I have a new clutch kit and flywheel in my 150 4.9 m5od 4x4 3.55 gears been in it for 3 months but today my buddy got stuck I was in high 1rst gear on greasy mud the clutch started burning and smokin. Tires wouldnt spin anyone else use autozone kits?

 

Never have had any luck with the junk that they sell.

 

Duralast has to be the worst brand of clutch i have ever driven. You can forget spinning tires, instead you will do clutch burnouts. Also with the duralast kit the clutch was very hard to push down.

 

What is a good clutch kit to get I work my truck so I need durabilty

 

I used a Sachs Slave Cylinder, and Clutch Kit...

I can't remember the name of the Flywheel I used..

All in all, $274 Installed...

 

You paid $274 for a clutch AND it was installed for that price?


To the OP, look in to a LUK clutch or Borg Warner

 

I did the work myself...

Clutch, Pressure Plate, Throw Out Bearing, Flywheel, and Slave Cylinder...

 

Then I wouldn't call that "Installed"

 

"Installed" kind of implies you paid to have the work done.

Rangergirl, why on earth would you go to Autozone and get whatever made in China crap they sell for a clutch kit? I figured you have been around these forums long enough to know better!

Get a Luk kit.

 

Luk, Hays, or even FoMoCo. Always spend the money and buy quality parts the first time.

Good Luck.

 

Yea I screwed up I was on a tight budget

 

Installed is self explanitory.....Whether paid, or by myself...

If I'd have paid for it...I'd have listed it as a PAID installation...

 

i hear center force has some serious stuff

 

My buddy uses a center force in his pulling truck. It definitely grabs like nothing else I've ever used.
When I replaced the clutch in my truck I got whatever severe duty kit that Carquest sells. I will say that I'm not overly impressed with it, but it doesn't slip or anything with a load behind the truck or when I pull out stuck vehicles so that's a plus.

 

Centerforce is HD towing/Racing...So yea...They're serious...And serious $$$ too...

IIRC...A M5OD clutch kit from them was a mere $450...
