to you upon request. This will add a little additional shipping weight and cost. ONLY the parts needed to ensure maximum clutch performance are ever replaced.

What are you waiting on? Send your clutch to us today!

We grind all clutch mating surfaces on specialized toolroom grinding equipment and custom fixturing. The surface finishes we attain are better than the clutch manufacturers provides. However, we are also able to tighten the manufacturing tolerances up by a substantial amount. All our clutch mating surfaces are flat and parallel within .0003 ( less than half of one thousands of an inch) or they are reground to make them right. The surface finish we provide assures the best clutch performance and improved heat disapation.  

We were the first clutch builders to place pictures of their surface finishes and finished machine work on the internet. Others have now followed our lead. Let our updated photos tell the whole story. Our machine work, capabilities and quality are second to none.
