I'm looking for options on what type of clutch I need for my W900A. The clutch I have now is fine, but it is so grabby it drives me crazy on hills taking off. Plus if someone else gets in the truck it throws them for a loop. My previous truck wasn't like this at all and I'm hoping you all can tell me what type/brand/etc I should look at. The truck has a big cam Cummins running around 425 hp and nowhere near the torque of a newer 425 hp motor, and a RTLO 13 speed so I don't need anything crazy. Thanks for any help.

Just get a new 1650 torque eaton easy pedal. Can't go wrong .

Have you checked the linkage for play?
Had a Freightliner with a worn out bushing,it would get to a certain point,then move 1/2" on its own. -

It's probley got a ceramic clutch .
There terrible to drive. No slip at all .
Had a 2000 kw came that way from new.
Replaced it after one week of driving it with a genuine eaton easy pedal. That was 13 years ago and it's still going strongTGUNKEL Thanks this. -
clutch in my Mack is like that as well. i don't like it, i also think my throwout rod bushings are shot too, i am actually thinking that is a big part of it. when i got the truck it didn't have grease zerks in them and didn't look like they had for a long time. is slightly better with grease zerks and frequent greasing. but pedal is not smooth at all and the clutch is like a on off switch.
ill probably put a easy pedal in it at some point. -
Are you sure what size clutch the truck has in it? -

Thanks for the help guys. I don't know what size it is, but the previous owner did tell me he had replaced it a few years ago. I hate to replace a low mile newer clutch but I don't know what he was thinking when he had this clutch put in.
Does anyone know roughly what an easy pedal costs?
