X2 Southbend is the only way to go.

I'm sorry I shortened up "times too" meaning I agree. Although I've had several south bend clutches all have been the OFE except one it was an FE if I would have bought it first I wouldn't have had any of the other ones. The customer service is second to none.

x2, means i second that, or twice, or two times... you get the point.

get a south bend by all means. if you arent going to go nuts with the power, an ofe is perfectly streetable, smooth, and handles more power than it is rated for.

the fe is streetable, just a bit jerky when engaging, make backing a trailer interesting. the ofe is smooth in all of my driving situations. it is holding programmer/module stack, turbo, and bigger tires. if you have the funds, get the sprung hub double disc and never worry about capacity again.
but the ofe is a great clutch

Man I'm batting 1000 I once again was unclear. "SORRY" I loved the FE it is still in service if I would have had the FE first I would have only had it and not the others. The FE or the DD is the way to go unless you just like taking your clutch in and out. I'm going to have to put a clutch on my 07 soon and I will go with a Dual Disc from Southbend. I could use less but I only want to do it once.

How hard would they be to install? My 6er is slipping after 25,000 of "playing".
Would it be best to drop the tranny and just take it to the shop?

If you have the tools, do it yourself and save a few bucks.
