Clutch upgrades, any dodge cummins
 
Are there clutch kits/clutch master cyl upgrades that would help make it easier to disengage/engage the clutch for those who are back pain sufferers?

I am kinda concerned that using the clutch day in day out my back would hurt more. I'm looking to purchase a dodge cummins, but dont want to shoot myself in the foot if I got one that has a manual transmission and end up regretting the purchase because of my back issues.

I had a bulging disc that made it very painfull to depress the clutch pedal . I dont know of any that make it easier, just harder . I put a piece of plywood between my mattress and boxspring and it helped my back, just a bit of degeneration very low on the spine, almost between the hips . I know what you are going thru . If you drive easy with low rpm's you can do most of your shifting without the clutch . Takes a bit of practice, but you can master it

both valair and southbend make hd hydros. they make them to make their heavy duty clutches feel normal. i would assume they make the stock clutch very easy!

the only time i use my clutch is to start from a dead stop. upshift and downshift without it and i just leave it in neutral at stoplights or if ive gotta sit stopped for any reason
