#5018, "RE: Had trouble installing South Bend DXD clutch" In response to In response to 0
Originally posted by DSMxTSi The threaded bolt holes didn't line up with the coresponding holes on the drive plate. The first bolt was fine, but then the next three went from roughly 1/8" to 1/4" off. I probably should've sent the POS back to South Bend but I elected to take a die grinder and notch the holes wider on the drive plate. Hopefully it'll still be centered once we get the tranny up in there. If the tranny-to-block bolts line up just fine then it should be ok. If not then we'll get our money back and get a ClutchMasters. $500 for a clutch and it should NOT be this much trouble to install. I won't buy from South Bend again, regardless of how well this clutch performs.
Cody- I hope you don't really mean this. Your south bend unit is a top notch quality clutch back by a full service company.
Any time you have a problem with anything you can call us and we will help.
Please don't install that unit after grinding on it. I will be glad to replace it for you no charge.
Give me a call and I get you fixed up.1-800-988-4345
