Decent clutch?

[Mike83]

I am looking to replace the clutch in my 75 K20 pickup, whats a good one thats out there that isnt over about 4-500 bucks. i have the 4spd with granny low and 4:10 gears. this pickup will be a winter driver and my recovery vehicle for my K5. might try truck pulling once with it and see how it goes in stock class

Can't really go wrong with a LUK(quality stock replacement). or upgrade to a LUK Pro Gold(their performance series). We get ours through our transmission parts suppliers , but they are good known quality and I'll bet a regular ole parts store could get one ordered for you.

Any idea what the disc diameter is on this 4spd? and input shaft dia and spline count. i was trying not to rip it out of there until i have the new clutch but all the auto sites give me a pile of options for my specs lol. just a 350 in her

A Luk clutch is good. I don't know about the clutch diameter could probably be 11" or 12" but the spline count should be 10 IIRC.

1.125" 10-spline.

They were hard to beat at one time.

I put one in a friend's Mustang behind a 351CobraJet after he had trashed 3 of the best ones he could find.

He never lost another clutch.
After that, he started popping U-joints or twisting drive shafts.....

I put a Zoom clutch into my 77 K20, have no complaints with it. I later swapped that motor/trans/t-case into my K5. Clutch still looked good when had it appart. The K20 was my DD and tow rig in the winter (either a 2 place or a 4 place snowmobile trailer)...was in there for about 3 years before I took it out. I'd buy another one without thinking twice.

What is the engine? I put a stock replacement from SACHS in my truck I have a 327 4speed 3.73's and 38's. I beat the hell out of it for 8 months and when I went in to replace the throwout bearing that went south the clutch disk itself was still fine with a lot of life.

I run mud and most of the time it was in some soupy stuff with no inspection cover on it. Never had any problems with it slipping at all.

I now have a SACHS Performance Power Clutch tho because when the throwout bearing went it chewed up the fingers on the pressure plate so it was under warranty. I paid the extra money to upgrade and I can tell a huge difference in feel, and it grabs a ton harder than stock.

For the stock on I think it was like 100 bucks and the power clutch was 160 or something like that.

I have a sbc350, sm465 and I used a new 12" clutch kit from Carquest. Lifetime warranty, ect.ect. No problems @ all. I've used them in other vehicles as well. Price is good function great.
