What do you need to know?

"Stages" are just made up ways clutch manufactures classify clamping forces, and clutch styles.

I'm sure a clutch like this would be fine for your application:

LSD stands for limited slip differental, avalible in viscous and clutch-type designs dependant on manufacturer. (1 way, 1.5 way, and 2 way are all classifications based on various cam grooves.)

Kazz, Cusco, or Quaiffe are the only I would go with.

For more in depth information on LSDs check out this link:

^ woah, thanx for the cool info,

i wld be right to say that the higher the numbers go, the more torque they can handle.

Well, no application rite now, just trying to read up and read up and read up.

oh, is there like a this thing whereby the clutch shd exceed a certain % of how much torque the engine is pushing out..

well, i dun know if i've put it in a way that u will understand...

If you make sure the clutch can handle more torque than your engine can put out, you should be fine. It's always nice reassurance to get more than you need, but not by too much; ie. don't go and get a sintered iron disc because Brandon said "to get more than you need."
