    Can the Eaton Easy Pedal clutch replace the clutch in a Rockwell 10 Speed? Current clutch has a really hard spring in it. Only use it to get moving and float the rest, but sitting at a light for any amount of time you most definitely sit in neutral.
    Any idea of pricing on one?

    I am sure Eaton makes a clutch for your application pricing varies depending upon engine the clutch is behind torque rating of the engine wither you are wanting a new or reman clutch. we usually pay $450-$800 for the clutches we use

    I personally am a fan of the Sachs twin xtend clutch self adjusting clutch win a manual override

    It can, along with the correct torque also be sure the clutch hub is not to big for the flywheel recess. If your truck has a single disc (17"?) you will be replacing it with a double disc (15.5"?). The only problem is that some flywheels are not drilled with both bolt patterns and requires machine shop labor. If you can buy a new clutch without a core charge it may be less expensive than a reman. I have bought some salvage yard cores for $50 to save money. If you go with a reman I suggest you get some local references from people using them not selling them.

    in my experience always a new eaton clutch, get the biggest one that fits your flywheel recess and it should last and last

    Cables and hydrolics can also cause high pedal pressure

    I prefer a lipe clutch over an eaton.
