Yes, its slow shifting and mine is only a little loud w/ the clutch pushed in. In neutral I cant here it above the engine. If I had the extra coin Id go w/ Haisley (which will be my next clutch) just for the fact I love to bang through the gears, and I hear that Haisley is extremely fast shifting for a DD.

Sorry, not meaning to hijack, but I've got a clutch question too. Are the SBC DD 3250s loud at Idle? I've been looking at getting either that clutch or the DD Haisley street drag, and don't know which one to get. I heard the 3250 is slow shifting, and loud. I heard the Haisley is smooth fast shifting, pulls trailers great, and isn't loud, but it costs a lot more. I've been trying to make up my mind on the two for awhile, but I havn't really gotten any straight up facts to help me decide which one to get.
I don't know how the Haisley (or Luk) could be much quieter, so long as it still have dual disks? I would also imagine that ANY DD is going to be slower shifting than a single, which of course we all know is considerable slower than an auto.......
Point being, if anyone is intending on building a race truck, the 6 speed is a bad starting point. At the same time (IMO) if you are looking to do a lot of pulling, the auto is not the best choice.
How much is the Haisley?

Yes, mine has some noise to it. Almost like a 2nd gen motor sounds. Like anything else though, I've gotten used to it.

Seems like some gears are "notchier" than others, like it wants to wait to equalize longer or something.

Ok I got ya on the notchier gears, and the slow shifting.Kinda like driving one with a clutch thats going bad. See thats what I'm not wanting. If the haisley isn't like that, then I'll spend the extra on it. I'd love to drive trucks with both of em and see what I want, but I dont know anyone around here that has anything other than the ofe and the fe.
