When the tranny went bad in Yellowstone I decided since the truck had 200K on it to change the clutch as a precaution since it was all apart...mistake! Without my knowledge the repair shop put in a full metallic clutch disc with the matching pressure plate. They also did not turn the flywheel saying it was fine.

Shortly after installation I noticed the clutch was grabby. Thinking it would wear in and smooth out I carried on. It only got worse.

So yesterday I took the truck to my Indie and had them put in a new clutch. The flywheel was dished out pretty good. When i noticed the new clutch disc was all metal I talked to John about it and he said they were pretty known to be grabby. After a discussion we decided to get an oem quality clutch with organic friction material.

Labor and all parts are being covered by NAPA. Unfortunately they would not give us anything except what had been put in my truck (without my knowledge) in the original repair.

So I'm gonna sell off the all metal clutch and PP. I'll have to pay for the organic clutch though.
