What do yall think about a button clutch for my 95? I heard they hold really good. Thanks

South Bend Clutch 13" Con OFE upgrade. Smooth and will hold the power. .

Luk also makes a very nice 13" HD clutch for the 5spds.

Got one of the LUK Cerametalic jobbies sitting out in my "media room" waiting to be installed - $550 + shipping to TDR members...

They hold well definatley, but they are grabby as hell!



Stay away from them, and go with South Bend is my advice.

the reason i was wondering was because of the price. The button is $135 brand new (the list is 150, i work at an auto shop). i heard the will hold any power but they hold so good that you have to be careful or you will snap your driveline like a twig! thanks.

See my above statement! They hold extremely well, but because they do they are EXTREMELY grabby! You couldn't pay me to run another button clutch! (1st clutch I ever installed in a BOMBed CTD was TST's 13" button..... glad I fried it sled pulling! :-laf )

Yeah i would spend the extra money and get the south bend. I was VERY VERY happy with mine.

been useing a button for years in my gas puller -0 problems. also have cne in my plow truck, they are great. i would not think twice about putting one behind a cummins.

i got the tst 13" button and like every one else says there grabby the only problem i have with it is backing up the rpmshave to be a little bit higher for a smooth start. but i like the clutch

The TST clutch will fry sledpulling. It will also have alot of grab, and with 3. 54s or big tires it will be worse.
