What material?


If its an ofe or Fe it would be a decent driver the fe will be a little more grabby though.

I have the 350hp 13" ofe its pretty grabby. I've got about 50k on it now, Its not as aggressive engagement as it was new but it still engages firm.

500Hp 13" clutch should be a Con-FE

I heard they engage rough but you can throw anything at them as long as you ain't pullin' . I know wannadiesel has one
