I have an 1989 F-250 and id like to change the clutch out. Were they equipped with a single or dual mass clutch? Inquiring minds want to know ........thanks!

Originally they were dual mass flywheels. Lots of them have been converted to single mass, as the dual mass flywheels are very expensive, and can cause catastrophic damage when they let loose. Like damaging the transmission or engine.

The only way to know is to look. You'll have to drop the transmission inspection cover to look at the flywheel.

I think the inspection plate won’t fit with the solid flywheel, so if you still have the inspection plate on your transmission that means you have the dual-mass setup. I installed the LuK 07225 kit about a year ago and it’s been great. I had a perfection clutch (solid flywheel) on the past and it drove equally good.

I did at one time too. Now I don't remember what I did with that stupid thing.

How? It doesn't affect me while I'm driving. I don't go underneath the truck with the engine running.

Did you guys have to modify the inspection cover to keep it from rubbing? What clutch kit did you use? I would like to have an inspection cover if possible, but I had read several posts where people said it rubbed with the LuK kit.
I just used a LUK kit from Napa. Nothing fancy. Cover went on without issue or modification.

Same as Nero. Although I used a South Bend kit. Inspection cover went on with no modifications.
