I am getting close to needing a new clutch, probably during winter when im not @ school. I am going to get either the valair or southbend non sfi DD. My question is... Are there good and bad 1-3/8 input shafts? I found one on a website the other day (gotta remember the site) for 400 for the entire shaft upgrade kit... seemed a bit cheap...

 

Id spend the extra change and make sure you get a good quality input shaft. We have a couple of options to choose from so give me a call sometime and we can discuss this.

I figured you would chime in luke Now I just have to get a credit card

 

why do you want a non sfi clutch?

and if you buy a clutch from southbend that needs the biggers input shaft they will cut you a deal on one...its still expensive but everything is.

I thought 01 and newer dodges had the 6 spd manual transmission

 

You can still find a few 5spd's.

 

"I thought 01 and newer dodges had the 6 spd manual transmission"

I think mine is pretty rare seeing how it is a 1-ton dually 5spd... I think the 5spd shifts a little nicer than the 6 for a daily driver, and it has the S.O. pump

 

For the clutch, get you either a 3250 (which i do not believe is SFI rated, not sure on that) or a 3650 from southbend. call them, ask to speak with peter. I was looking into switching to valair because of trying to save a 150 bucks here and there but the customer service at southbend brought me back for a 2nd and then a 3rd time and is worth the extra time. Plus they will custom build you a clutch, thats what i had them do with my DD. cost me the same as one they normally keep in stock. Go with southbend, you wont regret it.

 

Valair has this same great customer service well actually its better. Atleast ive been treated better @ Valair.
