South Bend Clutch 03 5spd

[BDickinson]

Has anyone put a south bend clutch in their 03 i'm getting ready to get one just thought i'd get some other peoples opion

Yup, got the MU1947-ConFE in ours. Held past 560hp no problem.

 

[BDickinson]

Well i really only want to push the 400rwhp so i think the ConO will due but what do you think. How does the pedal feel

 

[daytripper63]

At what point do I need to be concerned about input shaft breaking?

 

[BDickinson]

Good point thats something i'd like to know too

 

[JHardwick]

One thing I never asked you Kieth, how drivable is that clutch?



I'll get there Oo.

If you weren't told it was a con fe, you would think you just had a better holding, more positive engagement stocker. Those who buy the minimum clutch they think they need, often end up buying another clutch.

 

[KLockliear]

BDickson, SBC no longer offers a Con OFE or FE in the 5-speed. You'll need the 13" upgrade, which is the same clutch as what the 6-speeds run, but with the 1. 25" splined input shaft.



Clutch effort is about the same as stock, with engagement a bit more positive for the OFE... the FE is grabby, but you don't want to slip it with that kind of tq anyway.

 

[Fred Swanson]

The Con FE is very driveable.

 

[BDickinson]

Whats the price differance in upgrading to a 13'? I was going to get a bigger clutch but was told not to over kill because it was just as bad as not having enough. I'm going down to the Farm Machine show tommorrow maybe i can find a good deal on a SBC Oo.

well with my TST box on level 5/5... clutch is slipping noticably in the 1600 rpm range



i think i better go for the 13 inch 6-spd clutch conversion, but DANG! $1250 or so? and have someone install it?



it there a less expensive alternative? (and turning down the box IS NOT the one i want)

I've installed the street model dual disc on my brothers truck(04), very easy. No adjustment, no removing the washer under the pivit point on the fork and very nice to drive.



Kieth did you say 560hp... Nice.



tomeygun if you want to get one I'll help instal. (bonus of being a showmesmoker) www.showmesmokers.com
