Angry Luk Cerametallic Clutch Blew Apart!

I have had rough shifts for the last week....thought my clutch master/slave was to blame. I got under the truck today & noticed pieces of springs hanging out the bellhousing. I can't believe the Luk only made 40k miles.

Sucks.

Looks like you had better start looking into a new clutch then.

Might try looking at South Bend this time.....

I talked to Peter today & he recommended a DD 3250 NV4500 1 1/4" spline. It is a new design & uses the stock 1 1/4" input shaft. He claims it feels like a stock pedal. It will be installed next week & I'll post results. Anyone running this clutch?
