I've got an 02' with the 6 speed tranny and I'm wondering if my stock clutch will hold the Edge Ez or something compatible. <br>Thanks,<br>Dustin

 

From what I understand, a very large percentage of people with 6 spd's do not have a problem with the EZ and a stock clutch. That said, there have been SOME who have had problems. I know one of them. His was starting to slip and he unplugged the EZ until he could put a new clutch in. I would recommend calling South Bend Clutch, or calling Edge Products to see what they say. <br><br>My personal opinion is that I wouldn't take any chances, but always remember that you are your own warranty station.

 

Silver Bullett, I have Diesel Dynamics version of the EZ and have had no clutch problems yet.(22,000 miles) I have a 9000 lb 5er and haven't slipped it yet, even during some hot rodding done up some nasty grades with trailer in tow. Jack is right, some do and some don't, I got lucky and got a decent one. I run the box on the most aggressive setting. Good luck!<br><br>Sam

 

I'm going to second what Jack said. Approximately 1% of all the people who have ordered EZs from me have slipped their stock clutches. I have my suspicions that some factory pressure plates are flawed from the factory don't exert enough force on the disc to hold.<br><br>My recommendation would be to give an EZ a try. If it doesn't slip the clutch, you're good. If it does, then unplug it. After unplugging, you've got two choices: return the EZ or upgrade to a South Bend Clutch. I have my suspicions, uncomfirmed (everyones upgraded to SBC ;D), that a stock clutch that slips with an EZ will also end up failing earlier.<br><br>Rod

 

I just thought I would put my 2 pennies worth in, as I must be in the 1 percentile rank. I have a edge comp, no pump wire, so its running in e-z mode. My clutch didnt last 2 weeks. I pull a fairly heavy camper, but I'm sure other people have pulled WAY more than I do. Everyone I talked to said my stock clutch should be fine. Maybe yours WILL, but I would recomend:be prepared to spend the $900 if nessasary. Good Luck!!! <br><br> Cat Cracker.

 

Can't argue with Cat on that one. Like I say, I think most of the people who have problems are in the minority, but you just never know. I personally would do the clutch first. That way you don't have to worry about it when you're ready to lay the power down!

 

I'm in the same boat as cat cracker, as I have the same box and can make my clutch slip if I get on it real hard, even when running empty. I like the responsiveness of box so well that I just drive carefully. <br><br>Unfortunately I can't get it to slip with the box off or I'd go chat with the dealer about the warranty. I have only 10,000 miles on it.

 

Here's my 2 cents. If you have the EZ, then it probably wont be long until you want more, more, more. Trust me it happens to all of us. I would just pinch pennys and get a clutch that will hold
