They used multi disk clutches before they had mgmt. The flywheel/clutch stand is bolted to the crank. The flywheel has stands that come off it it. The "floaters" have notches on the outside that fit around the stands on the flywheel. As the crank turns, the floaters turn, (4,5,6 disk set-up it does not matter) the floaters all turn at the same time, at the same speed as eachother. The clutch disks have teeth on the inside of them, that fit in the groves of the input shaft. The clutch disks all rotate together as well. As the crank turns the floaters turn, and the friction between the floaters and the clutch disks them makes the disks turn, which makes the input shaft turn, and that's what makes the car move. The difference in the speed of the floaters to the speed of the disks is "clutch slip". Or Engine RPM to driveshaft RPM.

So is it the same clutch in a top alcohol or pro-mod car with different discs, I assume? Still have base adjustment and then "bolts" on the counter levers?

First off I need to spell pedal right. P-E-D-A-L.

The clutch is the exact same clutch found in any other top fuel or funny car out there. The way it is applied is just a little different.
