I have 150 miles on it now, and LOVE it so far!!! A question though...the truck is kinda jumpy off the line. I didn't have this problem with the stock clutch...Just wondering if there's anything I can do better (more gas, less gas, quicker clutch let-off, slower clutch let-off...) so this doesn't happen, especially during break-in. Also, it makes my GF wanna -:t lol
I can't seem to get around this happening, unless I start in 1st, with no throttle till I get moving.
Thanks

Is this a single or dual disc?

Unfortunately, that's the nature of the beast. The ceramic is very grabby and doesn't engage as smoothly as the stocker. Of course, it will actually hold, unlike the stocker. Think of it as reassurance that it's gonna hold what you throw at it and keep on going. And my wife will side with your girlfriend. She hates it that it's so grabby and can be a little jumpy when it's cold.

Now I have about 300 miles on the clutch, and it's warming up a little more here in MN...It's getting pretty smooth!!!!
I can safely say that I am in LOVE with this clutch!!

I just got mine about a month and a half ago. I just try to get out of it as quick as possible. The more miles I put on it the smoother it gets.

I can tell you that at least with the dual disk, the more power you throw at it, the better it is.

can anyone put a sound clip up of the dual disk sprung hub on here? trying to figure out if mine is the same as others. it holds power but sounds like crap.

All the non-sprung hubs do. Not sure how to post a sound clip.
