Any clutch expert can tell you how difficult it is to accurately catalog clutches. Hundreds of new applications have been introduced during the past several years. Clutches are often assigned different O.E. numbers because they’ve undergone slight cosmetic changes, come from different suppliers, or are used in different models. As a result, reliable clutch catalogs have become a rare and invaluable tool. The introduction of the latest AMS Automotive catalog changes all that. Compare for yourself and you’ll notice the difference! That’s because we focus on three basic goals when we create a catalog.
 

 

First, we pride ourselves on being sticklers for accuracy because many installation problems are the result of catalogs containing incorrect listings. At first glance, other catalogs may appear to be accurate, but beyond popular applications, the mistakes become obvious. That problem is eliminated with AMS because we conduct our own primary research based on information provided by the various car and truck manufacturers. This information is then verified with in-vehicle testing, ensuring an added degree of accuracy. Furthermore, we don’t over consolidate using lower grade substitutions that offer only marginal cost reductions. Instead, we rely on the same O.E. technology geared toward the specific requirements of even the most demanding vehicles and driving styles (See Ford Mustang).

Second, to ensure that our customers are viewed as clutch specialists, we offer comprehensive coverage on all applications, ranging from Acura to Yugo. No other clutch catalog offers the coverage of AMS and you can take that to the bank, literally! With listings on 1028 kits, 709 hydraulics, 100 new no-core flywheels, 68 clutch forks and 34 clutch cables, lost sales due to inadequate coverage are virtually eliminated with AMS. Our coverage extends from many overlooked older applications right up to the newest vehicles on the road today. What’s more, because we value substance over symbolism, if it’s listed in the catalog, it’s available.

Third, although an explosion of SKU’s has made cataloging more challenging, AMS cataloging is user friendly. We’ve made our application section simple and convenient to use by inserting detailed model listings (See Toyota Corolla) that logically sort otherwise confusing data. Any additional relevant information is listed near the corresponding application (See 5.9L Dodge truck). As an added convenience, we’ve included tri-lingual warranty details, a tri-lingual explanation of available kit options, along with technical bulletins and product spotlights.

The introduction of the latest AMS catalog ensures that all components are the proper match by combining AMS clutch kits and hydraulics together with new no-core flywheels. Keep in mind that AMS continues cataloging exchange flywheels remanufactured by Standard Flywheels, Inc. for applications in which we don’t supply a new flywheel. As a rule, ALL Standard Flywheel part numbers are 3 or 4 digits.  ALL AMS new no-core flywheel part numbers begin with a 167 prefix and are 6 digits.

Another important aspect of AMS coverage is our line of authentic heavy-duty and high-performance options called Series Upgrade (SR) Kits (See GMC medium truck). Designed to resolve problems inherent with certain vehicles, these units offer a proven solution to high failure rates caused by using standard-duty components. 

Furthermore, in order to address the growing import market, we’ve created Select Engineered (SE) Kits that provide content-sensitive professional technicians with identical O.E.M. or O.E.S. fit, form, and function. The SE Kit program leads the industry in terms of O.E.M./O.E.S. coverage, accounting for nearly two-thirds of total import clutch sales.

By taking just a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the accuracy, breadth, and ease-of use of our catalog, we’re confident that you’ll soon understand what an important tool AMS cataloging can be for anyone selling new clutch systems.
