The original price was $1400 on the full street and $1415 on semi street i believe.
I just changed the pricing today.
If you need individual replacement parts as well, let us know we have parts i stock for the Tiltons also...

Is the Full Street slipable and usable for daily driving or should I consider the JWT Flywheel/Clutch instead?

the Full Street clutch set up is easy to drive on the street...

The clutch pedal is still able to be modulated for smooth starts!

veeery interested... although i too heard that the tilton is very hard to drive daily.. i was thinking of just getting the jwt flywheel and keeping the stock clutch... why should i spend an extra $600 for something like this? and do you think you'll still have these in stock by the end of summer ? seriously interested!

Does the full street tilton clutch have a shorter life span than the average OEM clutch? I'm just kinda curious due to it's significantly low power handling threshold...

Aside from my first question as I'm worried about how many miles I can get out of the clutch. My stock OEM has 70,000 miles on it now with no signs of issues. It seems that people constrew either the fact that the Tilton full street clutch is indeed able to be driven on the street *without any issues and is slippable like stock, or it's rougher which promotes stalling; despite the fact it's the street version unlike it's significantly hasher semi-street cousin. Can this please be explained with your guyses experience w/ the full-street clutch. I'm looking at picking up this clutch from you guys in mid July if the price is still at 1k and if I can get good mileage out of the clutch and it can be street driven normally as this would go on my daily driven car.

the tilton is not slippable like stock. You can drive it daily, i drive it every day in traffic, bad traffic, and it's perfectly fine. I don't know about longevity versus stock, but i would assume that if you drive it easy, it would last. The full street actually has a very good power thresh-hold and will handle much more power than stock. THe numbers are jsut conservatie since it's designed to be a track clutch, not a drag racing clutch., if you want to drag race, the full street is not the one for you. I would in that case recomend the tilton carbon clutches as you can slip those. however i doubt any performance clutch when used the way it's designed or what it's designed for, will last 70k. A peformance clutch is just that, and can handle the abuse, and under that same abuse last longer than stock and handle the power better. but if you baby the car, there's no point in a performance clutch.....

Yes this is a fixed price until our inventory goes down. It's a big tilton sale in a sense.
