what clutch to get for my truck without tearing it down or is there a way

 

It depends, are you wanting to stay with a stock clutch or beef it up a little bit? Thats pretty much the big question when buying a new clutch.

People on hear seem to be happy with Southbend products.

 

I love my luk clutch. it has a very easy pedal.

 

well is all i need is one of the clutches that u posted in that link to cover it all

 

bought my sbc con ofe from beans.

 

say my truck is stock and i need a clutch would mine more than likely be a solid flywheel or would it be a dual mass flywheel??? which is it more likely to be??? it is a 97 f-250 with the 7.3 powerstroke and i do not know if this will make a diff.. but the bottom of the tranny has a dust cover on it... plz give me a answer as soon as possible cause i have 2 pull a camper to lawrence county in another week...

 

If you have a factory setup you have a DMF. When you do the job get a SMF to replace it. It is a direct swap. They are cheaper and stronger.

 

If the clutch is VERY stiff. It is probably stock.

 

yea it is pretty stiff... and how much would it cost me to put in the smf clutch thingy

 

Not too much a few hundred dollars with clutch and PP and f-wheel. See carolina clutch.com They are supporters of this site. And cheap, quality parts. Get a LUK!!

 

is this all i need???? or is there more???? http://www.carolinaclutch.com/ShowItem/108873.aspx

 

i need this 2 don't i??? http://www.carolinaclutch.com/ShowItem/106061.aspx but is there more than that???

 

Yes you do need both. They probably have the whole kit for a little cheaper, FW/PP/clutch combo. If you don't see it call them. Sorry I was a little off on the guestimate. I guess I was just thinking of the FW. Anyway a DMF FW will cost you $1000 alone. So the SMF is cheaper and stronger.

 

but is that all i need??? if so that is still cheap imo.... but that is just me

 

Yup that should do it. I don't think the pilot bushing needs done. It has been awhile since I did mine.

BTW I would also replace the slave cylinder since you will already have it off at that time.
