From Southbend 3250# to 3600#, didn't expect this?

I had a little problem with my 3250 DD not releasing fully & causing my tranny to grind 2nd gear. Peter sent me a new clutch out & upgraded my pressure plate to 3600# 12cb at my request. When I drove the truck, much to my surprise, the pedal feels exactly like the 3250#. Really smooth engaging & not grabby like my brothers 3600#. Maybe it is just a new design? Not sure, but me likey alot! Anyone else running a new 3600# 12cb?

I would like to thank Peter from Southbend clutch again for his excellent customer service. #1 for a reason.

Yeah, I have been working on my figure, but mostly just assuring that I'm perfectly round. I know my leg feels the 3600# plate when driving my brothers 3600 yesterday. There is a huge difference in the feel of the pedal between my truck & my brothers, like going from stock to a monster clutch.

Is the 3600 still a lever style pressure plate, or is it a diaphragm style like the 3250? The 3250 I have in my 12v feels just like stock, but my 3600 (which is about 2 years old) feels much heavier. I was hoping for a heavy pedal in the 12v, makes switching trucks much easier on the leg.
