South bend clutches come with the SMF. A good one is 650.00, here's a link

Thanks Ron and Kevin for the information. I did send a private message to Cody so I can check his source out.

I went Valair and would not get anything else if I were to do it again.
Cody has the hookup at Valair.
I went full ferramic but that is not for the faint of heart especially if you tow. I love mine and it is a daily driver. The clutch is easily manageable around town.

The ceramics and feramics are very grabby, and it makes backing up with a load kinda difficult. Or on takeoff it's not so smooth.

Oh, sounds like the perfect clutch for hauling to me. *shrugs*
I'm used to tractors. Your either engaged or dissengaged. haha.

That is true. It is engaged or disengaged...almost. When you have a heavy trailer and are backing up slowly the clutch is usually slipped a bit. In a tractor they have low enough gears to back up without slipping. We do not. Then it starts to jump and buck a bit. I usually throw it in 4 low for backing even then I need to slip every now and then.

X2 on takeoffs.
