When reverse is geared too high, it can be hard on the clutch. I have no idea why they would do that, but they do.

I can't speak from current experience. Co-driver (DW) has been dealing with a weak left knee for years. If it isn't automatic, she can't drive it.

When I was choosing a clutch for my truck I called South Bend and told them my plans for use and power upgrades in my truck and asked for their recommendation. They were great to talk to and recommended a 13125-OFEK for my needs (not more than 350hp, 3.54's, not much taller than stock tires, and occasionally towing 5k camper or 10-12k car trailer.)
As for low gear I use 2wd Low range because I have a twin stick!
