New Clutch

Ok, so im rebuilding the SROD in the bronco and figured I should put a new clutch in since its going to be easily acessable. So i found this company that will me a me a 11" dual friction clutch for $150, good deal? I've seen the centerforce one go for double of that.

the more grab that clutch produces the more strain it will put on the rest of the tranny and other stuff like ujoints etc.. I would just go with a stage 1 centerforce on that type tranny. now if it was a zf for instance then the dual friction would be the way to go because it could handle it better.

yea, stay 11" for sure. the more surface area for the clutch to grab the better

Im leaning towards the alst 2. Thr middle link one offers a 12 mon. warranty on it and its a lot cheaper. I was leaning more heavily towards the borg warner one since its a name I know and have seen used.
