You are probably right, most guys here do seem to have autos (including me).
However the stock clutch should be LUK so if you want to go again check out those. Carolina Clutch was doing good deals on them a while back.

these guys have been building my clutches for 30+ years.......for all applications, typically a 24 hour turn-a-round. They have always worked right the 1st time and last 100k+. Prices are typically less than OEM, and the other "performance guys".

Can someone educate me here; what do you do when you rebuild a clutch?
I've replaced clutches before, and the structure was a center hub coupled through springs to a larger disc lined with friction materials on both sides. I once also replaced the pressure plate, which a structure that had 3 levers that lifted a spring loaded plate off the clutch friction plate.
Does "rebuilding" a clutch mean replacement of some of these component parts? Or is the clutch for a big truck much different than for a pass-car that there are more parts to it?

try Valaire . i just replaced mine and the $ i saved allowed me to upgrade to a 350HP clutch. alot of the guys here use these clutch kits. mine went in with no issues and performs perfectly. ive got about 15 miles on it. im supposed to take it easy on it for the 1st 500 mikes or so. i also got rid of that dual mess flywheel and put in a solid one. guess what...no more rattleing noise! im driving a F250PSD 4X4 by the way. and i also changed out the rear main seal while i was in there. my old 1 was just barely leaking so it was time.

I'm not quite sure what you want...
OEM is good but pricey
Centerforce is an excellent product but more than oem (typically)
Clutchmasters is an excellent business for having them either rebuild your clutch or provide one outright to you, price is less than OEM or Centerforce...an equally well known name for 30+ years in SoCal, building oem replacement units to providing products for NASCAR, INDY, etc.
There would be clutch rebuilders in your area as well....most are very good at what they do and have access to the same materials (parts) as anyone else! It's just a matter of assembling the correct parts for your application and operational needs.
