anyone know of a reputable place?
would rather give business to a local before shipping off to someone out of state
google just brings up regular service shops.
TIA

Re: clutch rebuilder
You don't rebuild clutches anymore. That was something people did a long time ago. Now it's cheaper,smarter, and easier to buy a new one. Buy a whole kit and replace the flywheel bearing(if it has one) and the throwout bearing.

Re: clutch rebuilder
it's a 97 Saab 900se with torque capabilities in the neighborhood of or above 500lbs.ft (need a clutch to find out when i finish tuning)
only options when it comes to clutch kits are from SPEC and clutchnet
were having issues with SPEC discs
and clutchnet is a hit or miss on their kits
SPEC does have a twin disc setup, but it is not a direct fit (need a custom throwout bearing by them) thats over $1600

Re: clutch rebuilder
Are you looking to get a custom clutch? I don't understand why you need a rebuilder if you only have a single plate, so I'm assuming you're looking for someone to build something special...

Re: clutch rebuilder
Interesting thought: Tilton (among other companies) makes a 7.25 cerametallic twin disc clutch, and they make a 25mm-14 spline disc. That's not much different than the stock flywheel most likely (7.25 discs are 185mm) so some quick machine work to get the flywheel drilled and stepped would likely be all that's needed.
