Ebay Clutch

Have any of you guys used one of these clutches? I just ordered one, just to give it a shot. I was just wondering if any of you have used one.

I know that this is a little off subject but:

There is a place I have used for performance clutches (they will rebuild centerforce performance clutches, and big truck clutches). Everyone I know who has done business with them says the same thing, "Surge is awesome". From big truck mechanics, to gear heads, they are the best in the business.

They post all the pictures of their customers cars in the front office, and have even offered to stop by my garage one time to take driveline measurements. (they are very proud of their work)

I was able to locate a web site http://www.surgeclutchanddriveline.com/

They might do mail order (send in your clutch and they rebuild), its worth checking out. If you're local, you probably already know about them. I have not found a better place anywhere. They are truely masters of their craft.

If surge cannot help you, call your local diesel mechanic. Ask them who rebuilds their clutches.

NOTE: I have no affiliation other than being a customer with forementioned.

So far the deal has gone very well. Dan is a very nice guy to deal with, and ships etremely fast. I will keep you updated as the clutch gets installed.

Well the clutch is in and feels good. It is very smooth with just slightly over stock pedal feel. I have not towed with it yet, but I will update as soon as I do.
