I wanted to do this as a poll, but please respond or PM me with which clutch you have.

I'm researching right now trying to decide which clutch I want to get at the first of the year. I'm really only leaning towards the SBC Street DD or the EEP because I haven't heard much about the McLeoud Dual disk, but I'm open to all suggestions and info.

Thanks.

 

If I'm correct, the McLeoud is a pull only clutch or something like that. It is very grabby and probably not good for towing. I could be wrong but I think that's what I heard about it a long time ago.

 

I have the double disk puller clutch from SBC. It is hooking great and is very street friendly. It is the smoothest clutch and NO RATTLES!! ;D You can look here www.southbendclutch.com or call them at 1-800-988-4345 ask for Peter.

I've run both the McLeod street twin disk and now the EEP. The McLeod is not recommended for sled pulling but can take a few a year if not abused (redline launches, long slips, etc).

 

IF I HAD A manual, I would get the SBC DD, and then EEP would be a close second.

I have a South Bend DD....No problems!!! My recommendation is a South Bend Clutch, excellent reputation, excellent customer service, innovator, and has kept up with our power clutch needs. ;D ;D

But you don't so sush.

 

I like SBC and EEP the only thing I have against the4 SBC is it is unproven and it says they don't back it so If I blow it its my $$ well with a EEP clutch I have trust in it. Not saying the SBC is a bad clutch and If schied or mitchel put one in their truck for a year and it held then I would feel the same way about the SBC as the EEP but thats just my few cents wort

I agree with Aaron here...and the whole reason that I posted this is because Aaron and I are trying to figure out which DD clutch we want.

I too feel that the SBC DD hasn't been out long enough to prove itself, but then again I know JR is running one, Dodgeboy59 is running one, and Justin Rawlings is running one.??? However Dave Mitchell put like 60 or 70 pulls on the EEP DD he had to "replace" last year didn't he?

What it all comes down to is...Aaron and I are both running about the same power levels 400HP/900TQ, I haul occasionally (no more than 13-14K usually), Aaron hauls for his farm ALL the time, and we both would like to pull in the street class sled pulls occasionally and still have a clutch to drive home on.

I only get to attend maybe 3 or 4 pulls a year, but I would like the option of hooking once or twice without killing my clutch. That and for the $$$ these cluthes cost I want this to be the LAST clutch I put in!!

With all that being said........MORE INFO PLEASE! ;D

 

I hear what your saying about the SBC-DD not being on the market for too long, and that REALLY has to play a part. Peter however I think has done his homework, and is letting some high hp guys run the clutch. Not as high as DaveM, but you mentioned some already, and Doug from ADT is another. Might want to give him a call as I think he has had both.

I don't think you can beat the reputation that the EEP clutch has behind it though. And if your counting votes, count one for the EEP for Sleddy since he can't vote here. :P

You wanna run 400 ponies and 900 trq and nothing's ever supposed to break? ??? That's almost funny.

Abusing vehicles is fun, but be pepared to pay for it. :-[
