Machining a stock clutch cover for lock-up clutch

[gotta_goatsfast]

I'm just curious, would it be economical to have my stock clutch cover sent out to be machined so that it will work with a lock-up clutch? Is there a place anyone recommends? I'll need a lock-up clutch for my build, and I have a stock cover that I would like to do something with whether it be sent out and worked on or use it as a core extange for a little bit of money off??? Let me know what your opinions and thoughts are about this. Thanks!

Methyman, I seen that searching on Ebay. Seems to be a good deal to me. I really don't need a polished show piece as it will get the shit kicked out of it racing and trails and such.

 

I really want the quick change cover just for the ease of tuning a lock-up clutch without having to pull the entire cover off. Thanks guys.

Throw the factory clutch cover in with the beer cans and recycle it. Then get a Direct Drive new cast cover.

not a bad price to run a matton lockup-, but i like my dd lock-up and cover, even if i get it all nasty in the woods and mud......just hand polished it real quick last month.....

Why not just use an undercover slingshot. I use Vito's version. Works like a champ. Takes like 5 min to modify it once it's over. Basiclly you just grind/file down the three little nipples behind where the clutch cover insert screws screw into. Then you put some lock tight. Done.

Wow! $255 for a Mattoon Machine lock up and a custom machined cover. That is a pretty good deal. Personally I run the slingshot from Driveline and it really doesn't need to be constantly adjusted if you read the directions real well. It helps you make a very solid determination as to where and how many weights to use from the get go so you really wont need to keep "tuning" the lock up.
