There are probably some die-hards out there who would like to stand me up in front of a firing squad for saying this, but if it weren't for today's emissions and fuel economy standards, today's ...

BorgWarner has announced it produces its latest multi-segment friction plate technology for all six clutch positions in Ford’s new 10-speed automatic transmission. Launched in the 2017 F-150 Raptor ...

Ford has used "'open" diffs, Detroit Lockers, and several types of clutch-type limited-slip ('posi') units. Tom favors a properly prepared posi for most street/strip applications. The best Ford ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

You know that two surfaces mate, but what is a friction clutch or brake? Using friction has been the most popular way to engage and stop loads since the 1800s. Surfaces interact with ...

Your average clutch kit is composed of just a few major components: a pressure plate that provides clamping force, a disc that provides a friction surface, and a release bearing which provides a ...
