Southbend #1947-0 clutch

[Deleted member 995608]

Anyone using the basic #1947-0 from SB?



I see most guys using the 1947-con but their trucks are juiced but mine ain't nor will it ever be.



My first OEM clutch lasted about 120K and my current has more than that so no complaints there other than the OEM cost. The dealer quoted me $840 for the clutch and another $128 for the throw out bearing.



The $485 for the #1947-0 clutch and throw out bearing from SB is looking pretty good.



I'm also gonna slap in a new cam seal, rear main seal and transmission mount. If I'm able to remove the oil pan with the transmission out, I'll switch that gasket out too.

I am running the SBC 1947-O and have been for about 30k. No problems and operates just like the stock clutch did. I did not have to do the hydraulic upgrade with this one. My stock clutch and disk were good. The only thing that was wrong with mine was the bearings were trashed.
