been thinking that i should use the standard clutch as i dont want heavy duty clutch sending to much power thru box and stuffing the box. would rather replace the clutch then the whole box and ill see how it goes i guess

Quote: been thinking that i should use the standard clutch as i dont want heavy duty clutch sending to much power thru box and stuffing the box. would rather replace the clutch then the whole box and ill see how it goes i guess Huh? Any clutch that is fully engaged will send all the power through the gearbox, the only time it won't is when it is partially dis-engaged (ie foot resting on the pedal) or slipping because its ****ed.

Higher clamping force, More resistant to power, ie; can transmit higher loads.

Springs are stiffer in hd clutch, lot more positive engagement.
