Clutch! What will work!

[99strokerinmt]

I have a 99 6speed that i bought from a guy who said he just put a brand new LUK in not too long ago. I had it for a day and noticed it was Slipping very badly and a month later it is shot. I have been told i have a Dual Clutch System but also have heard they dont make them for my year. If it has a Luk or even the Dual System i should be able to throw in any clutch kit i want right?
any help is appreciated

im not aware of any 6 Speeds with Dual systems.. it should be a single solid 13" Flywheel...

if your looking for just a replacement clutch this is a good one: NMU70241

let me know if you have any questions

Hey thanks i think your right, but that one you mentioned is about 90 dollars cheaper then the one i was looking at locally thanks

South Bend makes a dual disc clutch but I don't believe ford has ever sold dual disc clutches. If the clutch is already slipping within a couple of months of being replaced It's eather been badly abused (played with) of you could have a weak pressure plate if they didnt replace that with the clutch.

just cause their cheaper does not make it lower quality.. these are high quality clutches at a good price....

I have an early 99 also and have gone thur three clutches in 130,000 miles. The last clutch broke something in trans. Put new clutch in now its starting to go bad what clutch are you looking at putting in. Thanks John

im guessing that one i got a link on from stealth-automotive.com they have one there for 315.00 which is a perfect price right now. i am not pushing that much horsepower i have a superchip and intake. Im guessing the guy before was an idiot and didnt know how to drive a stick.

Have done a factory ford clutch, valeo, and lukk and all have not work worth a crap. So thinkin next will be a south bend so then shouldn't have any more problems.

I think alot of clutch problems is poor driving, my dad went 300K on the stock clutch, with 80hp chip, 4in exhaust, and intake, i have the truck now southbend clutch was installed a 300K and now has 438K and the only problem I have is on my 140hp tune I get a rattle/vibration on hard acceleration, i dont know if its the clutch though.

wow thats impressive to get 300K miles on a stock clutch. what's your dad's secret to driving? What kind of driving did the vehicle see during that 300K. I can see a highway vehicle doing that good but I'll be more impressed if that was a work vehicle on dirt roads and mud.
