clutch-tires

[DavidD]

Hello forum membes, it has been a while since I have posted been traveling a bit. I have a 98. 5 24V, 5sp, I have been looking for a clutch for my truck any recommendations as far as brand. I have a VA box, 275 injectors, boost mod. the factory clutch is just starting to show signs of slipping at 90K. also i was wondering if anyone has tried the new Goodyear MT/R's? I am running 315"s on ultra alloys now so would need that same size . Thanks for your help, Dave

Given your mods I would give South Bend Clutch ( http://www.southbendclutch.com/ )a call and talk to Peter. They have a range of clutches for your truck and can set you up right. There are many satisfied south bend customers here on the site - you could do a search on south bend and get tons of info on them.

I took a very long look at the GoodYears. I have been a Goodyear man for 18 years. I really liket the aggresiveness of the tread yet they looked like they would be fairly quiet. But, something happened when they told me the price. . . I suddenly remembered how fast GoodYear's wear down, and how unevenly they wear on the front of every vehicle I have had them on (Grand Lemans '75; K10 Jimmy '84; Trans Am '79; Maxima '84; Volvo '97; S-10 Blazer '94) all with the same results. Now I finally understand how the PSD guys can complain somuch about their trucks then turn around and buy another. Bizarre The only thing that broke the chain for me, was a Goodyear store tried to screw me on an airconditioner recharge (long story).

So, I will go with the general consensus of the TDR, which seems to be BF Goodrich A/T. They are a load range D tire that are weight rated to 33 or 34 hundred pounds (I don't recall which). They are said to wear evenly (like my present michellin LTX tires do, that's a first for me )The members seem to be getting alot of miles out of the also. So, there is my big winded opinion.
