Clutche prices
Well Ive heard alot of you guys talking about the Luk clutch with flywheel and was curious as to what is a price range I can execpt to find. I was quoted a little over $800 which includes all parts and shipping. Is this a fair price or are they trying to put one over on me.This clutch kit is their high end, super strong kit. Just curios as to what you guys think. Thank you

Bought one this morning from Carolina Clutch. LUK Kit with Clutch and SMFW was less than $600. Tom, the gentleman that helped me has been excellent in helping me diagnose the problem and helped me to determine that for my application, the standard clutch was all that I needed. So far I strongly recommend them.

And how do you know when your clutch is going? Can you step on the accel pedal and watch the rpms climb before the heat and friction increase and the truck catches up or the rpms drop to show a solid grab?

I purchased my Luk kit with the solid mass flywheel from Carolina Clutch. Tom was the gentleman I dealt with and was excellent at explaining the difference between the standard and cerametallic clutches. I am a stocker and use it around the farm. He recommended that the standard was more than adequate for my needs and would take care of me. I too lost the DMFW and not the clutch in my truck. It was trying to shake its self apart.
