Does anyone know if the aftermarket clutches rattle, or is this just common for all clutches
|
My 05 chatters like crazy at low rpm. My friend has a south bend and it is pretty qiet
|
I may look into getting a SB
|
ya i hear they are the best in the biz
|
your clutch is prob commin apart. i had this prob once. and thats what it was.

Which trans does your '05 have? That was the year when Dodge transitioned from the cast-iron NV-5600 to the aluminum G-56. My NV-5600 has growled since I bought in new... even with the South Bend Con O FE.
In the NV-5600, the noise is just the spring-loaded hub in the clutch disc and totally normal. Can't speak for the G-56 as I've never driven one, but I can say that they use a dual-mass flywheel and have a different clutch design. I'm guessing they also would have a spring loaded hub and would therefore also growl, but don't hold me to that. |
its the flywheel i hate those dual mass pos
|
The rattle is called "critical power moment"...the guts of the trans and the clutch are vibrating back and forth because its lugging. My 04.5 did it the day I drove it off the lot at zero miles...I got nearly 200k out of the OE clutch.
I currently have a Southbend OFe, and it rattles but I don't care knowing it will hold better. |
I had an 05 dually with the cast iron G-56 that did the same thing, I changed the oil to the synthetic 50w that eaton uses in semi transmissions and it took care of 98% of the noise. I put around 100,000 mi on it towing as heavy as 35,000 gross and never had a problem. This oil is a little thick when cold and causes a little stiff shifting until warm,
Good Luck!! |
