TST 1000ft/lb Clutch
I installed a clutch from TST 1000ft/lb. I had read on here about high performance clutches being grabby so I ask this question when talking to them. They said it might "jump" alittle backing with a trailer. It's tearing my truck apart! Loaded I can't take off with out it jerking and jumping (I think the front tires came off the ground!). The people at TST Mark and everyone there has been a pleasure to deal with I'm sure when I have a chance to talk to them they will make everything right. I called after breaking my stock clutch and ask about a PM 3 Mark said to send my PM2 and they would reflash it free. I sent it on Mon. they received it on Wed. I had it back Fri. I didn't expect it to be returned so quickly. I just wanted to let everyone know if you want a pulling or race clutch this is for you. If you need a clutch for hauling this is not for you!

This clutch is also no good for even a little sled pulling. My friend fried his on the first try and really did not slip it that much.
sbc all the way.

From what I've seen (and felt) there is no slip. When I let out it starts grabbing (no slip) and shakes the heck out of my truck. I was wondering about the SBC is the engagement smooth? How is the pedal feel? Is there any shutter when taking off with a load?
Thank for the input!

From everything I've heard, the SBC feels just like a stock clutch, but a tad grabbier(is that a word). The OFE is a little tricky when backing a trailer, but you can learn to back through it.

Try cheating and using Low Range while backing with a performance clutch thats what i used to do to slow things down and beable to fully release teh clutch

My SBC is super smooth. The pedal is softer than stock and it engages way lower . It is a little tricky to relearn yourself how to back a trailer, but once you get it down its really not a problem. Using 4low is a good trick for a grabby clutch .
