New Clutch options.

Hey Guys, I am changing the clutch on my 79 F 250 with 400. I'm curious what you guys prefer, I used to run the diaphragm style but the clutch I'm taking out is the style with the 3 fingers. Any preference?

Diaphragm all the way baby! Those three finger clutch's are great for for making one leg way stronger than the other

I don't think I've used the three finger clutch before. I recently had the clutch changed on my Bronco with a 351M and both the old and the new were diaphragm clutches. So far so good, nice and smooth. If a three finger clutch is stiffer than the diaphragm that sounds terrible though, my Bronco has a fairly heavy clutch pedal as it is, but it sure has a smooth throw to it.

If you want a real work out just put a borg and beck clutch in your bronco! they are a great clutch but you earn each throw of the pedal.
