    I was wondering what the the physical difference is between lower torque capacity to high torque capacity clutchs ?
    Is it just all in the disc design or do the high capacity set ups have heavier spring pressure plates with more clamp load ?

    Originally I was gonna say 4pad vs 6pad. After looking clearly that is not the only difference. My guess is the right combination of both.

    If you are stepping up just be sure the clutch hub will fit in the flywheel.

    I think damper and pressure plate springs are different. A 1650 usually has a 4pad disc and higher ratings an 6 pad.

    I am looking at stepping up to a higher rated capacity clutch because with the tune I’m running in my 14 liter ddec 5 series 60 I can slip the clutch on a hill when I’m in high gear.
    It only slips when I am loaded and on a long hill and I tip in the throttle in high gear and the boost shoots up to 45 or 50#s and then she cuts loose.

    The clutch that’s in there is a 1650 easy pedal but I think it’s a six pad.
    That’s why I was wondering where the higher capacity clutch’s get there holding power from?

    That’s scary. Does it still hold you in lower gears on a downgrade?
