I believe the older, greater than 25 years ago clutch disks had a material that contained a good percentage of asbestos. Brake linings were made of the same material. It has only been in the last few years that combinations of materials have been developed that give the same wear and heat resistance that asbestos did. Today most medium priced clutches/brake linings are made of a semi-metalic compound. This produces the rust colored dust that you see on the front wheels of vehicles and inside the bell housing. High end linings as found in race cars are made of a carbon compound.

As someone else stated that a wooven full disk clutch is preferred for a loader tractor and a paddle clutch for other applications.
