The Tilton Ultra clutch assemblies are a direct replacement, and upgrade, for the Quarter Master Optimum clutch and are Tilton's lightest 5.5" metallic racing clutches. Featuring a rigid clutch cover that resists deflection, with hardened steel thrust buttons installed into the legs, the 5.5" Ultra clutches provide the optimum combination of durability and high performance for a clutch of this type.
Supplied complete with a button flywheel and 1 5/32" x 26 spline driven plates they are available for popular US V8 engine installations using rear mount starters and they accept either Tilton or Quarter Master 99-tooth or 110-tooth clutch cover mounted ring gears. Please select the appropriate engine application from the drop down list. A link to the cover mount ring gears can be found below.
In common with the rest of the Tilton range of clutches they benefit from Tilton's longer finger diaphragm design which allows them to be used with smaller contact diamter release bearings to reduce the pedal effort required to release and improves the modulation to facilitate better and more consistant starts.
Please Note: The Tilton Ultra Range of 5 1/2" clutches are of a 6 bolt rather than the more common 8 bolt fitment for clutches of this size. They are therefore only suitable for use with the supplied button flywheel of other flywheels of this fitment type.
