The 3600 is not designed to be a daily driver although some do use it that way....It is a bit grabbier by nature and can be difficult to handle if you tow a lot. The 3250 is on the other hand designed to be a comfortable clutch to handle and capable of holding a great deal of power.

If you need to find some one in Canada to purchase from, send me a PM and I will steer you to a great guy that will do you right I send all my Canadian customers to him because paying International freight on a clutch just isn't something I wish to put on my customers, if I can help it.

In all honesty the Southbend con OFE clutch will hold up just fine for what mods you have done.

Thats a great clutch, have one in my 12v. Drives like stock, but takes a beating. Just ordered another one for my tranny conversion. I hear the new ones are quieter than the older ones.

previous owner of my truck installed a SB clutch to handle a couple mods but couldn't remember the model...any way to tell short of pulling it so I know what kind of headroom I'm working with?

well i hope the break in wasnt too crucial, the chip went back to extreme tune about mile 44 and i hooked onto the cattle trailer around mile 60. been on extreme ever since. got over 1000 miles on it and lovin it. still cant hit reverse very good though. gotta throw it in another gear first before it wants to go in. bad synchros?

Shifting Problems

I am having similar problems going into reverse. I have a 2000 Quad w/6speed still with the stock clutch. Is there some sort of linkage adjustment that can be made?
