Just got off the phone with Kevin and am placing an order for their ceramic/kevlar. I'm getting a great deal, thanks Cody.

i just put a new kevlar/ceramic in mine about 5000 miles ago or so and all i can say is good luck slipping that bad boy. LoL. it has good pulling manners and backs trailers pretty well also. y'all will love your val-air clutches. the only thing with mine is i have some gear rollover going on which i'm sure is at fault of the tranny since it's getting tough to put into first and second from a stop and i have hell getting it into reverse. totally not at fault of the clutch, more at fault of a tranny with 270xxx miles on it and never been completely rebuilt.

just an fyi, if you do get a slight grinding sound when you put it in neutral and let off the clutch then it's simply the gear rollover and Dan told me to put an extra quart of fluid in mine to quiet it down. he said the gear rollover usually stops as the clutch gets broken in so no big deal.
