Do I need a new clutch?
Was hauling some cattle last week and started to notice something didnt feel quite right with my truck. Seemed to be "slipping" a little when I was really towing hard up and down hills. I noticed it more this week, without towing the trailer just hauling some Big Round Bales. Went to a Farm/Ranch show in Wichita today, and really noticed it, whenever I really accelerated, in about every gear I ran through. I've never had a standard transmission, but it sure feels like an old automatic tranny that starts slipping. This is a stock clutch, from what I know, so what type/brand should I go with if I replace this one? I pull about 20,000#'s when my trailer is loaded with cattle, so I want heavy duty clutch that will outlive the present transmission. I just fixed the 5th gear nut last spring, and replaced a few bearings in the transmission at that time.
thanks,
coadman
