Clutch
Is it possible to instal a clutch for a nv5600 into a nv4500 if you have the bigger input shaft? I came across a double disc south bend out of an 05 that the guy installed it but didn't like how grabby it was. I generally don't even like the idea of putting a used clutch in my truck even though it's only slightly used. But I saw the price and curiousity struck so I figured I'd ask. And this is the first place I came to when I saw it so I haven't even research it. Thanks for any help!

While talking about clutches, I NEED a new clutch. I am running a smarty intake and exhaust, and pull/haul heavy loads a lot. What is the best clutch for me. I am not wild about south bends because of how grabby/ unstreetable they are. Any ideas? Sorry for barging in on someone elses trend.

I just installed my first south bend dd 3250 and it works great. It is a little grabby and hard to back up trailers, but once you get used to it you are fine. It took about 10 hours and as Luke said you are going to need the flywheel, spacer and hyd upgrade. It wasn't too bad to install although I have the G56 though.
It looks like it is just four bolts and a seal to install the input shaft kit. You'll have to do that to install the clutch so I hope he includes it. Make sure it is not warn too much along with the clutch disks, flywheel and pressure plate and you should be good to go. I got mine from some dude on cl for $800 and it was brand new in the box...
Whatever you guys decide to do remember to take your time tightening the pressure plate bolts because if not it will chatter even more than they already do and it will lead to more problems. Good luck!

That is not a bad price. Call him and take a look at it. If he knows you are serious then he might work with you. I'd just say the input shaft is going to cost me $400 and I could get a brand new one for $1300. What is the best you can do for me? That is not a lot of miles for one of these so give it a chance.

Sorry guys I hadn't had a chance to update. I went and looked at the clutch last Friday and I bought it. He was pretty stiff on the price but I got it for $575. The flywheel still has most of the factory machining on the face and the clutch discs look good. Thanks for the help and the little push. Now I just have to get the spacer, hyd upgrade, and input shaft (deciding on standard or billet) and itll be good to go.
