converting to a 5 speed trans need help picking a clutch
 
bought the truck last summer with a supposed rebuilt trans and it went out in january. im getting a 5 speed to put in and need to get new clutch for it. when i got the truck i was told it had 90 hp delivery valves and injectors a 24 valve turbo and a adjustable fuel plate half forward i dont know what kind of hp im running i drove a buddies truck that has 400hp on dyno and mine doesnt seem to have as much power. i dont want to spend $1,000 on a clutch what do you guys think? the trans im getting is out of a 98 12 valve.

Singles are a waste of money.

well ive looked at alot out there i dont do alot of pulling when i do i pull a skid steer total pulling wieght about 9000 lbs. you think a single will hold up to that. and like i said im not gunna add anymore hp although i dont even know what i have now i just know it is alittle more than stock.

if that's all your using it for, a stock single disk will do just fine

farleytc 02-20-2011 08:56 PM

even with it being over stock hp you think a stock sigle will be good and it will last a while.

I have a south bend single disk rated at 475 hp and like it pretty good. I jumps a little when you have to ride the clutch but itsd great. I drove a friends that had a dual disk and should have spent the extra couple hundred and gotten the dual disk. Just my 2 cents.
