South Bend Clutch? New Input Shaft?
:ouch:was looking at upgrading my clutch to the big south bend clutch. and finally seen i also had to upgrade my input shaft on my 5sp to an added cost of 500 on top of the grand i was going to spend on the clutch. why didn't i see this before til i look at rollin smoke diesel? is this an option or should i re-think my build. cause spending a grand was something i was ok with, but add 500 more. i just want to run about 400hp, smoke some dumb mustangs. it's a street truck, i do pull. i guess if i run the stock replacment that can handle 360hp i really can't bitch, it gives me money to work on my other projects, after all this is my driver. i'm driving a 01 ram2500 cummins 5sp 4x4, stock for now, after the clutch i'm planning on quadzilla with the pulse box and dual exhuast, i'd run stacks but its a short box and i do use my bed sometimes. then later someday a small set of injectors, say stage II. thanx

While I'm not exactly an expert in the matter, I would highly suggest saving up the money to do things right the first time around. If not it could cost you much more in the long run. I have a '96 5 speed in need of a clutch, and I will for sure be putting in the upgraded shaft.
I have heard just too many horror stories over my years on the forums from people who didn't do the upgrade. My .02 mishkaya |
