FAQ
Is this clutch good for frequent heavy towing?Yes. The full-organic facings provide the smoothest low-speed control for backing and launching under load, making it ideal for tow rigs when sized within the rating.
How does pedal feel compare to stock?
The diaphragm pressure plate keeps pedal effort comfortable while offering a strong clamp once engaged—daily-driveable for most owners.
Will it fit my 2007–2018 6.7L with G56?
Yes. This kit is designed for 2005.5–2018 Ram 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the G56 6-speed manual.
Should I upgrade the hydraulics?
It’s not strictly required, but higher-clamp clutches benefit from fresh or HD hydraulics for consistent release—especially on older trucks.
Is this clutch SFI certified or suited for competition?
No. It is a Street/Tow system and is not SFI-approved. For competition use, choose an SFI-rated package.
