So, I just got done swapping out the clutch on my 2000 CTD. Heres the deal, what ya think? The original Clutch was a LUK, and had the numbers 52107611AB & 9L09C on it, was that a stock clutch?



The one I replaced it with is also a LUK, but is a LD9008 Pro Gold and had this other number on it 3M22B. I am wondering what clutch this is, and what HP it is good for? It looks BRAND NEW, even though it came from the 97 12 CTD donor I have. I ended up using the Flywheel, Pressure plate and clutch plate from the 12v, as mine had major heat scaring and a few heat cracks in the flywheel and pressure plate! :--)
 
From what I heard, South Bend clutches are based of off LuK clutches. I think South Bend uses different linings on their version, though.
 
The SBC setup I have, CON FE, has LUK labeled on the clutch disc. I believe the centers are LUK, and the linings are added on through SB.

The Pro-Gold should be good for 350 HP I think. Pretty much a heavy-duty stock replacement. SBC and Dodge use LUK parts.

sweet, so I actually got a decent clutch, as long as I keep the comp box on 3 or 4 I should be fine then huh? I am not a sled puller, so ya think this clutch will hold up to a Comp? I dont have anything else but exhaust and intake. I only pull a trailer once and a while (~6-10k LBS)
 
I have 158K on my clutch, RV275's and Edge EZ. I have never slipped it. And I do about the same pulling that you do. I am sure if you take care of it the new one will last for a long time.

It should, I went with the 6-speed SBC OFE because I tow 10K 95% of the time and didn't want to take any chances, although so far I haven't slipped the stocker, but I'm REAL careful with it.
