South Bend Clutch.

If you look around on here you will see what is available and what they think of each product. South Bend Clutch is what is most recomended.

The valair clutch is what Southbend sells as they're stock replacement clutch, also most other parts stores that i've found. Peter was able to get me the best price though.

Just ordered a new Sach's which is the OEM replacement. Ordered from Peter at Southbend. Make sure you deal with Peter when you call there. I had to deal with him cause someone else there told me they didn't have what I wanted. Clutch alone was $150.00. Best deal I found. A clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing and bronze input bushing also comes in a kit for $475.00. Add flywheel for around $600.00 total. I had my flywheel and pressure plate cut down. Good luck.

The Sach's is good for a lot of power ( 300-350 hp) I like them.

What are your goals hp/tq wise? And do you tow, pull, drag or just play around?

The Sachs are a good all around clutch. Holds great! I had pulled with it 3 times at the local fair and it had 160,xxx miles that included pulling livestock up until about 2 years ago.
