South Bend clutch, Valair Clutch and Hasley are the names people like around here.
I personally have a SBC 3250 sprung hub dual disc, and I love it.
They dont like when you post prices.
I know the DTR store sells clutchs, but you have to call them.

have had both SB con fe (sold truck)and valair ceramic still pulling strong , both worked great never had a problem. Don't think you could go wrong with either of those. Heard good things about hasiley, no nothing about powerpartsengineering but that doesn't mean they are not a great clutch

I'm a southbend guy, the Fe is great, but for a few more buck a DD is really nice. I have the 12cb 3850 now and it engages smoother than my old FE.

im not any more the 2nd time it melted was enough when they fixed it i put it on the shelf and got another one. im not putting sbc down they fixed mine no ? asked both times but there are other alternitives out there but it seemes thet all anyone wants to tell someone is go get a south bend. i will say one thing the clutch i have now does not have the bronze insert in the flywheel so if you get it hot enough it will weld together. the south bend wont it just meltes the bronze. and you have no clutch.

I just ordered a Valair Clutch today. I would call around ask some questions, get some prices and go with who sounds best. They all seem to have positive feed back. Valair clutchs are priced better and i have never heard a bad word about there product or service so i called one day and BS for a while, liked what i heard so i gave them a try.

I love my ValAir, Dan is a great guy to deal with over the phone and he knows his product very well and he stands behind it. I need to give him a shout about getting one of their new clutches and giving it a try

I have 400-450 hp and I drive the truck very hard and it has never slipped. I have done sledpulling type launches while pulling tree trunks, stuck tractors etc. and it just keeps on grabbing! The only clutch that I will ever buy is a ValAir!

+2 for Valair, I have had two of their cluthes, one for 5 bills and and second one was free! Great customer service! His fault for undersizing me so he sent me an FE for free.
