I am replacing the original clutch on a 97 zl 440 and i bought a clutch from a mechanic i know that is the newer style clutch from my old one. He said it would line up perfectly and run fine, but then another mechanic i know said that since its the nine point clutch it will eat up the belt so i will need to buy a new style belt. he also sauid that the weights may be way off and cause it to rev too high....which mechanic is right here? I put the 48.5 weights in it, those are what the sled calls for

if the weights and spring are the same as stock you should have no problem.

that is exactly what i was thinking. I dont know how it would rev higher if its the same weights

yeah, it shouldnt make a difference. when i put the new style clutch on my 700 i didnt change anything and its fine.

however, since the new clutch is a lighter design it may allow the engine to rev quicker. as if you have a lighter flywheel on it. so you may gain some throttle response.

hmmm that would be nice. but it wont make it rev too high right?
