Can the 08 clutch be used on the earlier cars?

[99 R/T 10]

Is it true that the 08/09 clutch set up is superior to the 92-2006 setup? I would think that the twin disk would hold a lot more power. I saw this ad and it got me thinking:

eBay Motors: DODGE VIPER TWIN DISC CLUTCH UPGRADE 2008 UPGRADE OEM (item 390029253791 end time Mar-07-09 19:53:58 PST)


Can the twin disk setup just bolt up to the older cars and work the same? It's hard for me to believe this hasn't been discussed, but I did not find anything on a search.

That says 03 to 06. Can it be used on the Gen II cars?

You would need to install the the 08-09 transmission in order to install the OEM twin disc.

even on the 03-06 cars?

That's what this ia design for, 03-06

No you do not. It will work just fine.

to me it seems the 06 clucth took more harder driving than the 08 clucth disc

According to the new mopar performance catalog the OEM clutch can only be installied with the new transmission.

"P5155122 Clutch Conversion kit, Converts a 2005-2006 viper to a 2008 dual disc, requires P5155123 (2008 transmission)

Is this information correct? Or is this not an OEM clutch.
