Which clutch to buy ??

Alright, I have the 100 hp quad on and made the mistake running it on 100 hp with a car trailer in tow. Well I slipped the clutch in 6th gear and now I can't use the 100 hp setting in any gear without slipping it. That sucks because the guy i bought the truck from said the clutch was replaced in December. Anyway, I know that there is talk on the boards of what is the clutch to run, but my computer is screwing up bad and I can't sit here and search all night.
Can someone tell me what cluch I need and where to get it ?
I am going to upgrade to the 140 box and need a clutch that will support that and then some.

It's good to know centerforce clutch is holding on the 3rd gens. I didn't put one in my truck because centerforce told me they would hold a certain HP & torque#, but I think the torque was only 750 or so. But on 2nd gen trucks, CF doesn't replace the 12.25" with a 13" like SB does, so I went with a SB 13" conversion.

Forget Centerforce, if your going to make any power what so ever go with a South Bend FE, OFE or Dual Disk.

clutch

The luk cerametallic clutch works very well for me. I had the same problem you have with slippage in 6th gear, this clutch is also a lot cheaper than southbend. I bought mine at dial-a- clutch.com

I don't want to start this again, but you have all the opinions. You could not give me a metallic (ceramic) clutch for my truck. No way I would ever install one in my truck. They break things.

I have the 100 hp quadzilla box. Can I expect my auto tranny to slip. I don't haul anything, just play with the power on occasion. I assumed the tires would break loose well before any slippage would occur. correct me if I'm wrong.

My vote goes to SB. I just put one in my pickup last week. The clutch holds great and the service, well there's just not words for the customer service. Peter helped me out a lot and I didn't feel like he was pressuring to get off the phone. There are other clutches out there. Will they hold the power? probably. Will you get the service of SB? deffinetly not. I've heard to many good stories on this site and other about SB. The customer servie is what sold me.
