Re: Nurburgring AMX clutch wanted

That clutch and pressure plate is probably what it had. The car has a 304, so the SR4 is marginal. But that's what they ran at Nurburgring! I would think the trans was beefed up a bit. Nurburgring has altitude changes of almost 1,000 feet!! Lots of hills and turns, so there would have been lots of 3-4 shifts.
