Lost my Clutch

Clutch depends on what kind of torque Rating and Quality anywhere from 420 all way to 1500 as far as labor goes probably around 8 to 15 Hrs depends on truck and what kind of set up it is. Looking at probably another 150 in cutting flywheel pilot bearing, clutch brake, and shifter gasket. The only thing that can make it a little more expensive is if you need an input shaft if yours is worn and bell housing gasket or clutch install kit to do it properly.

 

Sounds like driver abuse. Just kidding. I had a boss once tell me the clutch should last the life of the truck. ( sounds like something a boss would say) Can't tell you the cost, as I always did the job myself( with a helper, those clutches are heavy) One thing I can tell you, I went through 2 clutches on my Western Star, and both times, the springs in the disc ( not pressure plate) broke. When I told the parts guy, he said, I could go with the "extreme duty" disc, no springs. Although, it did engage a little rougher, I never had a clutch problem again. Good luck. Make sure you replace the pilot bearing in the flywheel too .

 

Im still waiting for the video of you losing your clutch......

 

I was just kidding. Like I say, I never puked a clutch until I got my own truck, then like 2 in 18 months. Even when I sold the Western Star, and got the old Pete( in avatar) same thing. 6 months in, and clutch went out, disc springs again. ( although, it was pulling heavy RR containers in Chicago traffic) Go with the springless, it's much more reliable.

 

800K on the first clutch is good. No space out blame.
$1,800 to $2,500 Clutch, throw out bearing, pressure plate, labor, including resurfacing the flywheel. Get the factory clutch.

 

$960 for my new eaton 2050....

Plus turned flywheel and new rear main .....

Oil , grease and filters.... I'm working on a migraine....

 

Clutch brake only activates with the pedal on the floor. What kills those clutch brakes more than anything is putting the clutch to the floor while still rolling.
