weak clutch
i did my clutch about 18k miles ago and its already starting to slip again. i never slip my clutch, and ive always known how to drive a manual so its not like i learned on it. i think i ruined it by pulling my boat around. another possibility is that the pressure plate could be bad. the clutches on these 150s are weak links. is there a more aggressive clutch kit out there for these trucks? my local guy has the kit for like 90 bucks but i don't want to run into the same problem.

that centerforce clutch seems awesome. pricey but i bet it wont burn up like the one i have now. what size flywheel do these trucks have? the 150s have a 10 inch right? That centerforce clutch says its 11 inch, but it appears to fit my truck.

Lastly, it says its a 10 spline, CHECK YOUR SPLINES BEFORE ordering.....Just a FYI there....

True....I can't imagine mine with a cam, 3.55 gears, a short throw kit and a TIGHT clutch.....
The Centerforce clearly say it's for eiter high Horsepower or High Torque apps......I gues I definantly aint in the high HP group
And yeah, the 300 a is a brutally slow pulling engine....The slower, less RPM's it can pull with, the better....But a tough as nails contender....
