I was using my stock clutch with an E brake pulling heavy loads and the center of my clucth broke out. The thing is if it broke while pulling it would have slipped. the only thing I can figure is the pressure of having the e-brake working on it under heavy loads so becareful! I put in a TST 13 in. 1000 ft/pound clutch hopefully it will hold?

 

That is an odd one. In over five years of being on these forums, that is the first time I have heard that.

And it's difficult to live without an e brake, once you have towed with them.

Good luck with your new clutch!

 

It's not the E brake, just pulling with the stock clutch, real weak disk center on them.

 

sure it was the stock clutch? there are some aftermarket clutches out there that use plastic on parts of the hub. didn't believe it till i saw it but they're out there.

 

The stock clutch does, that is the problem...

 

nooooooo!!! don't tell me things like that, even if their true. man, i couldn't believe it when they tried to sell my father in law a plastic clutch for his chevy. now i'm told i have one. that's grounds for another beer.

 

There is no plastic in this stock clutch. I'm sure pulling had something to do with it. I have a PM2 I've had it for about 4 years in the cold weather it slips? It's done it since I bought the PM2 but when I looked at the clutch pad it still looked good. I've been driving a couple of days with the tst clutch it has a real light pedal but it's alittle jumpy taking off. I'm trying to be very easy for the first 500 miles or so. I thought since I have all this new clutch I sent back my PM2 and had them reflash it as a PM3 w/remote. We'll see how good the clutch is? Thanks guys for the feedback!
