1985 Camaro 305 5 Speed slipping clutch suggestions I'm in Canada. Ebay ??

Hi guys my clutch started slipping. The car has basic bolt ons, holly carb, edelbrock intake manifold, headers, cats deleted, mild cam not sure which one.

My local parts store has a luk clutch but I want something more heavy duty? Any suggestions and links where to order it from?

Ebay has this one (clutch max stage 1 with flywheel) has anyone used them?

A stock type clutch will be more than enough until you do an engine swap, TBH.

Ebay parts are typically a losing gamble.

If you're set on getting something more than stock Mcleod has many options from "stock type" to track only and everything in between. I run a Mcleod in mine and love it.

Thanks I do race and a little bit of drifting so maybe a stage 1 or something a little more heavy duty than stock. Which McLeod would you recommend? Any specific website to order it from for Canada?

I’m running a McLeod super Street pro clutch pack. It’s stiff without being unbearable but still has good street manners. I’m pushing somewhere between 410-420 hp at the crank and it holds it just fine. Also running one of their flywheels (iron)

is there a Jegs or Summit Racing equivalent in Canada? I got mine from Jegs.

you can sometimes find sellers on eBay with them and I know eBay does not-terrible rates to Canada.

Yeah it should be, 26 spline, 10.5"

You'll need to get new fasteners to complete the install.

If you have the stock flywheel then I'd go ahead and replace that too, it's just an extra $100 or so but well worth it.

For fasteners (pressure plate bolts and flywheel bolts) I recommend ARP. They are pricey, but really in a league of their own. If you're going to spend a little extra then doing it on the parts that keep the giant spinning metal disc next to your ankles in place is a good spot to spend it haha.

I don't have part numbers but if you google it they'll come up. Just be sure you get the right flywheel bolts (if you choose to replace that). There are ones for a 2-piece rear main and a 1-piece rear main. The bolt shafts are the same but the heads are different sizes (due to one of those configurations having a tighter bolt circle).

86+ should be a 1 piece rear main, 82-85 you'll have to check (I THINK - don't quote me).
