Default Clutch

Well I was finally about to get time to drop the transmission in my truck. As I figured the center of the Hub broke. Everything looked good so the clutch couldn't have to many miles on it. In the next few days it will be getting a new Valair.

I just finished breaking my valair in. Grabby when compared to the stocker that I had thrown in 10k miles ago.

Just towed a little uhaul ramp trailer and buell home, about 3 hours trip and it did fine with that little load. Noisy at idle, transfers a lot of the engine vibrations to the transmission causing some rattling.

Which clutch did you go with? I put a Full Ceramic in my 01 6spd Cummins and it was super grabby. I went with an Organic one in my Ford so it would be smooth.

It's the higher power option organic disk. The vender listed it as 450hp, but the same part number is on valair's site and states 400hp. It's grabby, but not too bad as there's a couple of times in reverse I haven't slipped it just right and or gave it the right amount of throttle causing the truck to hop. Probably more me than the clutch.
