I daily drive a 3850 without any complaints. I have a friend with one that is almost always towing something, agian no complaints.
It does take some getting used to. I will admit I hated it and started thinking it may have been a mistake on the first few drives. Shifts were a little difficult and the pedal was stiff, but now it feels great and I struggle driving trucks with single disk clutches.

I wont sit in traffic with my 3250... just sucks the life out of my left knee... Tows like a dream though!

I don't think my 3850 is bad at all, but I've heard many that think the 3250 is bad. I thought the 3250 was a piece of cake. Everyone has different perceptions.

I have been daily driving the 3850 for almost two years now. It definitely takes some getting used to, and is a little tough on the left knee in stop and go traffic, but I won't complain as it has never slipped and tows beautifully.

iam not to worried about the pedal pressure b/c the clutch i have in there now is really stiff any one who drives it says it hard but iam used to it now. how bad does the floater plate rattle when clutch not ingauged?

It's loud, but not unbearably so. I do have a fluidampr harmonic balancer though and I was told that helps calm things down a bit.

Yes its loud, not too loud but enough that you can hear it over the engine at idle with the windows down.

I've actually been told quite a few times that my throwout bearing is toast by some "helpful" folks

Well, if you are going to sled pull you really, really need a DD clutch. It will be fine pulling a trailer with and daly driving, BUT when I detuned my truck and quit thrashing it. And started working with it in stead of on it. I pulled my 3600 DD out and traded it for a OFE. It's alot better for a daly driving, but if your going to play you will have to go DD. P.S. have another ride to work the day after a pull (just in case).
